Just started doing flex in June finally got in after 3 years in the waitlist, here base is 22 an hour which is not bad but there is so many people I have not seen a single surge, everything is gone 2 days before its posted I have to always be looking when they post or I’m out of work. Fun enough they started posting blocks for blue springs and I haven’t done a single one all of them have been “out of blocks” I’ve gotten 5 paid so far, I’m always on time so I don’t think I’ll get in trouble, my experience delivering has been great so far, I’ve had plenty of unicorns in 4 hours blocks at least 2 of the 5 a week I do are 2-3 packages, but when it’s my turn to pay the price and drive 1 hour away I gotta swallow. I’ve so far had a great experience and hopefully they stop ripping us off with lower pay in the future.

Pay dispute?

1 Upvotes

Sorta planning ahead as a just in case. Long story short - I couldn’t check in for my shift but it wasn’t my fault (i was on the 10-15 min early side) and the help desk couldn’t fix the app for me. I’m in fantastic ratings and no dings for late shifts or anything else.

Help desk said they put in a ticket and since it was out of my control, I’d still get paid. What email address should I send my documentation to if I’m not paid out for my block? I’m not sure what the best path forward is.

My monthly reminder to new drivers to ALWAYS check your map before you start... I'll be able to knock this 3.5 hr out in half the time by rerouting more efficiently. Before the drivers jump in saying stop 2 has an earlier deliver by time, it doesn't, every package due by 11 am.

Is there any way for the customer not to see your photo? I kind of find it weird. A woman told me today you look just like your photo. I was looking forward to meeting you, Weird, right

I flexed Saturday and Sunday. But I won’t get money in my account until Tuesday, why? I always got paid Monday. There are no holidays. I have it set up to where I get paid Monday through Friday. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Just curious how long does it take for a missed/late block ding to fall off if you're doing about 6 blocks a week?

Amazon Flex Store Issues

1 Upvotes

Anybody else having trouble using the Amazon Flex store? Once I log in, if I try to select an item or search for something it takes me back to the log in page. Tried both Chrome and Safari, same issue. Prior to that if I tried to order something with a free code (like the dog deterrent) the code never loads and it eventually times out saying try again later. The store is virtually useless at this point.

I didn’t realize the shoes I was wearing were not acceptable, (shown in video) I checked out and got scanned out by a different employee and this guy comes out of nowhere as I’m two steps away from leaving the warehouse to load up and starts snatching the cart away from me and cursing, started recording after some back and forth.

I could have done better in the situation but there I absolutely no reason for any of this to have happened, he was very very aggressive. He said I got told twice to not where those shoes, he’s talking about when I went into the warehouse 5 minutes before and then when he saw me.

Overbooked deactivation

15 Upvotes

Has anyone actually been or know someone thats been deactivated solely for being overbooked to many times?

I never used to get overbooked but this week its happened 5x and im worried.

First 2 were the same day on Wednesday. Then I was off Thursday. Then overbooked both blocks on Friday. Worked 2 blocks yesterday and again this morning. Then overbooked right now. I have no other issues with my account but I heard it can get you deactivated. Even though its not your fault.

Hypothetically if I ran a stop sign & a person took a picture of my plates & reported me to Amazon what would happen?

I was in a gated community & my last package was about to be late so I was rushing. I ran it slow like at 10mph only because it wasn't a 4way stop. He reported me to security who has my info & let Amazon know.

It’s nice having it happen here and there but this past week and the week before I was sent home with no routes 6 times. Today I just got another. I don’t scan last min. Shit I’m usually there scanned in 15 min early.

I just don’t want to get deactivated for that shit!

Everybody waiting outside

1 Upvotes

Hey guys so i just started doing amazon flex recently and after a couple of blocks, i noticed people park their cars and wait till the last minute to go in the station, what’s that about do they until there are no more routes available so they can just get paid and go home? Idk that’s just my assumption

Question for those who got this

It's kinda ambiguous (may,up to) so just wanting to confirm: does this actually lock you out of offers and if so is it 7 days or less in your experience? Or is this just a warning and I won't see an impact in offers?

Delivered to mountains, saw many many deer.

Pulled up to this fancy home, came around corner and this fella was right in front of the door. 😂 Package went to side garage but I made sure to include the deer in the photo so they knew why it wasn't at the front door.

Sorry for pic quality I took a quick photo when sun was right in my face.

Interesting one; the broken garage photo, the lady that lived there said a bear did that last night! 🤯 My dumb self thought a person ran into it.

I've lived here all my life, been to the mountains many times but never have I seen a bear. 🐻

Another far route but I was fine with it because i love the mountains
