I don't see a way to change the tip. Maybe it's after delivery when you rate the shopper's service? emmaverybo Apr 2020 #28

I checked my order and didn't see a way to do it either. Guess it's too late to change? 50 Shades Of Blue Apr 2020 #42

Well I think one can add but not take away the tip. Maybe it's different in a different state. emmaverybo Apr 2020 #66
