I think I heard somewhere that they can accept cash, but only up to $20.00, anything over that amount they are taxed for?.. Or something like that.. So I'm thinking 19.99 in a card?
Does anyone know the rules on this?

You are correct that they can accept gifts valued at no more than 20$. Below is a nice tipping guideline I posted last night. Happy Holidays!
"U.S. government regulations permit carriers to accept gifts worth up to $20 per occasion, not cash"

right for you- we are the masters, precise? nicely, perhaps the cats do no longer comprehend that, yet perhaps we are in a position to be a minimum of extra clever? I examine each and every of the solutions, and many of them have been precise- attempt some. I even have 6 cats and each has desperate despite if or no longer they are fascinated interior the Christmas tree. If desperate, they're going to get in it. We first tried putting very jingly adorns on the tree, so as that should alert us to return shoo them away, yet that have been given annoying interior the midst of the evening. Later we tried attaching gruesome plastic grocery bags to the decrease limbs, then aluminum foil- all of which they should have had a good snicker at. we've even tried the table actual theory- despite the fact that this is particularly akward with a 6 foot tree! Now, years of Christmases later, we firmly base the tree so it would not tip over, positioned breakable/powerful adorns up bigger and extra securely linked. we've developed a marginally traumatic noise to yell while they attempt to coach the tree right into a toy it quite is something like, "Aaaannnn!!" a minimum of it distracts them and makes us think of as quickly as lower back we are the masters, no longer the cats. Merry Christmas!

I read up on this on the Internet last week. I think I remember it saying you could tip them and anyone who does a personal service for you, like your hairdresser, whatever you think is appropriate. I tip my hairdresser all year long, so I don't feel a need to give her a special Christmas tip. As far as the postman is concerned, weekly we get neighbors' mail, so I feel no obligation to tip him. He is doing his job, albeit poorly, and getting paid for it. If he brings big packages that don't fit into my box, to my door, I figure that is just his job. I used to be a school teacher and I never got any tips, nor did I expect them, but I would say I did provide a great service! I don't tip my dentist or my doctor either! Bottom line, if you feel that the person goes out of their way to provide a quality service to you, give them what you feel they deserve, and you can afford. I think anything would be appreciated, but I vote for cash over a gift card. It is appreciated much more.

I think 20 bucks is a good amount.

They are out traipsing in the cold, I think a piece of a fruit cake and egg nog would be good.
