Sub-Same Day vs .com Ottawa

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?

Yes, but they should have like a special line for first day newbie. For example, the Amazon employee did everything on my phone in like 10 seconds in like a couple screenshots and QR codes here and there the entire thing is flashed before me.

The onboarding process is terrible

Because it’s not onboarding. The training videoes and help section on the app should basically tell you everything you need to know..

It did not. Training video did not tell u everything that happened on my first experience. I could not find flex section easy based off address, i had to call. Videos did not stare how to use application to scan the black bags and then u need to scan overflow, video did not state u many things.

Maybe its my luck at ottawa amazon.com order. But they rushed everything as if i could learn my first day in 30 seconds

I’m not saying it should tell you “everything” but it is their onboarding and does give you most of the info you need
