U.S. Postal workers are not allowed to accept cash tips but you can still give your mail carrier a tip during the holidays.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Never give a cash tip to a postal worker. They are not allowed to accept cash.
Step2
Choose a small gift as a tip instead. Whatever gift you choose, it should not have a value of greater than $20.00
Step3
Some great gift ideas for mail carriers are hand or foot warmers, gifts of food, gift cards for local coffee shops or fast food restaurants, or something you made personally to show your appreciation.
Step4
Deliver your tip gift personally. This is the only way to make sure your regular mail carrier gets the gift. Sometimes substitute carriers will run routes especially during the holiday season.
Step5
A handwritten note of appreciation along with a tip is a nice touch.
