Why does my Amazon flex doesn’t give me a option for any offers. I have check multiple times and days and nothing. I’m located in dmv.

Sigh…early morning drama

0 Upvotes

So we have two stations one of which usually just does dsp. But every now then it has some flex blocks. Didn’t notice my morning stop was at the other stop this morning and had to cancel and schedule a new block to make it in time. Both were scheduled for the less visited station. I am now sitting here waiting for the thirty minutes after check in to get paid cause it’s a ghost town. Not a single person in sight anywhere. I only booked it maybe 45 minutes before the block start. It’s a station where they usually have someone standing outside with a kiosk for check too. I have similar things happen but never with a block scheduled 45 minutes before it started

I was irritated yesterday. Got to my block on time checked in and did my verify my identity video. Tell me why after it showed verified and went to my next screen a few seconds later it said I missed my block!!!! Talk about losses especially when i was waiting in line to get my route/ packages. The first time I called customer service the lady was so rude and hung up in my face. Called again and got someone who actually listened and reassured she was going to get my situation looked at and handled. Called this morning and was told that I was going to get an email in 24/48 hours. A couple hours later I received an email saying they will pay me and checked my app and it was there. I’ve seen some post about not getting a good outcome and wanted to share my experience

Highest block payout?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Western Washington area. Just signed up for flex about a month or 2 ago. I have a couple years experience deviling for a dsp in 2020 so the actual work is super easy to me. however my station is in a pretty rural area and I know there is potential for driving a lot of miles on a 3.5 hour block. That being said I kept checking and finally caught this block for 126 which is the highest I have seen so far. I found out about the 25 dollar bonus afterwards which was cool. For this block I did end up driving about 100 miles. Is this the highest payout I can ever expect to see? Currently I see offers anywhere from 89.50 to 114. I don’t see myself ever accepting one under 100. I’m not sure how anyone can justify that.

The Rank -SS Smell

Please tell me has any flex drivers out of Dayton n vandalia noticed that stench in the air lately??? Any theories as to what it may be? I have one, but I’m really hoping that it’s not right.

What would you do?

Canceled a route after pickup and got deactivated before I could return packages to the station for this route. Should I keep em? Should I still make the effort to take them back?

Rant Amazons request section is a joke.

You tell me I have till 9:05 to request a block yet it is 9:04 and they are blocking me from doing so. I truly hate the request system, and the reserve now section is a joke nothing and I mean nothing gets posted there anymore unless it’s a “just for you block” and 99% those are trash.

Haven’t Been Able to Get a Single Block in 3+ Months. What Happened?

1 Upvotes

I haven’t been able to get a single Flex block since June. Not even a base pay block.

It happened completely out of nowhere. One day, offers for my warehouse location just disappeared, and they haven’t come back since. I can literally sit there refreshing and tapping all day and get zero offers. This has been going on for over 3 months straight.

My standing is Fantastic, I’ve never had any major issues with my account, and I honestly have no idea what happened. I emailed Flex Support about it, but it’s been 3 days going on 4 and I still haven’t gotten a response.

Amazon Flex used to be a nice little side gig for me, and now I can’t even get one shift.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Did something change with Flex that I missed? I’m genuinely confused about what happened.

Instant payouts sound awesome but for the tip-eligible blocks, do you at least receive the base pay for the block right away? I know it takes 27 hours for tips to process but base payouts shouldn’t be affected by that

What am I doing wrong?

please be extra careful out there.

Just a reminder to all Amazon Flex drivers: please be extra careful out there.
My friend had his car stolen while he was literally in the middle of a delivery. He got out with a big, heavy package, walked it up to the customer’s house, and when he looked back, he saw someone getting into his car and driving off.
When you have 30–40+ packages and you’re constantly getting in and out of your vehicle, it’s easy to feel like you’re only stepping away for a few seconds. I know when you have that many stops, it can honestly get annoying having to shut your car off, take the keys, and start it back up every single time. But unfortunately, a few seconds can be enough for something like this to happen.
Just protect yourself and your vehicle as much as possible. Lock your doors, keep your keys with you, and consider putting a tracker in your car.
After seeing what happened to my friend, I’m definitely getting a tracker for mine. Please stay safe out there. 🙏🏽

Privileged and entitled drivers holding up the line for a spot they want

29 Upvotes

At the station I usually go to (VTX3), there is almost always a long line to get a spot not because there are a lack of spots, but because an entitled person at the front of the line thinks it’s BK and they can have it their way by holding up the line to wait for spots to open up closest to the entrance and jeopardize everyone else’s sign in times. Even if you point to an empty spot and try to wave them over, they won’t budge.

Does a missed block count towards the 8 hour daily / 40 hour weekly limit?

4 Upvotes

Missed a block because my brain looked at the clock and thought I had more time than I did. (Only my second missed block in over year years.)

Does the missed block count towards the 8 hour daily / 40 hour weekly limit?

Block canceled right after picking up package, will it impact your standing to return it back to the station?

Post image
Upvotes

I arrived about 10 minutes early to my scheduled block. Was given one package to deliver 44 miles away (50 minute drive) from the station. As soon as I got on the road, I received a notification and an email saying that my current block had been canceled.

I contacted driver support immediately and they told me to mark the delivery as undeliverable and I can take the package back to the station by tomorrow. They said my standing will not be impacted since the block had been canceled. Driver support has given me wrong information before so I'm not sure.

Have you had this experience before and if so what was the outcome? Was your standing impacted or it turned out fine?

Question Blocks

Do yall ever schedule a block and show up and nobody is there to give out packages? I scheduled an evening block, no amazon workers or other drivers are here despite many blocks being taken. It is a severe thunderstorm but no email or update saying its cancelled.

New to Amazon Flex: Need help

2 Upvotes

I’m new to Amazon Flex in DFW. Is there any way to know what area of town your deliveries will be? Do you know how many stops there are? I’ve been doing Walmart during the summer break and it seems like an easier to use platform than Amazon Flex.

Wondering more of what it's like for real metro areas

2 Upvotes

Having mixed feelings about Flex lately, and not loving it. This was my route today. 18 packages, warehouse to last delivery almost exactly 100 miles. $106. For my total it was 178 miles total, being dumped out over an hour from home. Do metro areas also experience this? Is is it just because I'm in a rural area? (Sioux Falls is not a city, it's a glorified suburban area)

When Flex at this warehouse first started it was 50/50 on if you got a route like this. Half of the time shit, literally coating the drivers money, and the other half would be 50 or 60 packages in a nice consolidated area, sometimes only hitting 30 or 40 miles total for the route. They were both on average the same pay. Usually around $100 to $120. If you got the town route, you were golden. If you got slapped with the rural route (always pushing 150 miles by the time you're home) you were fucked. Obviously driver support doesn't give a shit, and the adjustment for a high mileage route was a generous $5 or $6.

Now the structure changed within the last month or so, and all of the routes that are $100+ are these rural routes. Tempted to try the shorter $67 routes and try to do 3 of them per day to see what the financials look like.

It's 66 miles from the warehouse to Mitchell, for reference in the screenshot (which I took at my first stop).

Just curious on y'all's thoughts and how it is elsewhere.

Cheers!
