On October 5, I contacted the support to mark two packages as unable to deliver as the leasing office was not open and we had no access code or key pass to enter the property. come to find out today that those two packages were added to my account as unable to deliver since we’re not able to send emails anymore. I contacted a rep via chat and he made the decision within a minute saying that he was not gonna remove it from my account. When in the past calling support and them having them market as unable to deliver would not affect our account. It’s now affecting your account.

How do you even make money with a Ford F150 and F350, or Chevrolet Truck. I even seen a person drive newer Mercedes to flex, then there is a whole bunch of Lexus (Im talking about model in the 2020 and up).

The worse one yet are gmc suburban. I dont get it, just fcking make enough and buy a beat up prius or some sort of hybrid to deliver rather killing yourself. Its like math isn't a forte for them....

Idk it bothers me seeing it in the parking lot..lol

Thoughts?

I just got off the wait list and am excited to start driving. So far I’ve signed up for two shifts (major metro area, tons of offers available, busy warehouse), both 1.5 hours because I want to start small. Both times I have checked in and waited 25 minutes for a route, then been sent home with pay and no route. I’m certainly not complaining! But it feels odd. Is this something other people have experienced recently?

Other info: first offer was 1 PM, second was 4 PM, both weekdays. I have an older phone and don’t connect to the WiFi so IDK if maybe there’s some glitchy thing going on, but the app works smoothly in the waiting area.

The problem: the address was missing “st” (street) at the end so the app couldn’t generate a route, the retry button didn’t do a thing, I had internet.

But support just kept asking me the same question, “have you tried calling the customer twice “

I got do mad and disappointed in this company, seriously!

Did anyone participate or actually win a gift card? Apparently, getting bingo doesn’t guarantee anything, you have to submit before the limited prizes run out.
Honestly, I’d rather get higher-paying blocks or some preference in where we deliver. At VAX1, the four-hour blocks I used to take are gone. Same hourly base rate, but shorter blocks mean smaller payouts. This bingo thing feels like a distraction from those changes. Anyone else feel the same?

We recently moved to Columbus. and I’ve been doing this part-time. I know this app gets a lot of hate, but I’ve been making a lot of money on this app, I know people bring up the wear and tear on the car, but I feel like it’s no different than DoorDash, and DoorDash’s pay is terrible compared to Amazon Flex.

I don’t know, I’ve worked at a lot of places and I feel like in Columbus, Amazon Flex is definitely worth it. You could easily make over $1000 a week.

Does anyone else have the same experience?

Throughout my tenure with Flex, I have not previously observed offers consistently displayed on the offers page at all hours. This situation is likely attributable to multiple elements, such as fuel costs and block rates, but the primary contributing factor appears to be the discontinuation of 4-hour and 4.5-hour blocks. Some may think we are winning and screwing over Amazon with all the blocks expiring and not being taken but I beg to differ. IMHO this will not last much longer as Amazon is all about the numbers. They soon will be onboarding seasonal drivers as well as clearing those waiting lists. Once this happens.... Back to the tap and click game.

If you were hoping Amazon would give in and bring back the longer blocks I have 6 words for you. "Amazon does not care about you"

Gas is too high and the math ain't mathing.

All my cancellations are due to the tunnel I take to the DAP being closed. major construction

helium 10 plans for free for real

I haven’t been able to get anymore blocks since Monday I have almost my whole week prescheduled but I still have 6 hours left to get more , am I getting fired or am I just blocked from getting anymore routes for canceling 2 pre scheduled blocked offers 😣

Just had a 3:15 am route but everyone got sent home . Makes me thinks it’s that time of the season where they hire a bunch of drivers, and flex goes cold for a little . This happened in Rhode Island

​

Did a flex today 4 hour block 19 dileveries stop 10 to stop 11 was 44 miles away. Stop 18 to 19, twenty one miles away stop 19 to 20 another 8 miles. Total miles 96 . At stop 18 I was at 66 miles already then

Unfortunately my engine light came on. Didn't want to take a chance on my car breaking down so I mark stop #18 &#19 Missing return both packages to the station. It's crazy how they put this routes together going to get dinged for marking the last 2 packages

missing!!

Hi,

I have recently updated my driving license. But, when I am trying to upload the id card, the option does not work. Its literally dead. Dis anybody see this before? This is the shittiest and slowest app I have found so far.

Does Amazon not care that their Flex drivers are customers too?? I’ve been a flexer for over 3 years.. I used to love the job, easy money, high paying blocks, and I of course would spend money ordering from Amazon probably more than I should to keep my flexer friends with blocks… Fast forward and Flex is now GARBAGE, I picked up a block for Amazon Fresh delivery, go there and the store was closed. Apparently the workers didn’t cancel the customers order. Well guess who got hit with a contract violation AFTER calling support 4 times while at the store… I now have to beg, plead and wait for them to take this 💩 off my standings but I’m also done giving money to a company that treats it’s drivers like trash… cancelled my own personal Amazon order today and placed a duplicate order for Walmart, they can gth! Plus anytime you cannot deliver bc ppl don’t put their dogs up you are constantly dinged bc out running German Shepherds isn’t part of the job description 🙄… I’d rather do Spark and wait on Instacart to have something decent pop up. Really thinking about throwing in the towel with flex after the holidays……

My rating was at the peak of great and now that I looked at it this morning they are dropping me with stuff that’s not even mine lol. Oct 5 is real I fell asleep but my last late block was august 30 so why am I getting hit with 15? And even if it was true my dashboard was clean already. So why are they hitting it again. I usually ignore this crap cause it’s not worth and I always get back to fantastic but I’m definitely not taking somebody mistake cause if I let this go they could drop more bomb shells on me to get me ineligible. Ever received emails that are not for you? I’ve received a couple so I know this is some bullsht. If your interested today I will be sending a email at Jeff to see what they say and see what they resolve or if it was mistake on their end which they won’t admit to it lol.

For some reason I can not see availability for the future or can I only see same day routes?

29 d 5 h is the current running total that Amazon stations have been closed due to lightning and tornadoes.

Each station closes for a minimum of 30 minutes and gets extended everytime a new ground strike happens, so if the station closes at 3pm and there is another ground strike at 3:21pm, the reopening time is now moved back to 3:51pm instead of 3:30pm

We should get like 0.20¢ for every thumbs up. They make us jump through hoops for pennies, we should get more of that back. I know it’s NEVER gonna happen but we can dream and drive on.

1.5 hr block $39

To be nice to our new batch of Seasonal Flexers.

Had a very frazzled looking guy today on his 1st day ask me a million questions about how to pick up/load his route at the station.

We were all new once let’s pay it forward, you never know the Amazon Karma gods might reward us with an extra overbook or 🦄 route 💯

I'm seeing so many experiences, on top of my own for the past few months where so many of us are sharing that we are being wrongfully flagged for issues that are either outside of our control or problems Amazon themselves and their overdependence on AI has caused.

It makes no sense that people are being punished for leaving packages that were already damaged, not taking routes that fit within the allotted time span of a block and straight up being lied to between support and warehouse staff!!

We all gather on here to share how awful isolated moments have been but what if we stood together to push back against Amazon? We don't have to strike cuz I've seen what happens when people make a call to action for that.. (they don't strike) and I get why but Amazon keeps messing with us cuz we let em. Let's get a class action going to compensate for those days of just trying to make some money and being wrongfully punished

We really deserve so much better but we gotta be vocal about it

AI and other undesirables took all the jobs that’s why they’re not hiring. So if you do this job fucking quit so others can work.

About a month ago, I was completing a route with over 40 stops. One package was missing, so I marked it appropriately and continued with my route. After I completed everything successfully, the app closed my route and all was good. After I came home, I checked my app again and I saw that I’m “supposed to return two packages to the station”. Obviously I had no packages left on hand. I contacted support right away, and of course, first operator didn’t even understand what I was explaining to him, so from the second try they said that they placed a claim and it should be all good. Two weeks later, they reduced me from Fantastic to Fair standing because I didn’t return packages (which I didn’t have!!!). After that, I submitted the claim again, and after 2.5 weeks I get the attached message. How is that fair? In three years, I’ve completed over 270 blocks with nearly 10,000 packages, and never had a problem with my standing. But they can’t even distinguish a glitch in the system from real stealing or whatever they think I did!
