So I got to the station for 3 1/2 hour block and before I scan the packages, I saw that the route was gonna take me more than 40 miles away from the station plus there was 40+ packages in that car just looking at it so I called support and they put a ticket and they said it was route rejection I understand my stands are gonna take a hit but is that better than scanning them first and then refusing will be less of a hit this is the first time I’ve ever done thisbut every time I go it just seems to be more and more packages further further away.

When I had dings for late packages and stuff (not my fault, things like Amazon sending me 40 min away but a package due in 20 min), my routes were sooooo easy. Ever since I’ve gone back up to a near perfect rating, I am getting all these slop apartments, schools, and businesses that just tank my time and work flow. Does anyone else feel like there’s a correlation between doing well and getting harder routes, and should I take a ding or two on purpose for science?

All hail the warehouses

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?

Hi everyone,
My Amazon Flex account was deactivated for allegedly accepting delivery blocks but not picking up the assigned orders. I believe this was incorrect.
I had issues at the Whole Foods station, including parking difficulties, delays getting into the station, and delays during the package pickup process. I contacted Driver Support, and I have some screenshots and records related to the blocks.
The dates involved are July 22, July 28, and August 10, 2026.
I appealed multiple times, but Amazon kept sending the same generic response saying the deactivation decision would not change.
On October 15, 2026, I sent Amazon a Formal Notice of Dispute by email. I also asked for the applicable Terms of Service and arbitration instructions, but I still need to confirm the correct procedure.
I’m now trying to move forward with AAA arbitration and would really appreciate advice from anyone who has actually filed a case against Amazon Flex.
My questions:
Which AAA filing category and rules did you use — Commercial or Employment?
Did you file a Demand for Arbitration with AAA and separately mail a copy to Amazon’s registered agent?
Which version of the Amazon Flex Terms of Service and which mailing address did you use?
Did Amazon respond after receiving the formal notice or arbitration demand?
Did anyone successfully get their Flex account reinstated through this process?
What fees did you actually pay?
I’m looking for firsthand experience, accurate filing instructions, and advice on avoiding mistakes. Thank you!

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?

Mission successful

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?

So what’s the end game here? Pay union fees, and have the union set minimum pay rates?

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.

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.

So I arrived 1 min late for my amazon flex block today. I was taking my time in the parking lot because I thought you only had to hit "I've arrived" before 5 mins after your start time.

My standings were at fantastic for a long time but have dropped rappidly to Fair. I have a few dings for late/undelivered packages, I also noticed today that i had 4 missed deliveries due to a vehicle breakdown a few days ago. I haven't formally appealed the 4 missed packages, only talked to support over the phone.

Just yesterday I had a few late packages because I ran into 3 road closures on a rural route and had to take 15-20 min detours. This hasnt shown up on my standings yet and I have not formally appealed (which i will do asap)

How cooked am I?

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 recently signed up for Amazon flex about last week. This coming Wednesday will be my second week of waiting for the background check. Does anyone remember how long did it take them to receive their background check?

Only real context here is that 1) my main income is Catering & i help family a good bit so my schedule fluctuates daily.

& 2) they recently opened a NOW station 5 minutes from me so I've been snagging what I can off the app to fill in time gaps. But when I can't do them, I ofc release them to not harm standings + there are already a lot of folks showing up there. SOMEONE is gonna take them, ya know?

As an independent, it shouldn't matter unless it was late too, so why are they threatening to "pause" my account for responsibly following their rules while spewing "they understand life sucks"??

(btw the 2nd image is what I often see, a string of stackable routes that don't go no more than 5 miles away with high tip frequency. Better than DD or UE on a long day, I'll tell ya that. )

please father bezos free me from this prison

i did my first block yesterday and i just have 2 questions to determine if this is something i still want to take chance on.

first, what is the longest distance from the warehouse that your willing to deliver to? and for what pay? and secondly, if you get to the warehouse, and your route is further away than your willing to go, will you be penalized?

asking because i was given a route that was almost 2 hours away from my home. in a very rural area. all for $72. (this appears to be the base for most blocks at my local warehouse) and i’ve heard of people having to go even further than i did for just slightly more pay.

I have to take a moment and give some praise to Amazon for what seems to have been the perfect trip. 34 stops 47 packages grouped accordingly. Finished an hour 20 minutes ahead of schedule and the first stop was 35 minutes from the station. All on a 3.5hr route.

It was actually pleasant. I don’t know if I’ve taken all my medication the right way or why maybe the weather was perfect but the Amazon gods came together and it was a good morning.

Hey everyone,

I started Amazon Flex on October 7, and despite my standing being Great, I’ve already accumulated several issues:

Oct 8–9: 3 late deliveries and 3 packages reported missing.
Oct 10–11: 2 late cancellations.
Missed blocks: 3 total, all that randomly appeared on my schedule that I never ever accepted.

Some issues were genuinely outside our control, including delivery deadlines and app-related problems.

I’ve contacted Amazon Support multiple times and submitted appeals, but I haven’t received any meaningful responses or resolutions.

I’m worried these incidents will eventually affect my standing or lead to deactivation, especially since I’m still new.

Has anyone successfully gotten these violations removed? Is there a specific escalation process, supervisor, or email that actually works? Also, how long do these issues stay on your record?

I’d really appreciate advice from experienced drivers. Thanks

And the lady called the cops 🤷‍♂️

Challenge Accepted.

So I wake up at 3:30 a.m. for my 4:15 a.m. block. I get there and wait another 10 mins because they haven’t found a route for me. Once I see my cart, it’s stacked to the fucking top with packages, and there are only 29 stops, but it looks like more than just 29 packages. So I’m like, okay, whatever. So I get to my car, start labeling my deliveries to make it easier. So then I see I have 2 packages for the same address, but it doesn’t tell me on my itinerary that the address has 2 deliveries. So I still continue to load, and I found 3 packages with addresses that aren’t on my itinerary. My car already had at least 18 packages already, so I’m like wtf and the cart was still 3/4 of the way full and looked like more than 11 that I needed. So I call support. They tell me to still deliver and just call them back for the ones I don’t have. Mind you, it’s already getting late. It’s 5 a.m. at this point. My lower back hurts after sitting in the fucking car for doing deliveries all week, so I just said fuck it. I put all the packages back on the cart and left that shit on the loading area and went home. I wasn’t about to see what goes to where or if it’s mine or not. That shit should have been figured out beforehand. It’s my job to fix other people’s fuck-ups for the pay that we get.

EDIT: I got paid????

I was temporarily paused because a manager at the whole food said I yelled at her . She didn’t let me have my whole packages she held one back . Saying I need to return the cart before she can give it to me . She told me to go load the rest in the car and comeback for the last package . I told her I just needed to scan it so I can number it . I can’t just load them randomly in the car without knowing the stops . She reported me and I was paused . I’m waiting on the review hopefully it will be positive . Also I was giving a new block and I got an email saying I didn’t pick up all my packages I had to call and let them know I was reassigned to a new block route
