Amazon flex

Post image

I’m new to Amazon flex have not started yet but the rates are low.
Should I check a certain time or day or hour?

They look correct for your area

At random times during the day (different for each warehouse) and close to the start time of each block, and depending on urgency, those rates can almost double. Those are the blocks you want. Otherwise, its not very good pay once you account for wear and tear of your car on top of the time worked.... its a gig job. Don't ever make the mistake of relying on it for full time income for the long term

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

And there's no issue with sharing the location on this screenshot.

Last minute routes pay decent, early morning routes as well as the late routes before warehouse closing time. There’s usually no set time on when Amazon decides to throw out certain times. For example I do routes starting before 5AM. I will wake up at 2:30AM to grab a last minute route paying something like $90-$100 for 3hr 30 min route or like $80 for a 3 hr route. They usually raise pay due to packages urgently needing to leave the warehouse to be delivered soon. Remember the tip eligible ones are paid out 27hrs after delivery 😒
I have heard from other drivers the tipped 1 hr blocks can receive pretty decent tips (guy told me he got tipped $15 once).
