How much to put up shed?

Purchased a 2nd hand shed.
Paid deposit, agreed delivery date.
In text confirmed outstanding balance, thanked for offer to deliver & erect (person is a handyman I think?).
Also said: 'do you want something for delivery'. Reply: 'I'll leave that up to you' plus 4 wink faces. Its only 4miles but it will be 30mins time. Is £25 ok enough?

'I'll leave that up to you' plus 4 wink faces.
I would give him nothing. 🤢

@BeePot (surely not? I'm tired & very menopausal). My actual text was 'outstanding balance of x -do you need anything extra for putting it up?'

I would buy him a four pack of beer and say thanks - you don't send wink faces to anyone without a seriously pathetic meaning. He's a jerk but an erected shed is better than a flat pack.

Update (hardly fascinating but I hate it when people don't update)

In the end, like a wuss, I proferred £20 & said 'please buy yourself a beer'
He looked really quite offended. The lad with him said: 'spot on, thanks'.
So, someone was happy ! (& my new shed is useful, so I am too)
