(Formerly Handybook) just no showed for the second time this week so I'm done setting aside time to let them in. Don't bother. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tip-a-cleaning-service-also-handycom#post-2333210 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 19:24:41 +0000 catlady 2333210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Oh, that's a really good deal! Wow, I wish I had known that tip was included. I wonder if it was back then. I think we usually gave like $15 or $20 for a 3 hour cleaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tip-a-cleaning-service-also-handycom#post-2333209 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 19:19:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2333209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: how much did you tip? A percentage of what the total cost was supposed to be before coupon? And yeah, I don't like that it will just be different people. I'd prefer it be the same person so I would feel comfortable leaving while they are cleaning. But the coupon is for $29 for a 3 hour cleaning- can't beat that! I've read tip is included (like with uber) but if I'm only paying $29 I want to make sure the person actually cleaning is being fairly paid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tip-a-cleaning-service-also-handycom#post-2333204 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 19:14:17 +0000 catlady 2333204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: We used handy (I think it was called handybook back then) and had mixed results. I think we used them 6 times and only got someone we'd had before once, so 5 different people. A couple were really good (and I kept trying to get them again but it never scheduled them), a couple were so-so, and the last one we had was just awful. She was so bad that we cancelled and haven't gone back. So it's sort of luck of the draw. I say it was worth it with the coupon. We gave up after paying the full rate for awhile. Oh, and we always tipped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tip-a-cleaning-service-also-handycom#post-2333020 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 14:31:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 2333020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you use a cleaning service (not just a single person who comes and tells you their price and you pay them), you should also tip, right? We've only ever used an individual who sets their own price, so I just paid what they say. We have a service coming this week, and got a coupon in the mail, so it's really cheap. Trying to figure out what or if I should tip the person/people who come and clean. </p> <p>Also anyone ever used handy.com? We got their mailer and decided to try it out. I'll be home but still, anyone else we used was always a friend recommendation. </p>
