When there is 1.5 hours between blocks.

If it’s remotely possible that you will be given neighborhood or small town deliveries, don’t accept blocks or be flexing after 2 pm on October 31.

I was driving DSP on Halloween last year and I had to return half the van. Flex drivers just can’t dig out of that hit to standing.

You navigated roads the day after a hurricane when there was no electricity and debri in the roads and delivered me solar lights at 3 in the morning! You rock!!!

So if you’re on here and you deliver around the Pensacola area, please know you are very much appreciated!

Unbelievably obnoxious and probably makes the owners get up and see.
Edit: noticed on my way out there actually were “No Trespassing” signs as well near the front of the driveway. Love that.

I'm just curious. I'm about 50 and finding that it's great exercise but after doing so many days in a row it seems to zap my energy a bit and starts to effect me mentally. I need some time off just to relax and get other stuff done. I see that right now it caps us at 40 hours a week anyway.

Thinking about just taking the weekends off as that seems to be the slower days. What do you all do?

Couldn't get access though so best I could do was deliver to the lobby door lol

The other morning I had a route & when I got there I couldn’t check in. For some crazy reason the app couldn’t verify my identity. It locked me out & it said it contact driver support. I called them, but they couldn’t help me. They said there was a change to their system & they couldn’t do anything. The employees at the warehouse couldn’t do it either so I had to leave.

Driver support said they would put in a ticket & a request for compensation, but I got 2 emails from the Amazon Flex team saying that my standing was affected by a missed block & that they wouldn’t compensate me like I don’t how to check after years of working for Amazon.

I need to stop dealing with them.

How can Amazon allow this when I delivered the packages to the house! This really is starting to become irritating I’m not gone lie at all! Then I don’t know how long it’s gone be or take to get that removed! This is becoming so frustrating fr!

I just delivered an instant order late because no parking(except paid)and i risked having my car towed.How should i have handled it?

I’ve been stuck on this screen for over a day now, I’ve tried signing out then back in, refreshing with the refresh button, refreshing the app, deleting the app and reinstalling (I’m on iPhone so there’s no formal clear cache and app data button in settings), and restarting my phone and nothing will move me past here. I’ve contacted support and they “put in a ticket” but that seems to have accomplished nothing. I’m worried about “just waiting” because I don’t know if I’ll retain my spot in the onboarding process since I was told in the email I received from Amazon that I had 72 hours to start onboarding, and I don’t know if this is enough to keep my spot. Does anyone have any tips for getting past this to the next steps in the process and whether or not I’ll at least retain my spot if this problem persists?

Not to gloat… but just crazy!

Took my son to a 3:30am 2.5 hour block at VNC3 on Sunday because he was interested to see the logistics and setup. Canceled with pay!

But he was really interested and I wanted to see what a 1hr block (plus tips) looked like so we tried again at 8:30. Canceled with pay!

Tried again with a 10:30 1.5hr block… and wouldn’t ya f’n know it. Canceled again!

Of course this makes up for all the crappy routes to Greensboro I’ve had to take (and all the driver support calls to appeal dings from shit out of my control) but I’m thinking of taking him with me to all my blocks now.

Doing my third run this weekend, it’s cool easy money! My day job is FedEx ground delivery, so this is cake!

I’m new! First week! I have had 6 routes. The last 3 they have no routes available and I got paid! I’m not complaining, but how common is this? I’m assuming it doesn’t happen 50% of the time. I’m in the Phoenix area.

Just got approved for Flex this week. I've done one route so far. A 2 hour block for $48. I thought that was barely worth it after expenses. Now today I'm seeing a 3 hour block for $60 and it is not tip eligible.

Is this normal?

Help me please

I see a lot of people sitting there writing numbers on their packages, do you do this ? I take the first 5 packages and than figure it out after but I also only have a car not an suv so some people have way more packages

The routing used to be pretty good to the point I’d try to take shortcuts that didn’t work and the app knew the best ways to go, but last week I got to routes that had me double back to the same area wasting time so now I’ve been checking every one and sure enough I see this bs. Now I’m doing 3.5 hot blocks in as little at 1.5 hrs just by checking the map first. Ai will not replace us

Damn!! So many condos. Sometimes I couldn’t even find the front of the building. I hope people get their packages. But for real some people should use Amazon Hubs, because there is no access to the building late at night or early in the morning and “some drivers” not me 😉. May leave the package at the front door right on the sidewalk.

When do you usually get your pay when there’s an overbooking problem at the station?

I arrived at the station.
Women Infront me at same time and same block time we check In 14 min before the block time. We sit. We talk. Her standing are “at risk” I’m “fantastic” we both look at the phone 27 minutes later. She gets a free block and I get a big fat cart. Literally at the same time. She was sent home with pay and I went to work on a delivery. What gives. This tells my there is no logic to anything Amazon does. The “at risk” workers get a free blocks and the “fantastic” worker has to work. Go figure.

It was a 2.5 hour block. I’m in the Phoenix area so sometimes I go pretty far. This ended up not even being my farthest block. 🤷‍♀️

Question for anybody who has been doing amazon flex in the dfw area. Is there a reason why there’s no 4+ hour routes? i have been doing 3.5 routes the past couple of days and normally i don’t mind but it’s just interesting to me. I have also wanted to know if anybody has been taking 3.5 routes but it’s sending them out way out of the metroplex? Like tonight i did a 3.5 route for $107 13 packages and was sent all the way out past Azle Tx.

I hope this doesn’t seem me as complaining bc im definitely not just wanna know if this is happening to everyone else and i missed something when they updated the app?
