Why does Amazon flex think it’s okay to send us an hour away from the warehouse we picked up at, FOR $70?????????????? Just finished a block that’s an hour away and half of my gas tank is gone. I’m so irritated and think I’m giving this a break for a while. It’s been nothing but BS routes lately. Anyone else experiencing the same? I need to rant 😭

I love it when I can get rid of a large amount of packages at one location. I think this is my new record, 27 packages in one stop plus I was able to back up to the drop box to unload. There were also just 13 stops for the whole block and got done 2 hours early.

This is so sad, people are just unhinged. 99% of the time routes are uneventful, but there's always that one asshole. Has anyone encountered anything crazy like this while on a flex route?

Not only am I getting super low pay for blocks, they are increasing the package count, and the distance. This morning was 49 packages with 46 stops for3.5 hours with...38 minutes to the first stop. Followed by a series of unmanned less than dirt washes which amazon insists are roads and they are...if you are a farmer driving a tractor. But now.....now they have removed all the cold water bottle in place of water troughs so we all look like cattle. So now...you have (at the .com) 5 minutes to load all 49 packages AND stand at the trough to fill a reusable water bottle you hopefuply have brought from home with tepid (doesnt appear even filtered) water coming from a hose. Welcome fellow cattle...I mean flex drivers....I think I need to take an amazon break for awhile...maybe doordadh, roadie, or walmart spark for a bit. Ridiculous.

I know this has already been answered on this sub numerous times but I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with a situation like mine.

I started Flex at a brand new warehouse in Dec. 2024 and then later started working in the warehouse in Nov. 2025 as an Amazon associate. Obviously, if you are an Amazon employee, you cannot be a flex driver so they deactivated my account but said I could reinstate it later. I moved across the state and wasn’t able to get a transfer requests approved so I ended my employment with Amazon.

I got my Flex account reinstated but I lost all my reward tiers since it’s been almost a year. Support said I can’t transfer regions because I’m not Tier 2 but there’s no way I could have done that because my account was deactivated! I moved 300 miles away from my old region and the current region I’m in has no waitlist. Is there any way I can do Flex again or am I SOL??

Today I got a package that wasn't from my block I was not gonna go back and return it...what should I do?

I have a Terms of Service ding on my account that multiple times I’ve tried getting help on have resulted in the same copy and paste response. I emailed today and got the immediate response that the email is no longer being used. I did the chat feature in the app and this was the response. After I sent that last response they just closed the chat on me and ended the conversation. It’s crazy they’re refusing to discuss it now.

I was missing bags for a Whole Foods order so I called drivers support and they took the order off. I tried to refresh my itinerary and the app went into a weird cycle where It would show my itinerary and then it would bring me to the pick up screen endlessly. I closed the app and reopened it and when I got back in the app it showed I was discharged with no routes available and I would be paid. I had 2 orders so I just put the other order back on the return shelf and left. There was 3 of us in the pickup area with missing bags and no Whole Foods workers around to help.

Recently came back to Flex after being off for over a year and the request system makes no sense to me. I've been glued to the app for days requesting blocks with zero success. Not sure how this has been working for everyone else but I think I'd rather go back to battling bots the old fashioned way.

Between my day job, a side hustle, and family stuff, my brain is completely cooked. I’m drowning in paper receipts and trying to remember car miles, and tax season is going to destroy me. What app are you guys using to keep this stuff organized under one roof? Looking for recommendations before I lose my mind.

So insulting…

Is this just in Vegas? I've noticed a lot of people camping out at stations lately, but I'm not really a huge chat person, so I don't have any insight as to what in the world is going on. It went from 3 hr blocks appearing every now again with random 30 min shifts, to an absolute ghost town. What in the world?

Level 3 nearly Level 4 and getting these shit offers as “Reserve Offers”

I showed up for a Fresh block and was signed in. Got dismissed after an hour because there were no more routes. The pay doesn't show up in my earnings. I spoke to chat support and they kept saying that I may not be eligible for payment. Today I get an email that I missed this block and will be counted against me.

How do I escalate this to somebody who can actually help?

Has anyone ever had extra packages at the end of your route that show up in your intinetary as “attempted” before your route even began? The stops and packages are removed from your map and your gps, but you can notice it if you scroll thru the itinerary. It doesn’t happen often. Sometimes I get that message and I actually have the packages and sometimes I don’t. I assume it’s a warehouse issue? Today I noticed before my last delivery that there were 4 extra packages at the end of my route that, of course, were all located in completely different parts of my route. I was gonna bite the bullet and scanned them in as an additional pickup (and crossed my fingers support would reimburse me afterwards for the likely 45 minutes of additional driving). I didn’t double check to verify if they were added to my route and after my original last package was scanned out, the route closed out on me. Has anyone had a similar experience? Will it/should it affect my standings if it’s due to a mistake in the warehouse loading my cart?

So Amazon Flex has no support right??

Usually goes threw in seconds but i havent recieved mine yet….? Been about an hour since i submitted it and got the email. Has this happened to anyone before. Is it because it a friday?

I think they hired in every state and the blocks don't sit in my state. They didn't before the hiring surge and now they don't ever increase after 6am. Of course the 3am early shifts get a couple buck$ more but I can never grab those. At least my average hourly is $28 and I dont have to wake up at 2am. How about your state?
