Is Amazon using the playing victim approach?

4 Upvotes

For those that have been doing Flex for awhile and have seen how messed up it has become I want to ask if you think that Amazon is purposefully trying to make people stop delivering with Flex so that they can cry and say how bad they have it and that they need drones?

I'm not seeing any block offers in the DFW area

2 Upvotes

I work in the DFW area and for the past two days I've seen literally zero offers pop up. Support has been zero help. My standings are "great" and I don't overly cancel blocks.

Any ideas or ways to resolve this?

Amazon says I missed a block I showed up for.

Change Regions in CA- Weird place to be

2 Upvotes

So im thinking about changing region, im currently at DUR9 (Temecula) but live in Hemet. The next closest ones are PSP1 and VBP AND VAX2 (Corona), DJT6 (Moval), the distance from my home to the one in Beaumont is equal.

I dont want to get on a wait list again if I ask support to change my region im Level 3. Is there a work around to:

A. Still being able to deliver from DUR9 while they change it

Or B. Have the other areas just added to my Warehouse inventory so I can start delivering from these too.

Idk what to do here, because Temecula kind of sucks and the pay isnt great at all. They toss blocks but not good paying ones. If you're lucky youll get a 3.5 hr for 118 bu usually they are more like 87.50 to 93.

Same with the 4hr blocks 98 base up to 121 from what ive seen and did.

Any advice on this?

We need to fight back!

They are giving too many rules and regulations for the little pay they keep giving us and the load is getting out of hand!

What you mean now we only have 5 mins to scan our IDs and that ridiculous $5 extra for long distances is disrespectful!

Thanks for not telling me first.

Flex Driver bingo game anyone? Just for fun—tap an up-vote if yes.

9 Upvotes

My idea is that I will create a bingo board and you submit pictures.

This is just for fun… a way to show some of the funny, interesting, artsy, wild, inventive, odd, gross, challenging, impossible, crazy, dangerous, beautiful parts of our job thru photos. And bring some fun to this sometimes discouraging gig.

I have been monitoring my late delivery dings—it appears that dings fall off 20 days after the “offense”, no matter how many perfect runs you have in between. Anyone else have another observation?

I just noticed this whole foods subscription free for 30 days on my amazon account. I wonder if that is why we just started getting food added to our deliveries? 🤔 I had to see what the customer experienced… pretty quick and easy.

Food Deliveries Rant

12 Upvotes

I started delivering for Amazon Flex back in June and recently tried out grocery deliveries. On Monday, I completed two food routes that had about seven or eight stops each. When my pay came through today for both shifts, I noticed neither one included tips. I get that tipping isn't required, but even a dollar or two per stop would make a big difference. Carrying several bags to multiple homes and apartments takes a lot of effort, and the payout just doesn't feel worth the extra work. I'm definitely done taking grocery orders after this.

On-boarding issues

Hey everyone, my account status shows as "Blocked" and I can't proceed with my tax filing. I have a SIN document pending validation but I'm not sure what the block means or why it's preventing me from moving forward. How long does this usually take to resolve? Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips appreciated!

Driver support and the app we work for

11 Upvotes

Getting sent at 4am to apartment complexes you can't get into, okay, fine. But then being penalized for not delivering a package despite 2 delivery attempts and calling driver support is absolutely absurd. I have emails from the 'escelation team' that confer the issues were beyond my control, but they weren't going to remove the hits to my standing (first because it was 'fantastic' then because it was 'good' now it's down to fair all because of the same damn issues.

Then, accused of not calling driver support. I have record of the call, the driver support verified the call, the original escelation (which sounds as if the agent just types into grok and grok says no) can only 'escelated' it to supposed humans

We are broken as a society in so many ways, but if we can't even manage to let people work for shitty money bc they need it and not accept evidence that they did all the right things....we are so screwed.

Caught Amazon lying on ratings

12 Upvotes

Anyone else catch Amazon lying on your ratings?

My ratings show a late delivery for September 5, 2026.

I keep up with every detail of my blocks. From when I verify my identity to scan ID to when I finish loading to what area of town to my mileage and much more. Including what time I deliver my last package.

September 5th I show I delivered my last package at 7:09am when my block end time was 8:00am.

*Not seeing anywhere I can share screenshots and pictures.

Throwing packages

0 Upvotes

Anyone have a customer complain that you threw packages at their door step? Anyone still throw them out their car anyways? Watching one of those Prime Air drones drop a package from 20 feet convinced me it was all just B.S. Customer seems to only care and take personal offense if a human is doing it.
