It’s not customary to tip a Wayfair assembler or delivery driver but you should be aware that they are paid a below-average wage and many people will feel it is right to offer a tip of around $5 – $20 if the service is performed well.
Assemblers
If you choose the Wayfair assembly option then the work will be done by the company, Handy, a third party that specializes in furniture assembly among other “home gigs” like cleaning, TV mounting, wall hanging, and appliance installation. The work isn’t done by an employee of Wayfair. We’ve taken a look at Handy’s employees’ average earnings and have discovered these figures: They don’t list the hourly rate of an assembler but we suspect it will be similar to that of a house cleaner at $16.93...

A Wayfair delivery driver’s income is $18.04 per hour according to Indeed. This equates to a weekly income of $721.60 or $37,523.20 per annum.

It’s likely that most assemblers and delivery drivers won’t be expecting a tip but if you wish to offer one you’ll want a rough idea of what you should be handing over. It’s custom in the US to offer around 10-20% of the sale price of the service/goods. Given the assembly cost at Wayfair is going to cost you around $100 then we’d suggest $10-$20 is...
There will be certain factors you’ll want to take into account when deciding whether and how much to tip. We normally look for the following: 1. Whether the workmanship is good; 2. Whether the job was done on or in advance of time or for your delivery, whether it came at the allocated time; 3. Whether the assembler or driver was professional and po...
Whilst it is not customary to tip assemblers, we consider that most people will feel that it is warranted and that’s the same conclusion we reach when looking at whether to tip Amazon assemblers.
