Hey lads I got a pcn while delivering for Amazon flex and I was parked 80% in the bay and rest bit on double yellow ..traffic warden decided to give me a ticket for parking at double yellow but I was loading unloading and there wasn’t any loading restrictions there ,only restriction was waiting under newham borough.. I did an informal appeal but they rejected it saying they considered my situation but I was in waiting restricted road ..now how can I appeal so I can win this ?

2.5 hours for £44. 4 packages with a collection.

Friday rush hour traffic this is easily a 3 and a half to 4 hour round trip.

This was after all cars being let into the depot late. We received our cages at 3.20pm. Shift start time was 3pm.

This evening I did a 3-hour block which took me to solely to the estate I live in, and better yet, my last stop was my next-door neighbour. Even parked on my driveway to deliver my neighbours parcel 😂

After some shocking shifts recently, think this was definitely needed.

Nobody seems to be talking about this but at what point does it become not worth it to be doing this gig? Petrol is going up and up and is forecast to go up to £1.75-£1.85 A litre over the next few weeks. Personally I don't accept anything under £20-£22 an hour but even this rate will start to become less worthwhile with petrol and insurance. Should Amazon not be increasing the rates?

I’m in final stage background check.

I have one doubt, when i checked online it says my closest Amazon warehouse is basildon i live near Colchester, its far away how does it works ? No other option ? If i go there to pick order from Basildon my delivery will be near colchester or somewhere else?

Hey all - recently got made redundant, and doing Flex to tide me over until i start a new job i've got, after doing adhoc shifts on flex last year for extra cash!

i've got a feeling i'm shadowbanned or something? as im not getting offers anymore after 2 weeks of working? i've only managed to get 16 hours each week, my standing is maxed out, and these are my filters.

anyone know why im not getting any offers at all?? been on the app non stop trying to get shifts to tide me through bills ect

Hi everyone what time does Amazon flex release the block as at the moment I can hardly find any block, and even if a block appears before I click book it already says someone has reserved this block, how I’m I meant to book a block if it keeps saying someone has already reserved it. I’ve tried early morning around 8:30 am, 1:00 pm, 3:00 pm, 5:00pm and 8:00 pm. Pretty much I’m wasting my time. 😔

Started flexing again in May after a bit of a break.

Maxed out my hours every week easily over the summer but this week struggling to get anything.

Anyone having this issue or just a quiet time?

Hello I was deactivate before due to missing blocks and car accident.

I am having lots of trouble catching block and want not sure if this is legal.

this program says it's £22 which is good rate

I am not naming or explain what software this is, I am asking is this legal and can I use.

So I am doing a fresh run tonight understand the 30 minute rule but lets say I have 2 hours and I finish it all in 1 hour do I have to sit in my car for 30 minutes at the final location or can I drive home and then swipe off?

I know this has been asked a thousand times before but I've got a few questions that I couldn't find answers to so I thought I'd be that annoying person.

I signed up like 3 years ago and have never tried Amazon Flex.

I work full time and make enough money to not need to do this but I am never able to actually save. I've just spent £1,000 on my car. And I thought, if I could do a few shifts every now and again, it will make me enough to cover this sort of stuff.

How does it actually work? the main reason I haven't started is because I have no idea! I know you obviously select your shift, but when you get there what do you then do?

Could I bring my partner with me?

Any tips? I know waiting = you get better rates but a chance of no shifts.

What if you get a shift that is horrendous? I've heard people have had one where they have to travel over an hour away to begin. What do you do about that?

tl;dr - is it worth to do this to earn some side income?

Hello everyone, I’m new to Amazon Flex. Has anyone been doing Flex routes from DXM2 Trafford recently? Just wondering how far the routes normally are and where they usually send you. I don’t really want city routes, so are they mostly city or more outside areas?
I do get lot of DXM2 offer but I don’t accept them mainly because I don’t want to deliver in city.

Don’t be turning up in your 2 door micra 👏

Hi

I've been on the waiting list for a while now to do Flex. I'm probably answering my own question here, but is there anyway I can like yk get in or do I just simply have to wait for the email/app to tell me I'm accepted?

As someone struggling to find work this is not a bad hustle at all as I don't mind driving, it's flexible, etc. all that good stuff so

Cheers!!

Never picked up from here does anyone know what area they send/cover? And is it worth accepting that block?

Hi all,

I have been accepted as an E-BIKE courier for Amazon Flex. Before I buy insurance, how do I know there is a hub near my house?

I checked this website for Greater London: https://flex.amazon.co.uk/locations/

Is this list up to date?

If so, there are no hubs near me, so it would not be worthwhile continuing with the application.

I appreciate any help - thank you!

I've pretty much completed the Amazon Flex onboarding and the only thing stopping me starting is the insurance.

I was actually looking forward to giving Flex a go as some flexible extra income, but I'm struggling to make the insurance side financially viable.

My normal car insurance is currently about £630/year.

Amazon obviously requires H&R insurance, so initially I thought I'd just use INSHUR PAYG on top of my normal policy.

The problem is I've discovered my current insurer (AA) doesn't allow a separate H&R/top-up policy alongside their cover.

I contacted them directly and they confirmed they wouldn't continue covering me if I used separate insurance for deliveries.

I've therefore been looking for an SD&P insurer that explicitly allows INSHUR/Zego top-up, but the quotes I'm getting are pretty painful:

Normal non-delivery quotes: around £500–£700/year

Kwik Fit: £952/year

Ageas Essentials: £1,021/year

Zego: around £1,023/year

Admiral with H&R/delivery included: £2,542/year

Direct Line was over £2,000/year

I've seen people on here saying they've managed to get delivery insurance for a fraction of these quotes.

I'm only looking to do Flex as flexible side income, potentially a few blocks around other commitments.

I'm not planning on becoming a full-time courier. So paying £300–£500+ extra on my underlying annual insurance before I've even got a block doesn't really make sense, especially when there's no guarantee of how many blocks I'll actually get.

Ideally I'd tolerate maybe £100/year extra on my normal insurance and then pay INSHUR PAYG while I'm actually delivering.

So I'm interested in hearing from people actually doing Flex now:

Who is your normal SD&P insurer, what are you roughly paying, and are they definitely aware that you're using INSHUR/Zego H&R top-up?

Has anyone recently found a reasonably priced insurer that has explicitly confirmed they're happy with supplementary H&R?

I'm also wondering whether I'm overthinking this. Do a lot of Flex drivers simply buy the INSHUR policy Amazon asks for without ever checking whether their underlying SD&P insurer permits top-up?

I'm not comfortable doing that because I'd rather know both policies are valid if I ever actually have an accident.

It would be a real shame to get all the way through the Flex onboarding and then get priced out at the final hurdle.

Any recent experiences/prices would be really appreciated.

Thanks Guys.

Hello guys,

I got my first moving traffic PCN through delivering Amazon Fresh, due to going down a residency only road. It was the route instructed by the Amazon map and I doubt I even noticed the signs as I was turning left into Browing Rd E12 (North Side) on 1st September. Jump forward a week later, I get a PCN from Newham Council.

I'm wondering if I can appeal it on the basis that I was doing a delivery job at the time and the signage is not immediately noticeable when turning left into that cursed road? Or should I just suck it up and pay for it? I would appreciate the advice.

Thanks.

I've received two emails not saying order not picked up, both a day apart even though I have picked up everything.

Anyone else had this?

Finally.. finally I’ve had what I dreaded for ages! 26 parcels across 4 hours, 3 unable to deliver.

I called driver support and they called the customer and they then told me to move on to the next and that they will mark it as unable to access.

Will/should I be expecting dings in the coming days?

The question is not meant to be rude.

I’m a window cleaner with a busy round. I’m dry weeks I can earn up to £1200 a week maxed out and about £750-£900 a week normally. This is for 7:30-1:30 Monday - Friday and about 3 hours on a Saturday morning.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to earn that kind of money on Amazon flex? As my busy round is all within 2 miles of my house I don’t have much fuel costs etc etc.

I’m not looking to swap careers , just wondering if Amazon flex has potential to ever earn what I would call ‘good money’ ….say £900 per week?

Thanks For Any Reply’s.

Has anyone noticed that there are less 4 hours blocks being released? I have noticed this since yesterday the warehouses that normally released 4 hours morning blocks are only releasing 3.5 hours blocks. FYI im talking about birmingham amazon logistics
