China Delivery Notes Hacks With Tips | Generated by AI
In China, it’s fairly common to add little requests in the delivery notes (配送备注), especially if you give a small tip (like 5 RMB). Here are some practical things you could ask a delivery person to do:
1. Trash Help Ask them to take your household trash down to the community bin. This is very common—just write something like: “帮忙把垃圾带到楼下垃圾桶，给您5块，谢谢” (“Please help bring the trash downstairs to the bin, I’ll give you 5 RMB, thank you”).
2. Face-to-Face Delivery Tell them not to leave the package at the gate or parcel locker, but to meet you directly. For example: “请一定送到门口，当面交给我，不要放快递柜” (“Please deliver to my door, hand it to me directly, don’t leave it in the parcel locker”).
3. Extra Errands in the Complex If convenient, you can ask them to drop something off at the property office, security desk, or to a neighbor in the same building. A small tip helps here.
4. Beverage Requests When ordering coffee, milk tea, or similar, you can ask the rider to shake/mix gently, keep the drink upright, or even bring straws/napkins carefully. Some people add: “请注意不要倒，辛苦啦” (“Please keep it upright, thanks”).
5. Weather Considerations On rainy or very hot days, you can ask them to keep food in a shaded/covered area or call you before arrival so you can come down quickly.
💡 Tips for Wording in Notes (Chinese context):
- Keep it short and polite.
- Add “给您5块辛苦费” (“I’ll give you 5 RMB for your trouble”) if it’s beyond normal delivery.
- Always say “谢谢” to increase chances of compliance.
