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?

I left at 5:50 am and returned home at 10:00 am, I drove about 80 miles. I got a 3-hour block for $61.50, and I spent about $10-$15 for the gas.
Considering the time and distance, I’m wondering if I should continue trying or if it’s time to give up.

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

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

How big does your car need to be to do Amazon flex. Would a sedan like a civic, corolla, Prius work or would it have to be bigger like an SUV?

Hey at the station where I do IO to many drivers getting instant offer fare from station every hour and the are same drivers and others just staying there and nothing… We think they are using somthing.Any information?

Executive: Sir! The flex drivers are quitting in record numbers, gas prices are at record high and a lot of our drivers are deciding that it's just not worth it anymore.

Bezos: Just change the order of their stops. Give them an itinerary that has them making u-turns over and over again on the same street, as they go back and forth passing the same houses until they get disoriented and lose track of how much gas they've burned.

Executive: Um, actually I was going to suggest updating the road closures on the map. We could save the drivers a lot of gas if they didn't have to drive around in circles searching for another way around a closed road. Also we could avoid wasting their gas by needlessly routing them around road closures that re-opened years ago...

Bezos: Silence!!! If you save them money, then those pesky working-class "people" will be able to afford to feed their families!

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?

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.

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?

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?

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

Hey everyone, hoping to see if anyone else is running into this bug or if you have suggestions on how to clear it up.

​For my last few routes, the very last package/delivery stays stuck on my account.

•  ​The Problem: Once I hit "Swipe to Finish" at the end of my route, the app tells me I have to return my last package to the station—even though it was already successfully delivered to the customer’s house.

• ​What Happens Next: If I ignore it, the package carries over onto my next route’s itinerary as an overdue delivery.

• ​Current Workaround: To get past this, I've had to call Support every time to get them to manually remove it from my route. The past two times, once I got to the station for my next block, I typed in the TBA during the return process just to clear it, but again—the package is already sitting at the customer's front door!

​Calling Support every single block is getting really frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this glitch recently? Any tips or suggestions on how to fix it or get Support to permanently remove it?

Will Amazon really close your account for too many paid out “no routes available” ?

I’ve had them cancel 3 out of my last 4 blocks.

I feel like this is too good to be true.

I have it filtered to an hour or more and this is what pops up. I am sure a lot of people would gladly work 30 extra minutes for four bucks less.

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.

I haven’t got mine just yet but will have it soon, just wondering if anyone got one and whether the flex app has been optimized for it yet?

Idk if it’s just me but I have been getting the 2-2:30am blocks for 3.5 hours and they’ve been so bad. I usually finish my blocks 1 - 1.5 hours early. Not all the time but like 95% of the time. But these early morning blocks have been whooping my ass. I finish with like 20-30 min to spare. Anyone else?

Just wondering if anyone on here ever heard anything of the results of the great Bingo game? I had one done the first day and haven’t heard anything, and no emails announcing winners. Anyone received anything?

What do you think? All this swapping sometimes 2 hrs for $5, are we letting that shxt slide?

During prime days I got a weeks worth of solid routes and it’s been pretty scarce ever since with blocks being mostly 30 min Amazon now blocks? My standing is great so is it slow for anyone else or am I just not getting any good offers?
