Aarons has shown my paid off accounts. But If you can avoid them do so. You pay out the rear for them. there are cheaper ways to build your credit.
I used Aarons many years ago when I was on a corporate training program that involved a series of short-term assignments in various cities, so the cost of renting was less than the cost and hassle of moving (and of course I knew I would never own any of the stuff). Later, in graduate school, I bought rental returns from an Aarons outlet but of course in that case there was no question of renting, I was merely buying used stuff for cash because it was cheap.
I put myself through college working at RAC. The cash and carry stuff was great. My first living room set was a 17 month old set that was due to come off of rent the following month. The couple had bought some new stuff and called me up to come pick it up. It was in a sitting room, and never got sat on. I was able to get sofa, loveseat, chair, cocktail table and two end tables for $125. It was faux leather and immaculate.

I never tipped any of the delivery guys when they came to our place.

I used to love when we would do cash and carry sales. I would make $100 a day in tips for delivering stuff. That sure came in handy, when I was a poor college student.

I'll tip the pizza guy super well. Sooner they come the more $$$ they get, but typically start at 20% or $5 whichever is greater.
With furniture delivery guys, it is their job. They will tell you beforehand that they will be there between 9 am and 5pm and typically push the 5pm envelope. There's no incentive on my end to reward them. Now if they confirm beforehand 9am to 5pm and I only have a finite time in the morning to accept their delivery and they go out of the way to help out, then I'll consider. But the two RAC deliveries I had I had to help them myself (didn't mind) and had to hook it up myself (washer/dryer & fridge).
Sorry, OP, for the TJ. Back to you.
