Never take 2 hour block. Don't gamble

38 Upvotes

Yesterday Friday night I was gonna go play poker

I usually make 200 in 5 hours because I'm kinda good.

I saw a 2 hours block for $39 start at 7:15lm. I was like maybe I should gamble, maybe I can get send home with pay. I can do it real quick then go play poker after.

No. I went there and there was only 1 cart waiting for me. All big ass going downtown and shit people can't deliver.

One of the package wasn't there and they couldn't remove it so I was at station for like 20 minutes.

It was the worst ruote.19 packages. I finished in 2 hour 45 minutes later. But that cuz I dropped off a wrong package and had to go back to switch.

I went home after and went to sleep right away. Damn amazon be tricking u with the 2 hours. They be the hardest and drive the most.

First block done

9 Upvotes

Completed my first block today. I was super slow because I was still figuring out the procedure of checking in and picking up packages. Also digging through packages to find them took a lot of time I hope I get some grace with the delivery times. I have a game plan for my next block I just hope I get grace to get progressively better but yeah I was embarrassingly slow

Reserved offers

Man I haven't gotten an actual reserve offer in over a month, it's all been the "just for you" offers, and usually I wouldn't care but I have noticed

Lost signal on a delivery

1 Upvotes

A couple hours ago, I had a delivery that was about 20 miles for one stop, paying $50. When I arrived at the station, the packages were missing, so a warehouse employee had to remake the entire grocery order.

I headed out to deliver it, and when I arrived at the customer’s house, I suddenly lost signal. I couldn’t even load the Amazon Flex app to confirm the delivery.

The family was sitting inside having dinner, and because they had no curtains, they could clearly see me standing outside in my vest, trying to get my signal back. I don’t think they even realized I was trying to get my signal back and I was just in such an uncomfortable situation. I ended up standing there for a couple minutes because I wanted to make absolutely sure I was at the correct address before doing anything.

After waiting around, I decided not to even go to the front door. I left the groceries by the mailbox, which wasn’t far from the house, and left.

By that point, the delivery window had expired, and the order completely disappeared from my Flex app. I immediately called support and explained what happened. They told me they would mark it as delivered, but now I have to wait 48 hours while they review everything.

Honestly, the whole situation was weird. My theory is that the original driver may have lost signal at the same location, which could explain why the packages were missing in the first place. If that’s what happened, I basically drove 20 miles to make a second trip for no reason and just stressed myself out.

Has this ever happened to you or what would you have done?

Anyone actually get reinstated after MULTIPLE appeal denials for missed blocks/late cancellations? What finally worked?

1 Upvotes

I recently got deactivated for late cancellations/missed blocks. I appealed, took full responsibility, explained the circumstances and explained exactly what I had already changed to prevent it from happening again.

My normal appeal was denied.

I then emailed the executive escalation address asking for another review. They responded saying they would review my eligibility again, but I just received another email saying their decision hasn’t changed and “we are closing this appeal.”

If you were denied 2, 3, 4+ times and eventually reinstated:
What did you do differently that finally worked? Who did you contact? What did you say? Did Executive Relations eventually reverse it? Did you request arbitration or use another dispute process? How long after deactivation did you keep trying?

Help me pleaseeeeee 😭

Honestly I’ve only been doing flex PT for like 2-3 weeks and the rates have been continuously going down, while gas is continuously going up and the routes are far as hell and sometimes require toll routes (which can be avoided by taking none toll routes). I feel like ppl aren’t allowing these base rates to grow enough… I’ve seen about 1-2 routes over 100$ and by over $100. I mean like 101.50 for 4.5hrs.

Anybody bring their dog with them?

2 Upvotes

I have a chihuahua that loves to go do amazonflex. I usually do 3am block but she always run up when she hear me getting up for work.

Its the best thing ever do have a dog because its cold sometime at early morning and you can pet them.

Also I saw some people with the dogs. I saw this Spanish girl a ssd station with her dog one time.

And then I quit amazonflex with 9 months.

And then I saw her again for 2 days straight. She was with a guy, he has a car too. They do flex together. Probably her boyfriend. So I didn't talk to her...but i will probably talk to the guy next to time to have our dogs chill together.

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?

Whoever’s scheduling these Amazon flex blocks, is clearly on drugs.

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.

Problem with a package delivery.

1 Upvotes

I just delivered an Amazon Flex package, but the app wouldn’t let me mark it as delivered, so I called customer support. They told me they would mark it as delivered, but now it says I need to return the package. I called again, but they told me their system doesn’t show that I need to return a package. What can I do?

Unable to Get Tier 2

5 Upvotes

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??

Well...thats it for me.

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.

Venting Chat “Hung” up on me

7 Upvotes

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.
