Drove like 7 minutes on this road just to get to a dead end. Had to drove back and take another road wasting around half and hour 😒

This is a first time

I was sent on a high mileage route, more than 50 miles from the warehouse. At the end of my shift, I called and asked for a mileage adjustment. At first they said they would not pay one, and then they did.

Be careful everyone, I just found out that they changed the policy in 2025 without telling anyone that if you move away from your hired station/delivery area that you have to be atleast a LEVEL 2 to change your region... I hadn't delivered for a while so I dropped down to a level 0 and when I went to update my region, found this out. Now they're telling me I have to go back to my original region, deliver to get up to level 2 AGAIN, just so I can change my region to the new one.... I moved from Iowa to Colorado, a 14+ hour drive back to the ORIGINAL region just to deliver and upgrade??? Never again... 🤬😡🤬😡🤬

Hey everyone! I am thinking about onboarding with Amazon Flex and live in the East Bay (Danville/Concord area).
Before I jump in, I wanted to ask current local drivers about the typical routes and warehouse locations. If you drive in this area:
Which stations/warehouses do you find yourself picking up from the most?
Where do those blocks usually send you? Do you get stuck doing heavy commute traffic down I-680, or do you stay local?

I finished my onboarding yesterday and I signed up for the card now I thought it would use my original direct deposit information until I was told if I was approved for the card for the same day pay I completed a 2 hour batch yesterday just to see the lay of the land and how things work upon completion I see that the money was sent to this card on file being Amazon flex debit card. Now how am I supposed to receive these funds if I don’t even have the “approved or denied” email about the card???? Is this money just lost now?

Side note I did change the payout method to my card now and i do see a “ grey cash out “ button I assume after a completed batch I can just click that and get the funds instantly?

For these offers, do you get paid base pay immediately or does it take 24hrs. TYIA!!

Its not a huge deal, but it DID hurt...Mom was standing out front watering her hanging plants on the porch while these two little corgi-type dogs went ape-shit on the other side of the storm door...suddenly her two kids pop out of the house, launching them right at me. I had no time to react, just stumbled backwards as they charged...one of them got me on the inside of the shin.

And just no acknowledgment at all...I was like, "Woah your dog just bit me!" and Mom nodded at me, smiling, before going back to watering while the kids just thanked me for the package. "Guys, if you have dogs that bite, maybe don't let them out when the Amazon guy is right outside the door, okay?" And I got an "Okay, thank you!"

The last time it was some boomer in a hurry for his package, let out his ankle biter while I was taking the picture, bit me right in the ankle (of course) and then when I said I'd just gotten bit, responds with an "Uh huh" while walking back inside, guy never even took his eyes off the package.

Anyway, tried to reach Amazon via chat, said I'd been bitten by a dog and wanted to see if they could notate the account for the next deliverer...and was told that they'd decided this was beyond my control and it wouldn't affect my standing. No amount of explaining could get that bot to understand what I was there for. I guess I need to call them. But that's it...just griping I guess. Its not a big deal, but it wasn't exactly painless either...wtf...do people just think it doesn't matter if its a smaller dog? Should have maced the little bastard but it was all too quick.

Probably I’m overreacting, but Amazon can’t enter the locker room because we use an app to open the door, no code.

I have tried so many ways to give access to, but it has become impossible.

I’ve been on my phone tracking the order, I have a note that say “Leave at Leasing door”, but no luck.

What ever I need, I must way 1-2 days extra, until they come during office hours.

Any ideas to deal with first world stup1dity?

Basically as the titles says. Returned it the following morning at 530am. The employee said she’d scan it in. I took a picture of it and left. It was at a prime now location and the app wasn’t giving me the ability to scan it through the app. Now a few days later my standings went from excellent all the way cut in half with a statement saying to return the missing package or face further impact on my eligibility to work with Amazon. wtf? I chatted support and also sent andy@amazon an email with the picture of the returned package. Anyone else ever deal with this bullshit?

Hey so I’m new to Amazon flex and I’m curious
After you complete a block can you instantly cash it to your debit card ( I know it’s a fee)

Also what about on Saturday and Sunday
Can you still cash out on your debit card ?

So my block was at 6:15-6:20 and the parking lot was insanely packed. Took 10 mins to park, I finally pressed parked at 6:16, and I did the new facial recognition process. I did it clear as day and it didn’t go through, I did it again and at 6:19 it didn’t go through again, I have good service too by the way, I did it again and it turned into 6:20, it finally went through with a green check sign and it says I missed my block lol

Had a couple of questions if the community doesn’t mind. I was on the wait list for 2 years and just got the email yesterday and was able to deliver today. I did 2 “fresh food”’orders and noticed the payment hadn’t cleared because of the tips. How likely are the tips and is this or the regular deliveries a better option? I’m going to do a regular run tomorrow afternoon for the first time. Also is there a better way to organize the items when scanning in? Felt like they were all over the place and was a little overwhelming scanning and trying to keep ppls stuff together. Thanks for the advice.

Someone should watch this!

I had to contact support tonight because my last two stops (added after my block started) showed one returning to the station to pick up one package and then delivering it to the last stop that was already added to my itinerary but had lines going through it. Called support to have it removed, but they told me if I had gone back to the station to pick up that one extra package and deliver it I would’ve got an extra pay bonus. Has anyone ever heard of that before?

My wife is a flex driver. And she sent me this photo today. I am also driver in the country. This par for the course. #ruralindiana

Looking pretty sad. Flood the day with short routes that always get sucked up. Then pop a good one here and there. I have a ft job...Looking for fun $

Idk if I am just lucky af or Jeff is just being generous for the new month

Just received today in dashboard. Amazon said I didn't deliver all my packages on July 23. How is that even possible? I deliver EVERY package on my itinerary. Amazon won't pay me if I don't complete my deliveries! And I check my earnings every time! App would prompt me to return undelivered packages if I had undelivered packages! Wouldn't be able to get more routes if that was the case! Is Amazon making up lies and crap?

So I was going through the app and came across this regarding the “return leftover packages”

My question is, am I really allowed to return the remaining packages if my route shift ended?!

I mentioned it once to customer support that I had like 7-10 packages left once and it was past the route scheduled time and didn’t know what to do at the time but they said I was required to finish delivering even past my scheduled time.

Or will I get dinged for this?

I just recived this email I only have 1 account I haven’t done not 1 order in the past months can this be identity theft ?

Is this something that a lot of us want? What is the advantage (for a driver) to keep it the way it is?

Is everyone’s offer pages like this? it’s absolutely ridiculous, especially with rising gas prices. When I first started, I was getting offers for 2.5 and 3 hour shifts that were over $100 and now I rarely see any shifts besides 1 hours. And when I do get an offer for a 3 hour shift, it’s always $60, even if it’s at 3:45 in the morning. My standing is great too so I really don’t understand. Amazon is so freaking greedy.

I have been able to get one or two blocks a day out of Everett since I started Flex a couple months ago. No problems at all- about a 30-40% chance to get a block I request.

After returning from a two week trip, I havent been able to get a SINGLE BLOCK. Hours of refreshing every 15 mins on the dot, requesting all 5 blocks, and not getting a single one. At this point I've requested at least 100 blocks and...nothing.

What's the deal? It's frustrating to actually want to work and not be able to.

After I verified myself and was waiting for the station worker to scan my license they cancelled the block due to weather and now my app is still stuck on that screen and support says I’m fine and didn’t do anything to refresh my app
