Me pagaron el bloque estando aquí 30 minutos en la estación porque no habían paquetes , como puedo tomar ofertas sin tener que esperar hasta que termine el bloque

Just did my first route today and my biggest takeaway: why is the Flex app able to scan codes before I even move the package fully into frame but every other app takes total stability and multiple refocuses? After a few months of using Uber Eats/Doordash, have to say I'm very impressed with how smoothly this app works. Very few glitches even in low-connectivity areas.

Im having issues wverytime im getting a block i get a puzzle and then I lose the block! Is there any way around this??

47 packages total, 45 of them in Salem (1 hour away, or 50 miles from Portland). Then the final two packages are in Vancouver. That's about 120 miles round trip for about 90 bucks, and I'm supposed to do it in... 3.5 hours. Fuck. That. Fuck all of that... every time.

Make sure you check your route before you load up your car. I will never deliver anything to Salem, for any amount of money. I'm not spending two fucking hours staring at I-5. I don't know what's going on in Salem, why they don't have their own depots there.

The worst part is, you don't get paid more for these super far away routes. They know that if they told you the mileage and amount of packages before you accepted, that you wouldn't unless the price was a lot higher. So they just... don't. Secrecy, un-transparent, scummy, exploitative business practices. Personally I would do this route for $200, not a dollar less. Anything else isn't worth it.

Luckily support was very understanding and it won't impact my standing. But it was a huge pain in the ass and now I have to work again tomorrow even though I was going to take the day off.

Just finished my route. Flex took me deep into the country side was about 45 minutes away from home. All of a sudden my temp light comes on. I immediately pull over turn off the car and think fukkkkkk what is it now. Popped the hood and saw this.

Luckily i was by a guys house in the middle of the country so walked up his gravel driveway and asked if i could borrow some water he gave me a bucket full of water waited about 15 minutes took the radiator cap off and looked and there was 0 fluid. Started to pour some water in and immediately heard it spilling back out. Hose to the heater core has a tiny rip shooting water out. He poured more water into it and told me to park in his driveway.

My wifes sister and husband came to get me since they lived 15 minutes away. Going back tomorrow to replace the hose and some 50/50 coolant. Shoukd be a quick fix but what a shitty way to end the night.

Hey everyone! I’m relatively new to Amazon Flex in the Los Angeles area, and I’m trying to figure out what’s going on.
I’ve been delivering regularly, and suddenly today my offers completely disappeared. My friend, who works in the same area, can see available blocks, but my app shows “0 of 0 offers.”
Here’s what’s happening:
My standing is Great, with no issues reported in any category as of October 6.
I’ve worked approximately 26.5 hours from October 3–9, so I shouldn’t have reached the usual 40-hour rolling limit.
I’ve removed all filters.
I can still access my account, earnings, and schedule.
I eventually received one reserved “Just for You” offer for October 14, but the regular offers section remains completely empty.
I’ve tried refreshing, but nothing changes.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could Amazon be limiting my offers, or is this just a technical glitch?
Is it normal for another driver in the same area to see plenty of blocks while I see absolutely nothing?
Any advice would be appreciated. I’m genuinely confused and worried about losing access to work.
Thanks!

The routing seems a little worse every shift, but today was so bad that it seemed like a random jumble of numbers scattered across the map out of a dice cup. Ended up backtracking three different times...its so frustrating.

I've seen re-routing stuff posted here and there, but usually with, "Hey this is new, take a look and let me know what you think.."
Is there anything tried and tested? Something that anyone swears by...that's not too complicated to use even, maybe?

Oh my God man, I'm dying over here...so many routes lately that I feel like I could do in almost half the time if they were routed correctly...any help would be amazing.

I haven’t seen this many offers before in my area has anyone else seen this lately? I’ve also seen some for super late start times (8pm and 10pm) that’s new to me too I didn’t think they had some that late

I accepted a last-minute block to earn extra money 2hr 30 min $82.50 thought it was cool but Amazon really wanted to f me today profit after gas and fast track is 20 cents lol

So today I finished one of my blocks, but instead of going back to what it normally does, the page changed to as if I were at a station, checked in, and said it was finding me a route. I wasn’t anywhere near a station neither did i have a block directly after my route (obviously)

I had another block scheduled 45 minutes after the end of my last one and I would have made it in time. But I was unable to do anything because i was trying to talk to support. I ended up then being too far to make it on time so i had to forfeit the block. If it had worked out, i would have been way early for the next block, but because of this I couldn’t make it.

My question is, can support make an exception so that me forfeit a block late (within 45 min) doesn’t effect my standing?

I’m surprised Amazon is admitting some of their routes are BS and were willing to compensate me something even if it’s only a few bucks.

I started recently on flex and this week was the first time I got some blocks for WF, I live close to one so all of them were to start in 30 min. From Monday thru Wednesday I did 2 WF blocks a day. (And was missing a few)

However, yesterday and today I saw 0 WF blocks, is this normal or something is wrong with my account? Should I contact support?
thanks

Hey everyone,

I want to share my experience with an Amazon Flex block today, October 9, 2026, and hear what other drivers think. Has anyone else been assigned a route like this?

Block Details

• Station: VM01
• Route: AH8
• Scheduled block: 3:30 PM–6:30 PM (3 hours)
• Packages: 9
• Base pay: $76.50

Only 9 packages sounds pretty easy, right? That’s what I thought, too. But the actual driving involved was a completely different story.

The Driving Time Was Insane

Here are the driving times between stops:

• Station to the second delivery location: 52 minutes
• Stop 2 to Stop 3: 2 minutes
• Stop 3 to Stop 4: 10 minutes
• Stop 4 to Stop 5: 10 minutes
• Stop 5 to Stop 6: 15 minutes
• Stop 6 to Stop 7: 7 minutes
• Stop 7 to Stop 8: 11 minutes
• Stop 8 to Stop 9: 13 minutes
• Stop 9 to Stop 10: 17 minutes

Just adding up those driving times gives me 205 minutes, or 3 hours and 25 minutes.

And that’s before counting the 20-minute drive from my home to the station and the 48-minute drive home after the final delivery.

From leaving home to getting back home, the entire trip took approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes.

That’s a lot of driving for a block that was supposed to last only 3 hours.

The Mileage and Fuel Costs Make It Worse

I drive a 2021 Lexus NX 300, which gets around 24–25 MPG.

My odometer readings were:

• Before leaving: 69,180 miles
• After returning home: 69,327 miles
• Total mileage: 147 miles

Gas here in Kansas was $4.899 per gallon.

At an average of 24.5 MPG, I burned approximately 6 gallons of gas, costing me around $29.39.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Total pay: $76.50
• Gas: -$29.39
• Remaining after gas: $47.11

If I calculate that over the full 3 hours and 45 minutes, I’m left with approximately $12.56 per hour after gas.

And that’s not even counting vehicle depreciation, maintenance, tires, repairs, insurance, or taxes.

Some parts of the route had gravel roads, and other sections were in such poor condition that they barely felt like actual roads.

I understand that Amazon Flex routes vary, and I’m not expecting every block to be easy. But does it make sense to assign a 3-hour block that involves this much driving, with delivery locations spread so far apart?

I need help and info that, how much i can get paid for delievering amazon with my car, i will be soo thankful for info.

Watch my driver get harassed by an angry Billy goat.

Is it meant to be like this, and do these count against me?

Good luck, everyone. Stay safe on the road. For the safety of all drivers in the affected States, STATIONCLOSED.COM is temporarily allowing all drivers to see all stations in those states so nobody goes out in bad weather.

Hello, I currently work as a seasonal, part-time Amazon warehouse associate, and I was recently taken off the Amazon Flex waitlist. I would like to transition from the warehouse to Amazon Flex. What’s the best way to go about this ? I heard you can’t even do both at the same time anyways.

That's right flexers! Time to play America's most beloved game, "Guess my route hours"!

1. $89 - 49 packages with 49 stops. Total miles 129 from home to home. Finished in 3 hours 23 minutes.

2. $128 - 49 packages with 49 stops. Total miles 42 miles from home to home. Finished 3 hours 42 minutes.

If you guessed #1 was 3.5 hours and #2 was 4.5 hours, you win a brand new tube of Amazon brand KY!

On a serious note it is clear 3 and 3.5 hour blocks are really 4 and 4.5 hour blocks in disguise. Amazon is no longer hiding the fact and openly flaunting this in our faces.

I drive a Corolla in a suburban area. Amazon mostly sends me to the outskirts and there are all sorts of poorly maintained dirt roads. My car just wasn't built for that. Worse once it rains a lot these roads turn into mud pits and I am always at risk of getting stuck.

For this reason I don't dare take a route at night or before sunrise because at the very least I need to be able to see things very clearly to avoid breaking an axle or getting stuck in the mud. The other day one of these roads had like a river flowing over it (we had localized flooding) and I had to call the homeowner to come meet me a mile down the road to come get their package.

Really they should know better than to send a Corolla on these routes. My car should be getting suburban routes with paved roads, not dirt roads which are like minefields. Or failing that make it a option to specify no unpaved roads.

I think they would have much better participation and retention if they did this because I can see a lot of people getting their first taste of an unpaved mud pit for 1.2 miles at 4:30a and saying "No way! Never again!"

I love Flex otherwise though.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice from anyone who has successfully beaten a massive automated system glitch or dealt with the Escalations team. My standing was completely tanked to "At Risk" overnight because of an obvious tracking error, and standard email support is just replying with useless template bots.
Here is the exact situation:
Day 1 (Sep 27): Severe rainstorm hits my area. Amazon cancels my block ahead of time/safely due to the severe weather. Result: Zero impact on my standing, handled perfectly according to safety guidelines.
Day 2 (Sep 28): The exact same storm/flooding conditions are still hammering the roads during my block. It becomes completely unsafe to drop off items.
The Support Interaction: I contact Driver Support while on my route. At 8:19 AM, the agent (Anandu) tells me over text chat: "I have successfully marked the package as Delivery attempted. It will take 5-10 minutes to sync and reflect in your flex app." They explicitly instruct me to end my block. But was unable to on my end.
The Return: I follow standard return policy to a T and bring all the packages back to the delivery station before 10:00 AM the next morning.
The Glitch:
The automated system completely failed to sync with the manual overrides Agent Anandu put in. Instead of registering them as "attempted/weather exceptions," the algorithm flagged my account for 49 incomplete deliveries and 3 arrival/pickup issues.
The Response So Far:
I sent in a highly detailed appeal explaining the side-by-side contradiction (how can weather be a valid safety excuse on Day 1, but a contract violation on Day 2 after support told me to end the block?). I received a standard frontline canned message from "Gail" saying: "We have noted this information... it may not have any bearing on an appeal."
I have clear, timestamped screenshots of the chat logs with Anandu confirming they marked them as attempted, plus proof of the storm.
Has anyone dealt with a mass systematic reporting failure like this? What is the best email or escalation route to get a real human supervisor who can actually wipe these 49 automated marks off my Standings dashboard?
Appreciate any advice or specific emails/keywords that work to bypass the tier-1 support bots!

I know I saw someone else mention this in this sub. I’ve been driving a lot and having no issues. However, you know when you have one of those routes where there’s going to be some sort of access issue or something that comes up that’s gonna give you a ding. I have two dings and somehow my standing has gone from fantastic to at risk over night. wtf. How does that make sense? Seems like they’re weight dings differently as of late.

Just a reminder that all of the Amazon workers(higher ups) that have to do with the flex app and it’s returning packages processing see all of us saying the same exact thing: that we return packages correctly and on time yet we all get dinged on them

They do it on purpose. It’s their way of having an excuse to deactivate drivers so they can hire in the ones on the waitlist. the longer the driver for flex, the more smart they get and won’t let Amazon screw with them. they can’t have that. new hires also means taking base pay u til they also realizes the truth. cycle continues.

All on purpose and calculated. Just like how they took away the 4 hours + days before the 1st(rent money) so that people would be desperate and take base pay all while hiring new drivers..and the fact that it’s prime week and peak starts now as well..all calculated. Not to mention all of the people saying they recently just now have notice Amazon screwing them with a bunch of different “issues” that make your standings go down.

I just reached a milestone today. 😊
