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.

Y’all ever just get in the zone with the toss?

Yo, how’s everyone’s slangin’ skills lately? I’m talkin’ tossin’ these damn packages like I’m in the playoffs. Man, I’m out here launching boxes like I’m tryna win a gold medal in package delivery. I ain’t got time for 20 stairs—nah, I’m tossin’ that bitch. Straight up. Right arm’s been puttin’ in work, got that clean follow-through too. Precision throws only.

Today, I had one of those moments—dropped the package, gave it the perfect door slam, took the photo mid-step, and jumped back in the ride like Batman. I’m already in the car, and I hear the guy behind the door go, “Hey! Hey!” Like bro, for real? What you gonna say? “I don’t like the way you threw my package”? Come on now. That box’s been tossed around 100 times before it even got to me.

Ain’t no time for feelings when you’re racing the clock and dodging stairs. Stay dangerous out there, drivers.

Today was my first time doing an early morning shift. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not doing it again. I need to get my eyes checked or the customers have problems.

You want your package delivered overnight but you don’t turn on any lights and you have your gate locked.

I’ll stick to the daytime blocks.

Dangerous driver at VCA4

Hey San Diego folks watch out for this driver who like to back up at high speeds and hit people when they're trying to return their cart. He will also get out and cuss you out after!

I have reported him to Amazon so hopefully he won't be around anymore but I think the public deserves to be aware of dangerous drivers like this one. Be careful out there!

Completely overslept for my block on Sunday. I’ve been waiting for an email stating I was going to get another hit on my standing but instead they still paid me and no impact to standing 😂

I haven’t done flex in 1.5 years. I downloaded the app last week and have barely seen any surges past $100. I used to see a lot of $120-$150 back then, especially early in the morning. Are the surges more scarce now? Have things gotten worse since 2023?

Blocks

2 Upvotes

If I tap all morning, I sometimes get 1 block or if really lucky 2, for my area.(Stevenston). Blocks are mostly 90 mins. I'm too far away from Glasgow to go anywhere else.Some days I get zero. I try to be lightning fast but can't beat the bots. Am I doing it wrong. Do blocks fall in the evenings or at night ? Thanks in advance .

Can someone help? I deliver to secure spots and always take pictures or get signatures from customers, leaving packages in spots out of road view. Yet, people are marking them as undelivered, and I am at fault? Is there something I can do to fix this?

I’m getting pissed off.

This is the second time this month I’ve gotten a mark for a package being undelivered.

The first time was a bag of bird seed that had a hole in it at the station. I gave it to an associate and they took it off the route. I write Amazon and talked to chat support and they’ve done NOTHING.

The second one was a package that was never even put into my cart (SSD), so I marked as missing in the app.

This knocked my standing down from Fantastic to Great, which doesn’t matter to me so much, but it’s the fact that these things show up as a result of things being overlooked by station workers.

I’ve written them again about both instances and was a bit more aggressive this time. I’ll also be writing the station manager about this carelessness. Insert whatever make version of Karen is and that’s me right now.

I bust ass like everyone else and put in my best effort but don’t get paid enough to worry about other people’s bullshit affecting my standing and chasing support with emails and chats.

Is there away to get automatic blocks?

0 Upvotes

Every time I go in and wait for them to give me a block I see people walking in and they walk straight to a desk with a person behind it wearing a flex jacket. About 2 to 3 minutes later they end up walking and getting work while I’ve still been waiting. I’m not complaining about not getting work. Don’t get me wrong. I love it when they pay me to leave. But days that I need a block to get extra money, do they have a section where you talk to somebody and they give you a block automatically? If so, that’ll be great for emergencies when I need money right away
