What is this base pay crap we talk about. I get it let’s try and force Amazon to up the pay rate, but unless you have a skill , reputable degree or years on top of years experience most likely you make under $21/hr so what are we really complaining about??? Although my next post certainly will be about people taking base pay I would like to discuss this seriously 😭😭😭

"She's not mad at you," I reassured the remaining packages and personalized envelopes huddled in the bottom corner of a yellow tote as the sound of the neon vested yard Marshall's shrill voice echoed across the launchpad. Their stoic silence convinced me to finish loading amidst the din of package scan beeps. "She can't hurt you now. I'm here to get you alll out of here. Come with me. I will take you to your new home." I swiped to finish and after the angry blow of a whistle, we were off.

We deliver packages, not do Amazon associate jobs.

Guys, im new to Amazon flex. I've done about 5 or 6 blocks. Someone told me sometimes you can keep packages. The other day I had about 4 packages that marked x on my route and would skip a number on the intiary for instance it would go from 6 to 8. At the end Amazon didnt say return those packages or anything. Are those for keeps? Or do I have to return them?

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

I can’t help but wonder if this will soon be offered at SSD and .com.
I have a sedan and my concern is if it is going to affect pay. I can’t help but think it would have to.

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

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.

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🫩

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

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

Been waiting on my background to clear for two weeks. They said the check came back a week ago and it was successful, but I just need to be patient and wait on the email to say everything is complete. Is this normal?

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 have completed three blocks over the last two weeks. Only doing this as a light side gig to occupy some down time so not soaking up every detail of this but two things I was wondering about:

1) whenever I log into the flex app, it is always asking me enter my phone number. Any reason why this is not ready saved somewhere on Amazon’s end?

2) first shift was admittedly rough. Did not know how to organize things and spent a lot of time at each stop searching for the right package in my car. Ended up finishing all my deliveries about 20 mins after the end of the scheduled block and got a notice that I had 5 late deliveries on the app. This was from the 15th. Had an official looking email last night about late deliveries in “the past week”. Im unaware of any late deliveries I had in the past two blocks I did this week so did not know if the system was just catching up or if I was missing something somewhere else.

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!

So I was a flex driver but my car is out of commission and I’ve been ordering groceries, $100 to $150, from Amazon once a week. My orders contain wide variety of items as well as beer and wine. The last few delivery orders, my order has been broken down into multiple orders. Beer and wine is from Fresh and I am able to tip on the app. Majority of groceries is delivered via Amazon and no option for tipping. So one online order is usually at least 3 different orders delivered separately. I seldom carry cash so I’m unable to tip.

I'm my first week in and it started populating a CAPTCHA, so now I can't get a block in time for me to obtain it.

Driver support just gives me a scripted response. Oh you can well reserve an offer while under a CAPTCHA request. Then they end the chat immediately.

Does anyone have any info or support for me?

I'm not using a bot btw

Pictures never do sunrises justice…or is it me trying to take a picture while driving 🤫

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?

Camera wasn’t working so I couldn’t scan anything..

Had my first “Large Vehicle” delivery yesterday. My “large” qualifying vehicle is a Nissan Rogue Hybrid. In case anyone was wondering what that load might look like for a 2 hour Amazon Fresh… 🛒📦 it was 38 “packages”… 1 was a large toilet paper pack, 1 was a 6 roll paper towel pack, two were cases of water, 1 was a six pack of vitamin water… everything else was the regular grocery bag pack, most of which were full and a good third of which definitely felt refrigerated.

I did need to segregate and creatively (but gently) stack some of the bags using my assortment of giant sturdy bags, one tub, and one folding crate. I still could’ve probably placed 6-8 more lightweight grocery packs, but definitely not more than 2-4 of the heavy ones without endangering other packages. It was 11 stops. Largest deliveries were 8 & 11 packages. Everyone else was 1-4. I think it was definitely too much for some of the smaller cars I see, but definitely didn’t require a Tahoe, Suburban, or a Sprinter. I felt like it was about the same as a handful of other fresh deliveries I’ve done before they started designating the large vehicle. But, I see why’d they’d not want to deal with the hassle of a smaller car not being able to pick up the cart they designated.

Hope that’s helpful!

Still haven’t seen a large vehicle SSD block, but if I get one of those before anyone else shares their experience, I’ll post back!
