@@LaosHouseI'm starting at an Amazon delivery station in about two weeks and I'm trying to figure out what to do with the extra time I’ll have. I was thinking about trying DoorDash, but after watching this video, I'm having second thoughts. How long does it usually take to get approved for Amazon Flex?
If you wait until the shifts surge it is worth it. I grab the shifts that are $30/hr or more. Also, certain shift times have a higher likelihood of you being sent home. When there are no routes, you are sent home with full pay. If you are able to figure out which shifts those are. It’s free money everyday. I’ve been doing this for 5 years now.
10:11 80% FLEX packages are inaccurately labeled (envelop, Box, M, L etc). Best option is to use a SHARPIE and write down all the Stop No. Have 1-20 in the front. Takes around 10-15mins but can save you at every stop
Good advice! Our station puts yellow route labels on the packages, but we still have the issue of the app stating the package type is something it isn't
@41933 I end up having to change my route 75% of the time, but because the software does not show the route until one has scanned all the boxes, you never know what the final route is. BUT if you always use the Amazon provided route, then that will match with the yellow sorting labels on each box. The station affixes these to each package when they get them and divvy them up for drivers into routes. So the lowest number in the group of boxes you have is the first stop, etc. Makes it easy to put the correct boxes in the car in an order that makes sense. Only issue is when one has to change the route due to Amazon not understanding mountains, or ignoring the deadline that many packages have for delivery. Often the last package in the route will have a due time of an hour from the start of the route, so one has to change the route to get the package there in time or one is punished by the app for a late delivery.
I would rather work for UPS at peak season. I have worked for 2 seasons with them . $23hr daily ot pay and mileage reimbursement. Every year pay goes up . This year I think I'll be a UPS helper ..... But what ever works for you do it
As a PT warehouse myself, go at a steady but safe pace. Makes no sense to kill yourself when you get paid by the hour. If they gonna keep you after they will take almost anyone with a pulse if they need workers, otherwise reapply later (late Spring, all Summer bc ppl go on vacation and u will make Seniority before Peak).
You need to get one of those wireless phone chargers that’s also a phone holder! It’ll help you from the annoying unplug/plug in each time you’re getting out lol best investment in my parts van.
I use Peak Design's for my car and it works great - saves a lot of time having to plug/unplug and since I have the smallest iPhone, my battery doesn't last long anyway - so any time it's mounted in the car, it's charging!
I used to do Flex but I'm an Amazon employee, can't do both at once. If you can snipe them, Whole Foods blocks are where it's at. Average $40 base pay for 2 hours and then plus tips, usually like $60-$80 for 2 hours.
done flex a few times. the way they handle flex packages is not efficient, always mislabeled as being something else and always mixed to the point you have to dig through everything to sort it right. this was close to 9 years ago, looks like theyre still doing that. lol during covid the routes were going anywhere from $110 - $150 a block
Having a EV helps alot on savings. However my tesla squeaking like crazy due to all the driving and hopping in and out the door. Many folks in my area are now doing deliveries so block prices go way down. I dont take anything over 3 1/2 hrs for less than $80. The main reason is they can send you far away or pound you with packages. You NEVER KNOW! Ive recently started doing more whole foods deliveries. The tips make up for the low base pay and not far away. Plus easier to get in and out the stations.
Before COVID I did Amazon Flex to make money working my way through university. Chill af job, listen to your music while you drive around dropping packages off, and I was able to pick up shifts around my study schedule. On the weekends I was usually able to pick up 2 shifts a day, the blocks never took as long as they estimated either so it almost always worked out to about $20/hour just to drive around.
Me ordering a USB and Amazon sending it in a medium-sized box. Delivery driver sees: Envelope. Package is not envelope. Delivery driver is now later than they'd like to be to the next stop. I feel for you man. Keep up the amazing work! :)
Used to deliver food during college. After insurance, gas, increased wear on your vehicle, increased maintenance costs. Plus, a few intangibles like dealing with traffic. It was not worth it. Good for quick beer money though. I don’t think I would ever do it again. I see you leave your car running while on delivery which I suppose is better on your starter. But depending on the area you live in, this might not be a smart decision. Have seen many people’s cars get jacked (break window, and drive off!). Massive headache to deal with aftermath.
Hats off to you, man. Brings back memories. Amazon should have you in training videos. 👍🏾 I did Flex and DSP. Flex is tough on your car but the flexibility is cool. DSP is brutal, especially in apartments. I lost over 20 pounds in the first few months. Battery saving tip: Keep your phone connected to a portable battery that’s in a side pants/shorts pocket (so you don’t have to keep taking it out and putting it back in), at least for the first half of the shift.
I got banned from Amazon flex for not making it to my shift on time due to a bad accident on the highway. Happened 2x to me over the course of three months. I lived 35 mins from the closest Amazon terminal and was almost all highway miles so a lot of times. I’d hit bad traffic.
@@coffee8814hows it his fault there was accidents that made him be late? Lol one time i was stuck in freeway for one hour getting off the highway on the next stop due to a semi rollover
Used to work for a DSP. The Flex app NUKES your battery. I either needed 2 phones, or have a 25w battery with me. If I remember correctly as this was nearly a year ago now, it was draining around 30%/h with just the app alone. I have never seen an app tank so much battery. Side note: If it says you're outside the delivery area, go into airplane mode.
I really love your amazon videos. Another great video! You make this job seem so easy. I do the exact same job as you do been doing it for 4 years now. Watching your videos makes me enjoy my job more and not to hate it so much cause i am not the only one dealing with other people's crap lol
I work at an SSD facility that uses Flex drivers, and the Dispatch (shipping) area, where I usually work, looks pretty much just like this one. Drivers sometimes bring their children with them.
In S. Florida it’s a disaster. Especially when everything is a gated community or places that for some reason can’t get to. And when you have to return things to the Amazon building you got items from is a big pain the ass. And a waste of time, energy and money. There are a ton of reasons why delivering for Amazon Flex sucks.
Just discovered your channel. I actually grew up in northern NJ myself, live in Louisville KY now. Love your videos, funny enough I have never ordered a single thing off Amazon in my life.
Gotta do what you gotta do. If you own a car expect to pay for gas and put miles on it. As long as the car is maintained and taken care of and not treated like crap. Good card especially Honda, SUBURU, Toyota and Hyundai. They’ll go soooooooo far into their lifespan. 🤷🏽♂️ just gotta be smart with it plain and simple.
Keep in mind working a full time job - especially as an Amazon delivery driver - is very time consuming and exhausting. So don't expect weekly uploads like from other UA-camrs 😁
I rarely like, let alone comment on a video, but I am for this because I genuinely enjoy watching your videos while I eat as a way to relax. I look forward to see more content. Keep it up! 👍
I’ve been doing flex for a little over two weeks and have made $672 of extra income. I’ve only done it like six times so it’s pretty awesome side hustle. Gas is $48 total so a nice little bit of chunk change. I know during the holidays it’s gonna get busier and generate higher run pay. Can’t wait!
I wouldnt be surprised if Amazon tries to slowly move exclusively to flex drivers. They have no overhead no van wear and tear, not on the hook for any accidents etc. I just wish flex paid better. We have overhead to worry about
With Sub Same Day routes (which is what you have here). I organize packages in alphabetical order, by street name. A-C front passenger seat and floor. D-F rear passenger floor. G-Z back seat and rear drivers side floor. Large boxes and overflow in the trunk. I write the house number on the side of the boxes in the trunk. By doing this I can knock out a 5 hr block in 2.5 - 3 hrs. (Depending on traffic etc etc).
Thanks for the video! Still waiting on my background check but will be starting soon! I'm tired of doing Lyft and think this will be better i know alot more is involved in this though.
I like doing flex cause it’s good exercise but I live an hour away from the warehouse and it’s hard to get the surges. I can’t do it for $18 an hour. Also, it’s hard on your brakes and transmission from the constant stop and go.
$64 for 3-3.5 hours of work? Does that include the time it takes to drive to the Amazon location, pick up packages and load them up? What about gas? Food, drink? Is that included in the $64? Have you thought about the wear and tear on your car? Tires, brakes, etc. are subject to a lot of stress and wear. What about insurance? If you have an accident, your private car will be broken, which is exactly what you need. All that and the risk of breaking your private car for $64, hell no!
im a amazon delivery driver for a company but I was told I cant do flex on the side because I work for a DSP I wish they would let me do the side hustle I would be very fast and make more money.extra money is always great.
Once u pick up your packages and swipe to finish it takes u to your list of deliveries. At the top right of the list there is a scan symbol, u can press that nd manually scan each package and it will show u which number it is in the route. I do that and write the number on the package.
Damn those blocks pay rate suck. I was getting those $120+ blocks, but the SSD blocks around peak season can go up to $200-$400. I hate working at the DSP, but the flex was so much better. Under 40 stops (sometime less), no group stops, no cameras or extra BS. The only thing I hate is that you really don't know where those stops are going to be.
Have this message for long while *'Stay tuned! You're on the list'* .. its never given me a change from that despite traveling to more busy areas with my GPS on all the time, kinda BS (think its been close to years at this point)
You can’t do both they should have told you that 💯 it violate Amazon contract and have to pick one or get fired from both sooner or later. Also delivering and recording people property where you delivery too is violating contract also. Make sure they don’t find out
Apparently Amazon flex isn’t a thing in tampa I’ve signed up and been waiting on their list for millennium now Not even any local warehouse job openings which is strange considering going into holiday season
Worked my ass of this weekend on DD, UE and a five hour Veho just now… car broke down in the middle of a roundabout - transmission breakdown. 2015 Chrysler 300S. Just as I was about to get ahead again… looks like another multiple thousand dollar repair 🧑🔧… needed a tow. Car wouldn’t go in any gear at all.
Hell yeah you really do live and breath deliveries! 😂📦 Great video Chris, tbh I might start doing flex too! Shoot we both live and breath deliveries 📦🏃
Ok! For the load of packages that took you 3hrs to deliver in this video, using your own vehicle, you earned $64 or $21.33 an hr. Do you receive a fuel card? Do you receive a cell phone stipend? Anything towards the auto maintenance and auto insurance?
What if I try to max out? By that I mean buy my own personal van (maybe even hire a helper??) and all that. Is it allowed? Is it possible? How much would I earn per day?
What do you think about Amazon Flex compared to Doordash, Uber, Instacart, ect.?
Amazing 😄
Uber is good. 👍🏻
What's your pay?
i wouldnt say flex is like uber dd etc. its more of a ''real job'' sorry for the bad term but yall prob got me. it looks more extensive than the food services. so at this point. why not just work for a DPS if youre really commited into Flex. im talking in general not you
lots of work

Put him in the training videos ASAP❗️ he is enjoying his Amazon life
By the time you factor in the gas, wear and tear, I suspect you made far less than you think
Thats a good point
In the long run it's profitable only to Amazon. That's how they have grown so big, outsourcing costs.

something you def have to take into account is the amount you take away after accounting for gas

If you plan to do flex learn the algorithm and don't take base, it's only profitable if you get decent surges $30+ is my ideal number.
Chris couple questions, what kind of car insurance ?? What about deductions income taxes, ssi etc??
Damn those blocks pay rate suck. I was getting those $120+ blocks, but the SSD blocks around peak season can go up to $200-$400. I hate working at the DSP, but the flex was so much better. Under 40 stops (sometime less), no group stops, no cameras or extra BS. The only thing I hate is that you really don't know where those stops are going to be.

bite the dog back!

Worked my ass of this weekend on DD, UE and a five hour Veho just now… car broke down in the middle of a roundabout - transmission breakdown. 2015 Chrysler 300S. Just as I was about to get ahead again… looks like another multiple thousand dollar repair 🧑🔧… needed a tow. Car wouldn’t go in any gear at all.
Like the content and the grind!
Do you have to scan every packages b4 drop them off or you just take a photo?
The bagel looked rank - what’s the pink spread?
Also, how much was the bagel? Cos that would have eaten into your wage a fair bit
It was probably strawberry cream cheese on the bagel
When it's time to file taxes, do you have to pay in for taxes?
Lol about type R comment.... I totally thought it was a Type R in the first video I seen on your channel.
I'm looking at 2000s years corollas.. Can you flex in them. Or 5hey to small?
I thought DSP drivers weren't allowed to work for Amazon flex
As a Amazon delivery driver, do Amazon let you or are you able to conceal carry while working on the job?
Hell yeah you really do live and breath deliveries! 😂📦 Great video Chris, tbh I might start doing flex too! Shoot we both live and breath deliveries 📦🏃
gotta get on that grind haha
Ok! For the load of packages that took you 3hrs to deliver in this video, using your own vehicle, you earned $64 or $21.33 an hr. Do you receive a fuel card? Do you receive a cell phone stipend? Anything towards the auto maintenance and auto insurance?
I signed up for Amazon flex under a different email but been on the waiting list for over a year
Maybe around december you should check
Great Video Chris
Thanks Chris. It's been a while. hope you're doing well
Nice you got a mirror dash camera like me
Are those seat covers in your car? If so where did you get them (link)? I am looking for my car.
60 bucks around 3 hours,discount expenses ect. Yeah about 14 an hour or so(pulling numbers out of the a s s) it’s is flexible though
What if I try to max out? By that I mean buy my own personal van (maybe even hire a helper??) and all that. Is it allowed? Is it possible? How much would I earn per day?
