But it doesn't upset the recipient! (3)

I believe the answer is:

tip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'upset the recipient' is the definition.
'tip' can be an answer for 'upset' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not sure about the 'the recipient' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tip that I've seen before include "for writers, it may be felt" , "End; piece of advice" , "End; overbalance" , "single piece of asparagus, perhaps" , "Topple over - hint" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
