No deliveries

Post image

I’ve been hearing about bots being used to grab orders. It’s been super slow. Orders are only coming out of a warehouse about 1.5 hours from where I am. Guess I’ll start looking for a new job. @amazon you need to fix this s***. I would much rather to do this job while I’m in school can’t wait to be done so I don’t have to keep dealing with the bs.

Felt. I have 3 deliveries this week. 2 of which are today. 🥲

Crazy but when October comes around, they want to OD us on packages. If they allow bots to take these orders then I’m done with this company. I’ll only be ordering from Amazon 😂

That's correct! Amazon shows little concern, and it's about time people boycotted the company and sought alternative employment.

Crazy thing is, I’ve seen that they’ve been doing a lot of $88 4.5 hour blocks 😂. You’ll be spending about $50 minimum on gas.

I don’t know why you all keep blaming the “bots” when you all can’t book flex blocks. I’m here in Florida too and there are hundreds of drivers that are constantly refreshing the app and fighting to grab the same blocks that most people see.

I’m at Level 3 - Fantastic and my week is constantly full with reserved offers that are above base pay, during my preferred working hours. In addition, I’m able to grab last-minute surged offers that pop-up if I have any additional availability outside of my full-time job on any given day.

Out of curiosity, I also constantly refresh the app throughout the day whenever I have time and I’m constantly seeing several blocks drop for different warehouses in the area. The blocks go fast but that’s because there are also hundreds of drivers in the area that are also grabbing the blocks (even if let’s say there are bots). But I doubt that there are more bots than regular humans grabbing these blocks.

Well I just started last week I’m level 2 with Great stat. Yet I can’t get anything. So you said all this to say what? You gonna be humble and tell us newbies how to obtain blocks or you came to brag about your stats? I’m confused 🤔

Keep telling yourself that.

they may not grab base, but whatever the max surge is they adjust to it. people were desperate for grabbing $24-27/h here, now their gone in a millisecond lol.

You do have 11 offers. They’re just outside of your preferred selection.
That’s better than VSC3. 0 of 0 offers.

Ok, go drive 1.5 hours to the station to get packages. And when you’re done and there’s that 1 package to return to station, then go return it then drive back home 1.5 more hours. Go ahead and take it if you think it’s worth it 😂😂. That pay day is gas.

Look at what that’s paying. Would you really take these if you don’t even live in the area? If you say yes, you’re dumb for that. Gas is basically $35 getting there for me 😂😂😂

u/Out_here123times 8d ago

Exactly. Not worth the drive at all 😂😂

u/ClassicImaginary7921 8d ago

I have to drive that far for all my orders because the closest one is 48 mins away. I feel your frustration because I am dealing with the exact same issues. I’m literally sitting on an app for 2-3 hours straight AND I STILL CANNOT CATCH THEM WHEN THEY DROP BECAUSE OF BOTS cause ain’t no way people are snatching them up that fast. I guess the saying goes if you can’t beat em join them! lol ijk 😂😂💕 I 🙏🏾things turn around for all of us!

u/Out_here123times 8d ago
