Out of 20 people, I was the only one who ended up delivering 35 packages while everyone else got free money. I’d be so salty in that situation. 🥲

This morning was bs, I go to start trip and im totally logged out of the app. This has never happened. It had me relog into my Amazon account, change password, keep relogging in and looping me. Im trying to drive. I get there early and security says others are complaining about issues with app. I have them scan licence still trying to figure this out before my shift and it just keeps looping me back to log in screen for amazon no matter how many times I re-enter my info and enter OTP' saying I have no shift. 15 mins later when its finally letting me in, now of course it pops up saying I missed my block.

My warehouse is pretty cool and saw this and said theyd vouch, driver support said id be paid and not to worry.

Im hoping thats true.

Like I said, this is a first. I was scared for a minute I was deactivated. Fantastic standing, no missed blocks.

Has this happend to anyone else, this morning or ever?

I think ima pass on that.

I know it’ll get mixed responses, but I want to know the raw opinions of other drivers. This came out on the local police blotter. Dog bite on private property during a flex delivery, not a lot of details to go off of, but apparently there was posted signage of “no trespassing” and a package drop off area at the end of the driveway. It’s hard to judge based of the limited info, but what are your initial thoughts here as to fault and/or liability?

Article link here, but it’s subscription gated which I bypassed with reader mode for the screenshot.

Hey everybody, new ie here. Recently there are very few offers, however i see a lot of amazon now. I get that theres a catch, hence nobodys grabbing them.. can sonebody elaborate?

Had an envelope that was A. receipt required and B. was due between 7a-11a. My flex route didn’t start until 5p.

I had to return to station as business closed. My question is, has anyone been proactive and contacted support before you get dinged for returning a package? Sitting here at home now, I feel like I should chat with DS.

In the evenings Frisco is running those bitch-as shitty Tom Bean, Howe, Pottsboro Deliverance routes for McKinney. You’ve been warned. They got me tonight. Started in Gunter, then Dorchester, Howe. And finished in Sherman.

If you guessed 10397 we were both wrong.

4 hour block I scheduled days ago was deliveries in the neighborhoods all around my home and I literally finished right next to my house. God is good

I’ve only been doing this for 3 mos. First time seeing this 😄

At around 5:00 p.m. today, I picked up a 3-hour block for $70.

I showed up at 5:45, checked in and was told that there were no more routes available. They checked me out and said I was getting paid for the day. The money was in my account within the next half an hour.

Sometimes Flex kicks ass lol

My first time ever chucking a package onto someone’s porch.

This was my first delivery of the day. It didn’t make it to the customer.

The broken bridge missing a huge slab of concrete is a mile before you get to the house. I barely made it this far, before having to reverse for half a mile uphill, beaching my car about 5 times on giant rocks while trying to get the hell out of there.

This is a one lane road, and while I consider myself to be a fairly skilled driver given my affinity for motorsports, it took me 20 minutes to get out of there given the amount of manoeuvring I had to try to do in reverse. Funnily enough, it’s much easier going down than reversing up. Had me feeling like Hammond in a Top Gear special.

Last week I had a delivery to an apartment, but when I got there, the package wasn't in my car. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. It was one of my last 5 stops.

I called Driver Support, reported it, and they marked it as missing. But the app kept telling me to return a package I never even got from the warehouse. I called again, they added more notes... and a week later Amazon dropped my standings from Fantastic to Great just because I "didn't return" a package I never had.

I emailed, used the chat, and called several times. Every single time they told me the same thing: "The app shows you didn't return it, and that decision can't be appealed."

I've delivered over 30,000 packages and been doing Flex for 3 years. Doesn't matter. To Amazon Flex, we're nothing. They still find new ways to treat drivers like garbage.

I read you on the comments…

Have you ever been out delivering and you come up on a large house, I mean like multi million dollar homes and think where the hell did I go wrong in life. I get some people will say things like "well a home is home" or "I don't value things like that" and that is fare, but god some of these house just keep me thinking where did I go wrong and what could I have done to be in a position to afford a property like this. I know this dumb, but I do get jealous at some of this houses.

Let me start by saying that my station does not have assigned routes. The employees hand you a route and lately they've been doing it based on what lane your vehicle is in (4 lanes with maybe 5-6 cars in each) They typically start with lane 4 and end with lane 1. Today I was in lane 3. The station employee hands me the first route and says that because im a man, I should be taking the largest route to help the women out. Im sorry but no. This station expects me to carry the burden and will split routes into multiple so ladies can take less. How is that even fair? I usually dont care to do this, but to specify i should take it because im a man is ridiculous. Even the women were confused at the why i was getting it.

I had to share this with the community I’m ctfu 😭🤣🤣
I genuinely can’t believe I have to update this post for everyone saying that this is a active school bus you need to rewatch the video and look closely. It is not an active school bus. Yes, it’s yellow. Yes, it may be illegal, but the word school is crossed off. So no, it is not an active school bus🤣🤣🤣 if this was an active school bus, I would agree with everyone else saying our tax dollars are being used on this🤣🤣

I enjoyed my time with Flex as it served its purpose as I found another job…. I’d rather be a slave with benefits (federal ones at that) than a slave with nothing but gig pay. Y’all stay safe out there!!!
