    Not a chance I'd do that! (Argos drivers) Where does tipping stop?

    We gave ours £20 each - they were excellent, really efficient, quick, helped us move an item out of the flat that we couldn’t leave but weren’t taking with us, and shifted two heavy sofas that we’d bought from the sellers of the house we moved to from one end of the ground floor to the other without a word of complaint. They absolutely deserved that tip!

    I think I tipped £20 each. (They did a great job, packed and moved with such efficiency)

     I wouldn't be tipping Argos or any other delivery such as yodel Amazon etc. 
    House moving it would be about £20 each.
