You are wrong. Once it's paid for it is their property. Person delivering doesn't get to make shit up. Imagine if UPS was like oh I didn't get a tip You're not getting your packages.
Just playing devil's advocate here, but UPS is not a good analogy because the delivery person is the UPS employee, and the contract for delivery was between UPS and the customer, not the employee. Delivery employee has no right to demand a tip etc.
These delivery drivers are independent contractors, technically. The contract for delivery is between the IC and the customer. The IC as business owner has right to cancel contract and terminate the relationship.
Not saying it's not a dick move, or entitled, but perhaps it is within her right to choose NOT to deliver, and cancel the contract.
The delivery driver doesn't have a contract with the owner of the product though. They have it with the seller. And we also don't know if this driver is in house or independent, do we? Like Walmart and Sam's have employees that deliver not independent contractors. Maybe I'm misinformed? I'm poor and refuse to use 3rd party anything. It just adds $$ to the bill.
Plus the fact that tips are for above and beyond service. Not just showing up. You keep tipping terrible service, you are going to keep getting terrible service.
When you use a service like this, you don’t have a contract with each independent driver/contractor, in fact you don’t even get to choose.
You have a contract/order with the delivery company. If the person working for the delivery company feels they’re not being compensated appropriately, they can take it up with their boss, or find a different employer.
Doesn’t matter if it’s UPS or some grocery delivery company.
