Do I Need To Pay For The Delivery Fee And Tip As Well??
13 Answers
I promised to compensate a friend in NY for furniture pieces that I ruined. Then he tells me that I owe him 'this-many-dollars' which include not just the price of the product itself but also delivery fee and tips. Is he being reasonable or not?

This is a UK-based site, so civil law here might be different to where you are. So we can't give you a definitive legal answer here.
However a general principle, both in civil law (worldwide, to the best of my knowledge) and in society as a whole is that, if you cause damage to someone else's property, you are liable for the full costs of putting matters right. As I see it therefore, you most definitely should be bearing the carriage costs.

I appreciate all of you for the answers. And just to make sure - the fact that he's used the pieces as well long before I came along doesn't change anything? Does this mean I don't even get to ask him to bear half of the costs (delivery fee and tip)? Also technically, he set the price for the tips and I had nothing to do with it.
