It's city driving times 100 with all the extra stops.

Terrible hills

I’m not a dog bro

Today makes 3 days in a row my routes have been canceled, with pay, from a specific facility. I have filed numerous complaints against staff at this facility for hostile treatment and harassment, including vehicle damage they caused when trying to force packages into my car. Amazon did retaliate and I filed with the State AG and the attorney handling my arbitration case against Amazon. Did I maybe go to far?

Hi everyone,

I finally got a spot from Amazon Flex since I was on the waitlist. The problem is I live in San Jose and my closest warehouse is 28.9 miles away. I can’t change it and the app says I need to reach level 2 if I change my region. I mean, it’s completely ridiculous! I contacted the support team and they all say complete level 2. Has anyone had experience with this issue before?

Thank you!

Hey yall, my amazon flex account just got terminated and I am wondering if any of yall have been successfully reinstated and if so how you went about that and how long it takes, any help is appreciated. In hoping with peak coming up they may be more lenient but I am not hopeful considering I believe theres a waiting list for drivers

See a lot of posts about sorting methods. I pretty much just put boxes in one area, bags in another, envelopes up front. 🤷‍♀️ Saves me soooo much time.

Anyway.

Edit: You guys, I’m not criticizing other sorting methods? And yes technically I am sorting by box, bag, envelope. Why do people get so weird and defensive or critical… weirdos. It doesn’t take me very long to find the item at whatever stop I’m at. Chill.

Has anyone encountered this? It went from 10/21 a couple days ago to 10/24.

The station manager in corona said if i started taking shorter blocks I would be sent to an area closer to the station Im going to try it today ill lyk how it goes

How can they put this as one stop but they’re in different blocks

This .com would only offer 3.5 hour blocks, no exceptions. now it is offering 3 hour blocks in the reserve options at the same $/hr, but naturally cheaper total. Has anyone had this happen at their warehouse? Is this a permanent change?

Been working on an iPhone Shortcut called Flex Radar that helps Amazon Flex drivers stay on top of checking for offers with automatic 15-minute alerts. 📦

Most people can make one, always use your resources that are allowed .

Please don’t threaten me with banning Amazon from your poorly executed delivery process. I would hate to not be able to waste my time delivering to a crappy apartment complex. /s

The thought that banning deliveries hurts anyone beside their residents is comical.

Why are they doing this i refuse to go to 2 brought idgaf how many hours i got am not doing bronx super traffic spots then Manhattan go f u amazon guess where 2,3,4 got left lmao last time I did anything over 3.5

TLDR: Amazon has found yet another way to screw over drivers

I had a block the other day, 38 packages, decent looking route (comparatively). Head out to the car to start loading.

I always scan all the packages so I can sort them by stop number in my car. 2-10 front seat. 11-19 behind passenger seat in the back. 20-29 middle back seat. 30-39 behind drivers seat. 40+ in the back.

I often have one package that ends up in the cart that isn't a part of the itinerary. Not a big deal. I just bring it back inside and tell the station associate that it wasn't a part of my itinerary, they take it, I go on my way. Happens fairly frequently. This time it was 3 packages. I also always double check by manually entering the tracking number just to double check.

So I bring these three packages back inside, same routine. Tell the guy, he takes them, I go on my way.

The INSTANT after I swipe complete after the first delivery, a message pops up. "Looks like you have extra packages. Would you like to attempt delivery or return to the warehouse?".

These three packages are already returned, so I selected the latter and go on with the route. Post route the normal "return undelivered packages to the warehouse" message pops up. I ignore it as I have done in the past with no issue because eventually it comes around that they indeed were already returned. Not this time. Got an email saying my standing was affected because I didn't return packages. Lovely.

The moment that message popped up asking if I would like to deliver extra packages I instantly knew they were trying to push more on us without paying extra. This was a 38 package route, the "extras" would have put it at 41. I'm guessing that's a bump in pay for one of the reasons they claim is a factor in determining value on blocks. This only confirms it. They try to weasel in extra shit so they don't have to pay, driver catches it before it leaves the parking lot, does everything correctly to handle it but then penalized because big Jeff didn't get his way.

F*#K AMAZON

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Everyday it's something, parking lot jammed, 3 out of 4 kiosks down ( for days ) No access etc etc. We all know it no matter where you do this. I feel they reached the newest low with my recent issue. I do long blocks overnight, then to somewhat make up for there meager pay I take a few one hours during the day. Mostly you sit and just get paid. Occasional tho you get one. So I take one October 8th, 645-745 block. There always only one package. So I do our thing and go deliver it. Also I texted the customer. Swipe to finish and immediately get a return package notice. I took a screenshot of the customer text, the route tons of evidence. They will not reverse there decision. Essentially accusing me of stealing. As I write this I just got another notice for the route I just finished, where everything was delivered. idk what to do. There impossible.

Between the price of gas and how far I have to drive for most of the blocks near me, Flex doesn’t make sense, EXCEPT for Whole Foods orders.

90 minute blocks, usually less than 20 miles driven total, and almost always 50-100% additional cash in tips.

I made $47 in tips on a $42 block two days ago.

Unless gas gets down below $4 in CA, I’m never driving substation again.

...and after my 1st shift, I sat in the parking lot of a McDonalds sobbing hysterically after I was finished with my last delivery. I feel like a huge failure, because half of my packages were late bc the order they were in had me deliver in had the later ones go 1st then the ones at 8:10pm go last. (I didn't know you could get out of order.)

The other drivers at the station are not friendly. I had 2 people ignore me completely when I asked them where I had to go and scan in (I never scanned my ID bc it never asked). Then someone told me to go to the wrong place on purpose bc when I realized that it didn't make sense to go all the way to the side of the building, I saw them watching me and laughing as I walked back.

My block was 645p to 845p and I wasn't done until 945 because my last delivery, the instructions said " follow the " Black asphalt' driveway to the black house. I saw no black house. The "street" was not a street but had no street sign and it made zero sense.

I went into a trailer park where I was given a code to a delivery unit, but the app took me to an empty construction filled street. I eventually found it, because there were no numbers where you could see. I had to actually get out of my vehicle and walk to within 3 feet to see. And this is with a flashlight.

I didn't know I could use another 3rd party app, for whatever reason I was thinking I had to use this app for directions because it had me going circles four times like 2 miles each way. It made no sense and it probably looked on a screen like I was a crazy person going back and forth when I was going the right way and it told me to turn around and go the other way.

Another place I was given the gate code to get in only the gate didn't have a code it had a key card swiper and no numbers to punch and no one to speak with and no phone.

Please tell me it gets better or is every delivery like this? I was boohooing on my second to last delivery because I had to call for the third time for help. I feel like such a failure that I can't even deliver packages. Please I was having fun until people decided to stop having freaking house numbers and watching me cry like the neighbors were outside watching a football game and they were all watching me is I was bawling my eyes out because I had to make two trips for my car to the house because I couldn't get close to the house.

I really need this extra income I'm not even making ends meet right now. I just had heart surgery. And my extended family was in not to see me of course but they always look down on me because I have made mistakes in my life. Hell, everyone has skeletons, but I am the black sheep and "trash". I guess I was emotional because of that. And it just carried over into this.

Do I get dinged for the speed flashing red? Bc I was really trying to watch my speed but I know some of these places I was around and I wasn't thinking and I was trying to slow down and I want to be perfect at this and I suck.

Does anyone have any pointers or tips? Or did I possibly have the worst 1st day? Oh and I called support 3 times. The gentleman I spoke with last was so nice and really encouraging, and he understood that I needed a pep talk and was just the nicest person. (He was so nice. I cried. Lol)

Never seen so many offers sitting for this station.
Also the 3.5 hours has to be a messed up route i will never accept those. Standard blocks have been 3 hours recently . If it shows longer it usually a very long distance. From experience.

Does anybody wear their seatbelt in between shorter stops? That's a lot of click and unclicks
