i just moved to nyc and was wondering.. are we expected to tip the delivery guy as you would the guy that brings over pizza? assuming that you dont really know the dude..
 
He probably gets a cut of what he brings to you. Or of what you pay to the dealer himself. You could offer to smoke some with him though, definitely
 
Dawg they run a professional operation there the runner is taken care of. think of all the people offerin them a smoke they would be ripped all day, and you know the famous rule dont get high on your own supply. it aint the same it aint really their supply i know, but its the same as far as smartness goes. you dont wanna have your runners busted cause they look high the last thing they want is to be associated w weed so I dont know how strict they are but it seems like no smokin on the job would be a good standard.

Now also why u aint gotta tip them. When the dealer comes to the door its different thats his choice to do it right go the extra mile for u, and he could choose not to so you help him out a little smoke with him. these cats are makin their money fine and they get discounts on the pradda. if you rally gotta find out for some reason why dont u just call the delivery service and ask the manager or somethin if youre supposed to tip their people.
 
My experience with weed deliver guys in NYC seems to be a bit different. My company here's how a transaction works: you call, they say "pick me at such and such a street", you pick them up a guy w/ messanger bag, he gives you the drug, you drop him off at such and such a destination.

End of transaction. No tip neccessary bc you gave him a ride he gave you drugs.
 
I lived in New York and used the delivery services that come to one's house. I lived in Manhattan, where few people own cars. No, it is not necessary to tip or smoke up the delivery guy/girl. They are well taken care of. Doesn't mean you can't be extra nice/grateful, but no, tipping is not customary.

I have never tipped anyone who brought weed over to my place, probably because they are the ones who are making the profit. I do sometimes get them high, but I think a lot of dealers just expect you to get them high... Greedy motherfuckers. :D
 
If I am lazy enough to buy from someone that delivers a high quality product for a sizeable differnce in street prices I would have no problem of tipping the guy as I would most likely be in a position wanting to get stoned pretty bad.
 
^ In New York City, particularly Manhattan, it's not a question of 'laziness' but more how the drug business operates. Before I moved there I had never heard of such a thing in my life. I'd had dealers who came to my house because they didn't want me to know where they lived or whatever, but in this case we're talking about literal delivery services. You page or call, get on the phone and say a couple code words, then in 30-45 minutes some kid with a backpack is hustling up your stairs and looking to do business 'not in front of the window' even if it's several stories up and facing a dark interior courtyard piled with garbage. I rarely saw the same deliveryperson more than twice. They all worked for centralized, larger services. None had other dayjobs. They had lots of fancy gear and were clearly doing fine. And during my years in NYC, I never met a dealer who did business the more traditional way. Everything was handled through runners and delivery services.

If you're getting 'a high quality product for a sizeable difference in street prices' - I presume you mean the weed would come cheaper than usual? - yeah, why not tip, I suppose (?), though I don't tip dealers just for giving me a good deal. And the delivery services I encountered sold at usual streetprice.

^^

they make profit on your back and they still want more profit?????????????I say fuck that, what a con!

Over here in Belgium it's different, there was a delivery service up untill a few months ago who would come with a car, pick one up, drive some circles and drop him off again.
but it's different over here because the profit on a €25 bag is only €5 if you buy per 25 gram(€100)and that's the absolute max, cause you can't underweigh, you can't put stemmy nugs in...
so that's not possible for smalltime dealers(gas,time,effort=money), even not for those who buy in 100gram/250 gram quantities. A kilo goes for around €3- €3.5/gram so that might be possible. Anyway the delivery guy still had 30 kg's lying around after he stopped buying new bud for 2 weeks(a driver got busted)
 
^ Just to clarify, there is not only one drug delivery service in New York City. There are many. Most just run pot, and that's all I ever bought there. The person from whom I sublet my apartment had also had experience with drug delivery services for LSD and ecstasy. I don't know if those delivery services also offered pot or other drugs, or just focused on one.

Some guys are full-service and some of them just sell weed and/or pills.

I had one guy that used to show up who was an actual supermarket, with the benzo aisle and the pill aisle and the weed aisle and the D and the C etc etc. One stop shopping. Not cheap but convenience has a price.

One guy used to show up as a car service. You would call and order a car, he would pull up in his town car with the smoked windows, drive you around the block and drop you off back home with your purchases.

Never tipped any of them.
 
Wow... I gotta find me one of these drug delivery supermarkets one of these days!
