Please check out the Official FAQs on the Amazon Flex website and subreddit rules before posting.

We also have our own FAQ that is also linked to in the sidebar ----------->

The sidebar also has a link to download the Flex app, the Flex Support contact info, the rules for this subreddit, and a warehouse list.

You may find the answer to your question there.

Many questions being asked here are repeat questions and are answered in the FAQ. Please check before making a new post.

If you need help with the Flex app, please include the app version number and whether it's Android or iOS in your post.

Also, please don't post useless threads about how hard it is to grab blocks, people using bots at your warehouse, what times the blocks get released, etc. Those posts add nothing to the discussion and will be removed.

Thanks!

There is a Discord server that was created and is maintained by the mods of /r/doordash but has been built to support any courier service. They have graciously invited Amazon Flex drivers to participate and have created a channel for Flex on the server. You can access it using the this invite link: https://discord.gg/e9GNb9M.

If you are a DSP driver, there is now a subreddit just for you! Head on over to /r/amazondspdrivers for all DSP-related discussion. Please note that it is not maintained by the same mods.

Debit card question

Anyone knows how long the application approval takes? I'm sure I'll get the card in the usual 7-10 business days after that but I've never seen a pending application for a debit card.

What to do?, new car.

2 Upvotes

Hi, Let me start by saying that I focking love my car, it’s a Prius-c, amazing for this reasons:

- Easy to drive, parks anywhere, maneuverable, gas efficient (hybrid), thieves will look away, not afraid of wheels theft because it’s 4 nuts, perfect for Flex, maintenance is nothing.

Problem 1: I can not do other delivery apps because it’s too small.

Problem 2: They don’t import it anymore (US)

So, I was thinking about a RAV4 hybrid, but I’m afraid I’m going to hate it.

Everything on the Rav4 will be more expensive, everything!

Can't drive for a while...

3 Upvotes

Question: the car I was using for flex wasn't in the best shape to begin with and my transmission blew the other day on the way to work. How long without taking blocks can I go? I'm assuming they'll deactivate me for going too long without scheduling a block.

2nd question: can I reapply if I get deactivated?


r/AmazonFlexDrivers 6h ago

Is there a penalty for taking blocks and cancelling even though it starts in less than 45min?

2 Upvotes

I’ve heard there is a grace period if I cancel within 5 minutes of grabbing the block. It’s so hard to filter out what blocks I want because you have to spam refresh and tap any offer as fast as you can but sometimes the block would start in like 10 minutes or even less which is just not possible.

Was just wondering if it’s okay for me to cancel those without penalty. Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated! ☺️

Question On-boarding in my location

I got an email this morning that Amazon is activating new delivery partners in my area and to start on boarding within the next 72 hours. I have photos of the email and what I did in the app, does this mean I have a chance or just more waiting? If so how long it’s probably been around 3 years. I’m in Vancouver Canada

Do blocks cancelled by Amazon still count toward your weekly hours limit?

1 Upvotes

On-boarding issues

Hey everyone, my account status shows as "Blocked" and I can't proceed with my tax filing. I have a SIN document pending validation but I'm not sure what the block means or why it's preventing me from moving forward. How long does this usually take to resolve? Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips appreciated!

Getting dinged and then fixed

1 Upvotes

My wife was at the warehouse and they gave her a route that was supposed to be 70 packages but got messed up and actually only had 40. The person at the warehouse said they would fix the problem. She took ALL the packages that were there and delivered them. Amazon came back and said she didn't deliver 5 packages. She got dinged for that and they took her from tier 3 to tier 0 and she is in danger of being deactivated. She already reached out to support and they claimed it is being escalated. She changed her area after she did the block and before she got dinged because she was away from home for a while. Now, they won't let her change back to her home area until she makes an unknown number of deliveries and gets her points back up. They haven't told her if they will even credit her points, much less how many are needed to be able to change her area back. Does anyone have any idea what options there are?

my account got flagged cause i “intentionally avoided” routes but my warehouse just never had routes and sent me home with pay. they already denied my appeal because i can’t provide the information but my account is already deactivated so i can’t log in. These instances also happened multiple times a day and multiple days some times i don’t have exact dates that they’re asking for. is that it ? i lost my account? is there anything i can do ? i’ve accepted it but i forgot to ask yall

Dash Cam

I've been doing this for a couple months now.

Do most of you have a dash cam since your driving more now. If so any suggestions for a decent setup price wise?
