What does the deliveryman have to do with the fact that you are getting it for free?

Well according to this person 1 month subscription fee is customary so it would matter lol http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061202180501AAD25DI

After googling a bit, a lot of people actually tip monthly as well as once a year by holiday time. It's obviously up to your financial situation and preferences with tipping (a lot of people have strong opinions about tipping one way or the other) but I would also agree that $5 is on the low end.

Yes, every year! Our mailman is so nice and friendly, and we think it is the right thing to do. $20 and a thank you card is a pretty easy way to make someone happy and make a Kiddush Hashem!

That is very generous of you. I would suggest giving a gift card the next time. They should not be accepting cash.

I give a GC to our mailman.  He's great.

Standard tip in Israel is 12%

-1

It's the other way around. %10 is standard; %12 is mehadrin.
