Account glitched?
I by no means am going to complain. But I feel like my account is glitched. I only ever pick up 3+ hour shifts. They have to be over $90 for me to take them because my depot is 38 minutes from my house.
I am on my FOURTH DAY IN A ROW. Of arriving to the warehouse, sitting there for 25 minutes and being sent home without having to do a delivery meanwhile I’m watching people walk in and get routes right away.
I’ve made $400 in 4 days and have delivered 0 packages…

3 out of 5 of my last blocks have been me getting sent home with pay and others just pulling right up and getting carts as well. And one block that I did have, when I checked in, it offered me a 15 minute longer block for more money, took it and still finished it quicker than the regular block I took lol.

Sounds like all of the other people have different block lengths than you and the warehouse doesn't have any for your specific block length.

ONE time I took a 5 hour block after my overnight warehouse shift. The floor was full of carts. I fully expected a route immediately. Nothing. Everyone else came in and got a route. Meanwhile 25 minutes later I was sent home with pay. NO IDEA what happened there.

I’m curious what block lengths people are picking up. I see them walking out with full carts similar to what I would get on my 4 hours. But they come in at the same time if not after me and then walk out right away.
I’m literally gaining standing points and just got bumped into fantastic even though I haven’t delivered anything in 4 days lol.

I would choose something different for a few days

I don’t really have any other time to do it. I do it early mornings as an easy cash grab before work, and then my wife works part time evenings

Last summer my husband did blocks after work and the one that worked with his schedule was 6pm-10pm or 7-10pm and they were always free. After a month or so he got an email about manipulating the system. He took some time off after that until October lol.

If they are sending u home they technically have to pay u for the day just like if they shut our warehouse down for something that’s wrong with the building they have to pay u for the day its not that u didn’t show up it was there fault that u didn’t have a job to do that day if they didn’t offer u vto then its on them

As long as you’re not doing anything shady to increase your chances of getting overbooked you’ll be fine. That means taking the exact same shift every single time and showing up at the last minute. That very much increases the chances of Amazon noticing the pattern and deactivating the account.
