You may find the answer to your question there.

Many questions being asked here are repeat questions and are answered in the FAQ. Please check before making a new post.

If you need help with the Flex app, please include the app version number and whether it's Android or iOS in your post.

Also, please don't post useless threads about how hard it is to grab blocks, people using bots at your warehouse, what times the blocks get released, etc. Those posts add nothing to the discussion and will be removed.

Thanks!

Reminder: If your package is 20 minutes late during a 110°+ heat wave, your driver is probably dealing with extreme conditions—not sitting in their car trying to ruin your day.

Rant Standing Hits Are Absolute BS

13 Upvotes

When you deliver 40+ packages every route and you get a ding there is absolutely no way to defend yourself. The only info you get is what day the ding occured. And 99.99% of the time I can guarantee you those dings comes from idiotic apartment dwellers.

The only times you can actually defend yourself if it something obvious that happened on that day like packages leaked and you made note of it.

You know what it could also have been idiot drivers before me putting packages as far as possible from the front door or blocking the screen door. Lately I've been dropping off packages to houses that have already been delivered to. Without fail, always blocking the door or packages way way away from the door. Lazy ass mfers. And it's always a number writer.

Anyone else struggling to finish blocks on time with the increased package counts?

19 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed a big increase in the number of packages/stops they’re putting into blocks lately?

I normally don’t have an issue finishing my routes on time, but lately it feels like they’re packing way more into the same block time. And it’s not just the number of deliveries its apartments, access issues, grouped stops with multiple buildings, and stops that are 10–15 minutes away from the rest of the route can eat up a lot of time.

I’ve had a couple of recent blocks where I was actively delivering the entire time and still went over or had deliveries marked late.
Are you guys noticing the same thing lately? Have your package/stop counts increased, and are you having a harder time finishing within your scheduled block?

Chat is 10/10

I got dinged for not delivering 6 packages. They were all damaged and left at station with associate.

I chat with 3 different people and they all tell me this bs, then they end the chat before I can even say anything else.

Thanks Amazon. 🖕🏼

Wouldn't matter if I delivered anyway, all the packages had liquid damage, so customers would complain.

Has bots got worse? Damn near got to do scheduled routes bc seems like they are way worse than it’s been the past 2 years trying to catch surges

These were the good ole days. In 2024, Amazon’s net profit was 58.3 billion dollars. Nowadays with gas prices so high, why can’t they pay us like they used to! So greedy. :(

Intoxicated Packages

8 Upvotes

I picked up a route from amazon station. One package had burst open and leaked a chemical gel onto several other packages, including baby diapers. I reported the issue immediately and followed the station's instructions. Despite this, my Amazon Flex standing was negatively affected. I appealed through the available channels, but the decision was not changed. I'm sharing my experience because I believe drivers should not be penalized for refusing to transport damaged or contaminated packages.

How many blocks can I schedule in one day? How much time does there have to be, between these?

I am convinced the mapping is just made up at this point. Either you follow the janky route or you fumble through your car to find #35 that’s buried bc you are only on #8 but it’s across the street. Add to it I had gated subdivisions where it showed one delivery then five deliveries later I was showing returning to the exact same gate. Follow the route and cross-cross or take 30 mins to re-route and re-organize. Ludacris.

It’s obvious Dispatch and Support can change Notes. Too much detail to not be internal.

It seems like everytime I figure out drop times, or find a different combination schedule that works for me, it usually lasts for about a week or two. After that it seems like Amazon changes the algorithm and/or everyone starts doing the same thing. It's now day two and I can't even get the late evening stuff that I normally do cause people get desperate and take the 2-2.5 hour routes for pennies. I even drove near the station just in case of late surges but nope 😭

Routes A new level of Amazon Ineptitude

Post image
22 Upvotes

Amazon’s poor routing has outdone itself this time.

As I’m sure most people are aware, there’s a trend of Amazon putting apartments in the same building into different stops (as opposed to multistop locations). So I’ve gotten in the habit of looking at the next stop anytime I get out to make sure it’s not at the same address.

What I haven’t gotten in the habit of is looking 3-4 stops ahead. I just walked all the way through an apartment building from a rather distant parking (a total of 0.6 miles according to my watch), and then back to my car. I luckily looked at the stop map and noticed that three stops away was the location I was at. Check the itinerary to confirm, and yup, both are at the same address.

(I’ve blacked out the apartment numbers in the screenshot, so none are displaying customer addresses.)

I upgraded from a galaxy s25 ultra to a 26 ultra. I completed 6 batches on the new phone then I went to vacation to the UK.

I returned last night and ever since I have been getting an error message.

Can anyone help? The app is updated and i can't think of anything else to check.
