A grocery store nearby has a shopping/delivery service and I just placed a pretty LARGE order.

Does anyone know what an appropriate tip is for one of these shoppers? And is it on a
sliding scale of some sort when the amount of items rises?

2. I'd personally go with between $5 to $10

Depending on the volume of groceries they have to carry, the weather they are driving/delivering in, etc.

3. Whatever you can afford that comes from the heart

nothing else matters

4. I tend to tip $10.

5. I tip $5

for an order for 1-2 weeks of groceries for a single person. I live in a semi-rural area, though, not some place like NYC and not on an upper floor. They can also park like two minutes from my door.

6. Moot point. Union driver. Not allowed to take tips. One of his co-workers DID on the sly... took...

... a vacation and the manager filled in and was amazed at all the confused customers who
tried to tip him -- "because Billy took my tips".

Zero tolerance. Good job GONE on return.

Nice guy, the driver. Incredible system for keeping cold/frozen stuff separate from groceries
and keeping groceries separate from non-food items.
.
Asked him to place everything on the floor in the kitchen, cold stuff near the fridge.

Great job. I'll definitely be using this service again. They only have one store here and it's
about 1-2 miles from my house (though they deliver all over town).
.
They've provided this online service since 2006 and now keep 10 delivery trucks busy every
day (he did say that, other than a big daycare center, my order was by far the largest -- my
future orders will be about 20-25% of what todays was).
.
Orders have to be a minimum of $49.

Thanks for your help and insights.
