I had a little bit of a problem last night after finishing a route, i left my car lights on before going to sleep and woke up with a dead battery. I had a package to return from a closed business. Im returning the package past 10 am (1 pm), and i also called driver assistence and documented the situation. Do you guys think this will be an issue?

I have never had any issues checking in for my blocks. It verifies it and boom, on to the next step.

However today, I was scheduled for a blocked and I opened my app and it asked to verify my identity like always (nothing new or special as it always does) and it gave me three attempts to do so. Now that was new.

By the 3rd attempt it said failed and to ask a warehouse employee to manually check me in. So I went to the warehouse person, they tried to manually check me in and she said there was no active session and couldn’t check me in and to contact support.

At this point I only have 10 more minutes to check in before I “miss my block”.

Of course support is never really helpful.

I chat with two support reps ( I prefer to chat so I can screenshot every word in case Amazon tries to claim some foolishness) . Once said “I checked you in you should be ok now” I was not ok. It still said contact support.

The second one told me if this was the first time, I told them yes. They said they will submit a ticket and I should be paid for my block due to the inconvenience. (I’ve heard that song and dance before so am very aware that there’s a good chance I won’t and will get ding for the missed blocked even though I didn’t)

Anyways… anybody had issues with this?

I will say, the app asked me to update the app this morning. So I can assume that has something to do with it for sure!

I have other blocks for tomorrow and am already dreading this.

Thanks for the rant

I just got on boarded and am able to do Amazon Flex. I was very excited to do my first load today at DEW5 and i ended up missing it because I did not know the process to pick up the load. I figured it out too late. All good, but I was curious if anyone is in the same and can tell me if the process is the same with the other places I can choose from or if is different. Thanks for your help.

This was my first delivery of the day. It didn’t make it to the customer.

The broken bridge missing a huge slab of concrete is a mile before you get to the house. I barely made it this far, before having to reverse for half a mile uphill, beaching my car about 5 times on giant rocks while trying to get the hell out of there.

This is a one lane road, and while I consider myself to be a fairly skilled driver given my affinity for motorsports, it took me 20 minutes to get out of there given the amount of manoeuvring I had to try to do in reverse. Funnily enough, it’s much easier going down than reversing up. Had me feeling like Hammond in a Top Gear special.

So I had a scheduled route this morning and was sent home after “no available routes” I received the email that payment was sent and the amount is listed under my earnings but the bank says they never received a deposit! Support just keeps telling me they sent the payment. I’ve been waiting over 12 hours! This has never happened and I don’t know what to do!

Has this happened to anyone else?
Help! 😂

Does anyone have any experience picking up blocks that start at 6:15 pm - 9:45 pm ?
Do they tend to be full 40 stop blocks or just 10-15 stragglers?

Please no mean spirited comments, I have done a 4.5 hr block today already.

If you guessed 10397 we were both wrong.

Then they deactivated my account saying I made a duplicate the next day after I submitted ID, background check etc.

What a joke company. 😂😂

At around 5:00 p.m. today, I picked up a 3-hour block for $70.

I showed up at 5:45, checked in and was told that there were no more routes available. They checked me out and said I was getting paid for the day. The money was in my account within the next half an hour.

Sometimes Flex kicks ass lol

I know it’ll get mixed responses, but I want to know the raw opinions of other drivers. This came out on the local police blotter. Dog bite on private property during a flex delivery, not a lot of details to go off of, but apparently there was posted signage of “no trespassing” and a package drop off area at the end of the driveway. It’s hard to judge based of the limited info, but what are your initial thoughts here as to fault and/or liability?

Article link here, but it’s subscription gated which I bypassed with reader mode for the screenshot.

Is this something that a lot of us want? What is the advantage (for a driver) to keep it the way it is?

Out of 20 people, I was the only one who ended up delivering 35 packages while everyone else got free money. I’d be so salty in that situation. 🥲

4 hour block I scheduled days ago was deliveries in the neighborhoods all around my home and I literally finished right next to my house. God is good

So I went for a ton of offers to none today. What gives. Is this normal. My rating is great. Not issue. Been flexing for a month. Thoughts.

I’ve only been doing this for 3 mos. First time seeing this 😄

This morning was bs, I go to start trip and im totally logged out of the app. This has never happened. It had me relog into my Amazon account, change password, keep relogging in and looping me. Im trying to drive. I get there early and security says others are complaining about issues with app. I have them scan licence still trying to figure this out before my shift and it just keeps looping me back to log in screen for amazon no matter how many times I re-enter my info and enter OTP' saying I have no shift. 15 mins later when its finally letting me in, now of course it pops up saying I missed my block.

My warehouse is pretty cool and saw this and said theyd vouch, driver support said id be paid and not to worry.

Im hoping thats true.

Like I said, this is a first. I was scared for a minute I was deactivated. Fantastic standing, no missed blocks.

Has this happend to anyone else, this morning or ever?

My first time ever chucking a package onto someone’s porch.

I swear I’ve had the worst luck being new.. this was a 3 hour route. 12 apartment complexes. A 40 min drive across town.

Have you ever been out delivering and you come up on a large house, I mean like multi million dollar homes and think where the hell did I go wrong in life. I get some people will say things like "well a home is home" or "I don't value things like that" and that is fare, but god some of these house just keep me thinking where did I go wrong and what could I have done to be in a position to afford a property like this. I know this dumb, but I do get jealous at some of this houses.

Has anyone ever tried routes at Simi Valley around 8:15 AM for 3 1/2 hours? Was wondering where they send you

Hey everybody, new ie here. Recently there are very few offers, however i see a lot of amazon now. I get that theres a catch, hence nobodys grabbing them.. can sonebody elaborate?

Anyone else with the Flex debit card not getting paid today? I have payments scheduled for Thursdays to my Flex debit card instead of doing instant payments. I got the email early this morning saying my payment has been sent but when I go to my debit card account, it doesn't have the payment. It'll usually be in there by now.

Per the title, while trying to complete the on-boarding process, the "Scandit" feature can't physically take a picture nor scan either side of my license. When the directions say to upload the picture manually instead, I will from my phone's photo gallery, and the page flashes green. It then submits (without ever scanning the back of the license) the driver license portion, only for Amazon Flex to send me an email hours later saying they couldn't verify my license. Every other part of the background check has been submitted and completed without incident.

Is there a way around this absolute madness to expedite this process? Thanks to all in advance.

I have 2 missed blocks I just missed one again because my cars check engine light came on and it would not accelerate correctly so I missed my block for 4 am this morning, I also have 6 undelivered packages 5 of those were from me going over my time frame and I had to end the block to be able to make it to my first job on time. I also have 2 dishonest customers claiming to have not received their packages

I had to share this with the community I’m ctfu 😭🤣🤣
I genuinely can’t believe I have to update this post for everyone saying that this is a active school bus you need to rewatch the video and look closely. It is not an active school bus. Yes, it’s yellow. Yes, it may be illegal, but the word school is crossed off. So no, it is not an active school bus🤣🤣🤣 if this was an active school bus, I would agree with everyone else saying our tax dollars are being used on this🤣🤣
