15. No, they can't accept tips and it isn't appropriate

Tipping is for those people who do you a personal service... bartender, waiter, hairdresser, doorman, bellhop, exotic dancer, etc. These people do not get paid full salary and in some cases get no salary at all and depend on tips in order to make their salary... save your tips for those people.

The UPS delivery people carrying heavy packages isn't doing double duty - it's a job requirement for which they receive a full salary from their employer. Offering a tip may be insulting, and may also cause embarrassment since they have to refuse it.
