Tipping delivery people

I am confused about tipping delivery people in Hong Kong. When I get a grocery delivery from Park N Shop or Wellcome, should I give the delivery person a tip? What about pizza person or other food delivery? How much should you tip?

whatever change you have really, I usually tip about $10 or so.

Some food delivery services put 10% service charge on, whereas some explicitly do not and say "please tip the driver". So the latter get a tip (maybe $20 or a little more if it's a big order) and the former don't.

I don't tip supermarket delivery drivers, not least because most often they deliver when I am out and just leave it outside the door (as requested).
