Please check out the Official FAQs on the Amazon Flex website and subreddit rules before posting.

We also have our own FAQ that is also linked to in the sidebar ----------->

The sidebar also has a link to download the Flex app, the Flex Support contact info, the rules for this subreddit, and a warehouse list.

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!

There is a Discord server that was created and is maintained by the mods of /r/doordash but has been built to support any courier service. They have graciously invited Amazon Flex drivers to participate and have created a channel for Flex on the server. You can access it using the this invite link: https://discord.gg/e9GNb9M.

If you are a DSP driver, there is now a subreddit just for you! Head on over to /r/amazondspdrivers for all DSP-related discussion. Please note that it is not maintained by the same mods.

Customers smh

22 Upvotes

I just donā€™t understand peopleā€™s mindset sometimes. So Iā€™m in a small residential area and the customers road is very small. They have 5 cars parked in their driveway but enough space to turn around.

So I start to turn around and this red CRV drives behind me while Iā€™m backing up. Iā€™m like wtf. Then as soon as I finally get backed up to leave the Red CRV comes back and stopes right in front of me. Now I canā€™t leave at all. She gestures for me to roll down my window. Iā€™m like yes? She said can I park in my driveway pleaseā€¦ā€¦.

I looked at her dead face and said Iā€™m trying to leave. I was turning around when you blocked me twice. She rolled her eyes and drove off. Told her to have a nice day smh.

This water is up to my undercarriage and is moving fast so I canā€™t drive thru it safely. Do I walk across the water and the almost half mile to the residence, or mark undeliverable? I already tried going miles out of my way to try from other end of road. Zero service to contact customer.

If you think Flex is bending over drivers with low pay, this company may be worse.

Radioactive pharmaceuticals company is using the Flex model to take advantage of your desire to earn money or supplement your income.

Can anyone make this make sense to me?

4 Upvotes

Why would two 3 hour blocks be different earnings?

For example, one 3 hour block may say $65, but another 3 hour block says $75.

Why would anyone choose the $65 3 hour block if there is $75 on the table?

Is there a difference between the blocks that Iā€™m not aware of?

With the new rates being so low, does anyone know if DoorDash or Instacart, etc is paying more and if theyā€™re better side gigs overall

for all of you who are riding jeff on my other post keep doing it, it'll get you far in life. me on the other hand i'll speak my mind and i think dropping to at risk overnight, over stuff that is out of your control after being fantastic for a long time is unacceptable. but keep it up riders. daddy jeff loves you.

March 22nd issue was removed previously after being confirmed by 3 representatives that it shouldnā€™t be there so Iā€™m fighting that with support again. But I simply donā€™t understand how 1 issue on April 3 (if valid) could tank your rating front GREAT to AT RISK? Anyone have any insight here? And does anyone know why I have to physically login to see the change in my status? Amazon is no longer sending me the ā€œcustomer didnt receive packageā€ email either. Thanks

The arbitrary changing of processes is infuriating.

21 Upvotes

I donā€™t know about yā€™all, but Iā€™m really getting sick of stations changing their processes with zero notification and you get there and you do something like normal and then you get yelled at because apparently they completely changed stuff overnight.

I understand they canā€™t notify us for everything but donā€™t yell at me because Iā€™m doing what I did yesterday and all of a sudden itā€™s different.

Same goes for having different employees that donā€™t follow the same processes and they just make sh** up along the way.
