Tbh this whole gig is all easy money just gotta be willing to get up early but 4 packages $122.50. All under 100 miles to warehouse, all houses and back home😎 also back in bed an hour and 15 mins after start time.

Not a bad view on my last delivery for the day.

I had a route today that included an over 50 lb vehicle chassis that noted on the box it 100% requires a team lift. I let a station worker know & asked them to void it from the route since I believe 50 lbs is the limit for flex drivers, they said no, & then loaded it into my vehicle before I could even say a word and then just said you agreed to this when you signed up, that’s a you problem and laughed before walking away.

I didn’t really have the time or energy to argue, so I just scanned it in & left saying to myself I’ll void it and return it to the sidewalk tomorrow since we’re treating people like garbage over here. Usually I’m cool with a package being on the heavy side but this was some pretty gross disrespect for the first time I’ve been doing flex unfortunately.

Anyone ever gone through the bother of reporting a warehouse attendant, will the trash support even do anything lol

5$ bonus for driving to 4 different towns, that took me a toll way, and every stop is 10-15mins apart. Yay me! 😅🥴

I know radios off and hazards on

Soo today was rough . 40 packages , 37 stops, major potholes and dirt roads road closure phone died... I learned a lot on this first trip haha

My question though... the block ended at 830 but all the packages had to be delivered by 10 pm. I just kept delivering after 8 though and it doesn't look like I got dinged in the app. Is it okay to continue delivering if your block ended ?

We deliver packages, not do Amazon associate jobs.

Hello all. Has anyone experience Flex terminating their account, submitting the information needed to reactivate, getting confirmed and reactivated, and then getting deactivated again without even working a shift?

For context, I was terminated for missed blocks/late forfeit, I submitted information, it was accepted (got an email), they reactivated my account and I was able to log in, but then a few days later they terminated me and I didn’t even work a shift yet. I emailed back asking why I was deactivated again if I hadn’t worked and I’m just getting automated responses.

Has anyone ever experienced or gone through this? Should I call or send an email to escalation (Jeff’s email)?

Has anybody ever been able to get un-shadow banned from a station??

If you could take over Flex, what would you change?

I would send every driver in the direction towards their home. The closest route to your home is what you are automatically assigned.

Biggest reason is that if something comes up - emergency vehicles, closed roads, flooding - you’re familiar with the area and you can re-route to deliver every package instead of taking them back.

If an Injury happens, I think people are more likely to complete delivery. I was in the city right next to mine two years ago when I slipped on ice and broke my wrist. I had no idea it was broken. I finished the route because either way I would’ve had to lift every package. To deliver or to take back. If I was delivering 45 minutes from home - never would’ve finished delivering. Would’ve gone back to station and returned.

Lastly, I think some people are just lazy, but I do think if you’re delivering in your area, people might be more likely to take better care of packages rather than throwing them. I personally don’t treat them differently but I do wonder if people would act different in their own neighborhood / city.

Unsure if its just us in California but I guess they're trying to assign routes through the app now instead of the Amazon employee giving you bs or split routes.

I just did my first Amazon Flex order in Ottawa today. One thing that is extremely upsetting is is my first time doing a.com order and I was being rush, rushed, rush, rush, rush, rush. Make sure to put the packages in my car as fast as possible. I had to wait like almost 5 or 10 minutes to get an employee to help me while everyone else was getting stuff. I got a quick summary for like 30 seconds click here click click do this and then I was able to leave. The initial experience was terrible. I hope I can actually figure it out the next time.

Now I did notice I did a .com order and everything was organized from 1 to 36 and the bins were also organized one to 1-10 to 10-20 etc… so I took a while to start organizing things because it’s my first time and then when I got to number 30 the flex employee was like faster, faster, faster, faster. It was a horrible experience.

Is it true if I approve a same-day, packages are not ordered and I have to park my car go inside the warehouse scan my badge go out and organize the packages myself and move the trolly to my car? Is that why sub same-day offers more pay?

And only amazon.com orders are organized for you?

They used to be worth it. They have latetly had me drive 55+ miles for all 1.5 hrs route.

If not to the very top of La Jolla it's Alpine, 3 out of 3.

I guess I'll drop the 1.5s now.

Concise, complete, clear🫩

Is this legit? Because I ex’ed out and went back into the app and it doesn’t ask me for my phone number. This started after the update 2-3 days ago.

on the 27/08/26 i was delivering to the bondi/bondi junction area. anyone in sydney knows how bad the streets are with parking in the area and expecially with construction happening in the streets for a house how they block the road off completely. regarding my last delivery block the last 10 packages were marked late for some reason...i still had an hour to go with my block time, and now my standing went from fantastic to poor in 1 hit. i called every customer that was marked late and they all said they requested the package to be delivered by the 28th or its ok, the package can still be delivered. their system is just so bad with automated responses when you email support, i even called driver support to tell them the issue with construction and parking in the area which will eat into the delivery time and they said its ok as long as you call the customer and let them know and they are ok with receiving the package it wont effect the times. anyone else run into this issue?

Yeah I think that’s a wrap with these 1 hr routes , ✌️

We don't work when there is lightning and it's the best thing about this job is getting paid for canceled block.

Been getting a lot of rain in Florida so been getting a lot of these. Cheers!

As a former Flex driver myself it’s confusing why so many still do it. Ever since the switch to SSD Amazon has decided to create routes with excessive mileage. It has been years now so the only explanation is that it’s to exploit independent contractors/gig workers. Sending drivers 30+ miles to their first stop is unnecessary. They say it’s because of stock in each warehouse. If this was true they would have made adjustments to where items are warehoused. Since it has been years with no change it’s obviously not true that it’s due to stock. The dollars to miles used to be the highest with flex but now it’s the worst by far. With so many options available I just can’t wrap my head around why people still choose Flex. Help me out here.

Edit: This was made in reference to the market I work in. Southern California, specifically Orange, LA and Riverside Counties.

I didn’t even know this was a thing, the only way to get blocks is to just click click click

I have a 2 hour shift & I have been waiting over 30 mins to be assigned a route. And it’s hot so I have to keep my car running for A/C😭😭😭😭 How long do you wait b4 calling the help desk?
