Tipping to me is associated with a service provided that goes above and beyond the "normal expected". I don't see how people can be OK tipping a pizza guy a few bucks for bringing a pizza 45 minutes after ordering, but not feel a courier deserves a similar tip for bringing a package 2 hours after ordering. Heck, I tipped a bellhop $5 for pushing a cart with a few suitcases 30 feet (no stairs or elevators) at the last hotel I stayed at. Given the low threshold for "tips" in today's society, I think this level of courier service more than qualifies.
