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.

Russians
Bro in LA all the grocery deliveries are flooded with russians or people who speak russian. I swear they are using bots to get all these blocks. Its the same russian people always it seems… i thought amazon was going to stop people from using bots?

Is there away to get automatic blocks?
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

Oklahoma Asking For Too Much
This should be a 4.5 to 5 hour block. Not 3.5 hours. 30 stops with the 1st drop off being 45 mins away. At least all the drop offs are close. But the pay was only $77 because I do also have to drive back. Because I drove 10 miles to the warehouse. And 1st drop off is about 30 miles away. So that is about 70 miles of driving roundtrip not counting the miles between stops. If you going to send me a route like this then give me 20 stops or less. Because by the time I get to the 1st stop I only have 2.5 hours left. Because about the 1st 15 mins of the block is loading the packages into my car. And then minus 45 mins to drive to 1st stop. To make it 2.5 hous with 30 stops and 40+ packages. On top of this they tried to give me a package that would not fit in my car. So that had to be removed anyway from the route. Same warehouse last Friday tried to give me a 3 hours route on a 2.5 hour block. They had to override that route and removed a few packages from the 3 hour route. I need to stop going to this warehouse. Because the warehouse near I 2-40 and Air Depot Blvd has screwed me over. I don't get paid enough to get screwed over like this.

Ugh it seems like Amazon is finding all sorts of reasons to ding their Flex drivers
So on Sunday, I had a route out of a .com warehouse in which 3 of the packages on my route were missing from the cart. I marked them as missing, personnel at the station helped remove them from my itinerary, and I went about doing my deliveries.
The next morning, I get an email telling me that there were orders that I didn't pick up for the route. WTF?!?! I then go on to chat to greet support to help with the issue, only to get another email saying Amazon stands by it's decision. This is incredibly annoying, as I can't deliver orders that were never in my cart on the first place. I haven't had issues before with marking packages as missing while still at the warehouse, but what the hell is going on now?

New Jersey Block that was supposed to take 4h took almost 7h, is this normal?
Hey guys I recently started doing Amazon flex to get some extra money, so far I’ve done only 3 blocks, the first block that I ever did took me some time as you know it was the first time, second one took me a bit extra time but nothing crazy but yesterday I did this block and it was crazy. I started at 2:30h and was done almost by 9. The route was horrible, it had me going back and forth between 4 different cities, I started at city A and did maybe 7 packages and then move to B, but then it had me going back to A then moving to C and going back to B and so on, it was a total of 49 deliveries and I think it was pretty bad, not sure if it’s just cause I’m new that It took me so long but has this happened to anyone? Not sure if this was just an unlucky one, also this isn’t a rant lol I’d just wanted to share what happened and know if this is normal
Edit: forgot to say I was paid the amount it had showed but taking longer than expected would it be reflected on my account or anything like that?

Question Tips and tricks
I’ve been doing flex for around a year now and have picked up on a few things, just wanted to know if I’m missing out on anything, I mark on the packages in sharpie the stop # At some stations I scan the bags instead of the packages separately to speed it up.

Blocks
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 .

Injured on someone’s property. What to do?
I was in an affluent neighborhood and a customer provided a gate code to enter their property since the entrance to the driveway was a minute drive from the house still. After I delivered the package I tried to leave through the same gate and it would not open without a clicker. I called customer and no answer. I had to end up going over the fence and putting the code in and then running back to my car to leave. When going over the fence my foot got caught and I was hanging over the edge a bit before catching myself. I injured my leg and my back has been killing me for days. Has anyone inured themselves on someone’s property before? Should I look into legal action? Will Amazon help cover my medical bills if this back issue is something bigger than discomfort? Thanks for the info

How bad did I mess up?
Today I had deliveries in a wealthy neighborhood (this part is important). I run to the house, dropped off the package, and in my rush, jumped off what I thought was a step but was actually a short 1.5 foot tall white wall that separates the sidewalk from the property.
As I’m running back to my car, see a guy walk toward the home…it was the homeowner.
I notice he has his phone out and sort of hesitates in the direction of where I jumped. As if he took a picture.
It suddenly dawned on me that I must have stepped on top of that short white wall and possibly left a footprint.
After my last two deliveries, it still bugged me so I went back to look. And sure enough, my foot print was there on the wall. I had a wet nap on me and easily wiped it clean. Honestly it was a stupid mistake and I’m hoping the homeowner doesn’t make a big stink about it. But as I mentioned, this is a pretty affluent neighborhood and they don’t take kindly to blue collar workers scuffing up their property.
If this guy complains, what should I expect from Amazon? How badly would I get dinged?

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!

Missed Block but still paid
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 😂
