I've never done this before so please forgive my ignorance,
1) Is it mandatory to tip an independent provider on top of the donation?
2) When is it the right time to negotiate the donation?
3) Is it okay to ask a provider if they have an eccie account over the phone?
Once I found an etiquette guide on a provider's website, it was very informative on how to treat your provider and what to expect, if anyone has any reading material that they could refer me to please do post it, thank you.
