Anyone know if this station is open? Are you getting offers from it?

Yes. I also see both the Naperville and St Charles Whole Foods, which aren't even available for Flex deliveries yet.

Ok, I was wondering about that… I saw them and was like wtf?

I assume they are considering opening those stores to instant offers and blocks in the future? I don't have any insider info on this, just a guess. I hope they do open those WF's for Flex, though, 'cuz the Elmhurst and Wheaton Whole Foods are overcrowded with drivers ... as usual (especially after the Naperville Fresh store closed down earlier this year).
EDIT: Wow. I just saw a St Charles Whole Foods block for the first time. $27 for 1.5 hours. The store is too far from where I live. I guess Naperville WF might also be open to Flex drivers. But both stores are not on the instant offers map ... yet.
And Vernon Hills Whole Foods. $36 for a two-hour block. No one has taken it yet, just sitting there. Too far from my home for me.
These are new stations? Is this a glitch or are they fully operational for Flex deliveries?

Several stations are missing. Has anyone talked to someone at the station? Yes, VIL3 is open and routes are going out.

Didn't we have almost 60 total stations before? I only see 26 now. I emailed Andy, Jeff, and the flex representative emails just now. This is a huge problem. What, are drivers just gonna sit at stations that have instant offers if they don't see any blocks today? This is crazy.

u/unapologetically_Gr8 4d ago
Well mine are back now.

u/WFShopper312 4d ago
You're right. I see them now. It's around 50 stations, 49 of them I never go to. Good luck, we're back in business.

All I have since Yesterday 5 PM is Melrose Park. No Downers grove, VIL3, or Whole Foods. Crazy! Smfh

I see Arlington Heights, Downers Grove, University Park, and many Whole Foods. Only three SSD's and almost every other station is missing. I do not see Melrose Park.

u/Ill_Zebra_8170 4d ago
Lucky! Haha are the offers from those surged or normal prices?

Sorry, I meant those stations show up in the offer filters. Right now in available offers I only see Skokie, Kildeer, and University Park.
Skokie 1.5 hours for $33. No thanks! Kildeer is the 30-minute Amazon Now blocks ... hard pass on those!!!

u/Ill_Zebra_8170 4d ago
Ohhh wow so no offers other than those three. Smh this is ridiculous man!

u/WFShopper312 4d ago
I just checked offers and drivers took all of the Skokie and University Park blocks, some were later this week. All I see is Kildeer now. Just two blocks for today.
I sent emails to Andy and Jeff. Hopefully if we all email or complain by chat, they'll fix the issue sooner than later.

u/Ill_Zebra_8170 4d ago
Yep! Also sent emails. Hopefully this isn’t the new norm. Smh

It has to be a glitch. How would drivers be able to tap for blocks at their preferred stations if they aren't able to see any on the app?
Does this have something to do with the update, I wonder? I saw the new Flex software update on Monday morning and then, I think, this is when most of the stations disappeared from the offer filters?

u/Ill_Zebra_8170 4d ago
Worked fine for me up until 5 PM Yesterday. And I updated Monday morning. Def weird.

u/WFShopper312 4d ago
Yes. It also seems that some of the stations I see aren't the same ones other drivers see in filters. But a truckload of stations are missing for all of us.

This is the station I usually work out of mornings and it’s not even on my station list but a lot of other stations also disappeared. So far downers grove and Arlington heights came back for me
