on tipping your delivery guy
do you tip your weed delivery guy?
what's the etiquette on that?
it's kind of an awkward situation.
Drunken Revival, any advice?

Etiquette dictates that you at least invite him to smoke a bone.

Id tip a little bit. They're paid like normal delivery people as a set amount per run, so I'm sure theyd appreciate it.
-
well the unit cost is already higher, but i guess the delivery guy does take most of the risk.

You can always cut out the middle man and pick your weed at any local vender cart:

Let's see, usually you get like 2 grams for about $50 - $60, if in Manhattan. Brooklyn you may get a little more, maybe 3 grams, tops. Hence $17 - $30 a gram that they sell it for.
At the most a dealer will pay $350 - $400 an ounce, probably less if they are moving bulk. 28 grams per ounce, that's $12.50 - $14.50 per gram that they pay.
So the average $50 - $60 bag gets anywhere from $15 - $35 in profit. Depending if the weed delivery guy is the main dealer or just working for him and depending if they are in Manhattan or Brooklyn they definitely make quite a bit. -

I have three friends who are party-favor delivery men. They dont make $10 a run. -

Well, they should ask for more, someone is making off well. I know I wouldn't take a risk like that for less. -
Pot-flavored nut trucks? Is this the latest midtown snack craze?

I think they get tips occassionally, sometimes in the form of food haha. As in any industry, tipping is appreciated. -

solid analysis.
would expect the $350-$400 /oz estimate is high since they are moving some bulk but otherwise agree.MeredithB wrote: [quote=Carmen]I dont think they make $10... at all.

I get 2 for 50 or 3 for 70. if we take the low end number of 350/28 you get a dealer cost of 12.5 per unit. resulting in profit of 12.5 - 10.83 and decreasing as my purchase quantity increases.
at 5 for 110 his profit is 9.5 per gram. -
This thread is hilarious.

I hope KWAK isn't reading this thread. :cyclopsani:

Seriously, I met Vidro once. If I'd only know he was a god, I would have given him more respect.
-
My tip for the delivery guy is the same each time -
Don't get caught -
How about giving me a little respect, jeez. Vidro ain't got nothing on me.

I use a service in Brooklyn regularly but it seems not to use runner's so i figure they are doing o.k. without a tip with the profits already high (no pun intended). I live and work here so it is cheaper to deal with a Brooklyn WDS. If there is anyone else in the community who would feel comfortable exchanging numbers with me i have a solid connection to offer but really need a back-up who can deliver earlier than after 3pm.
Word's of wisdom Stacey.
