Do you have to tip couriers? I never have. Seems to me that's what the postage charges are, payment for their service. It's not like you are paying for the package, and tipping him for bringing that package expediently.

I worked in the courier business for 15 years. Tips are not expected and extremely rare. I heard about one once in about 10,000,000 (yes 10 million) orders, and that was a pro basketball player who tipped the driver for carrying several pieces of furniture inside his apartment.

Dont tip the courier for delivering a check.
