Amazon is a piece of shit company. Not only do they treat their Flex drivers badly, they treat their warehouse workers badly too. I once work for them in one of their fulfillment center near my home town here and after taking one day off due to sickness. They started treating me with disrespectful manner even threatening me with termination if I don't get good rates on my package scans. This went on for months and management laugh it off as if not care. Honest to say I have no choice but to leave that awful place and want nothing to do with Amazon ever again.
Agreed ..
Bezos is going down ..
Plain and simple ..

@ Team Spirits -- you are a wise man. Good for you, Amazon is hell hole. worse than Walmart , most people are clueless.
Oh yeah...I also had a bad experience working at Amazon...I feel your pain...
Amazon was good in the beginning but eventually they started shitting on drivers.
flex sucks...they don't and will never care about their drivers.
I was deactivated for almost the same thing. my customer satisfaction was 100% and i even went out of my way to take back 4 leftover packages that weren't on my app itinerary or paper itinerary at the warehouse. When I took them back, the warehouse worker said someone messed up and i could have kept the packages and nobody would have even known. I was deactivated a week later. Shows what Amazon thinks of their honest drivers.
thats my story!
Oh yeah...Amazon just cares about numbers...I worked in the warehouse...I was a model employee, everyone liked me, I trained a lot of people, many of whom went on to be promoted...and I got fired because I had some physical limitations that hindered me from performing at "top capacity", so they let me go...not caring that I knew a lot about the business and was an asset to the team...they just saw their unrealistic expectations not being met...and I told several managers about what was going on, but they didn't really care...
fanboysreign I smell a lawsuit if they fired you on account of a disability.
Good information to know... lesson learned swipe to forfeit 45 minutes before the shift...
Thanks for telling the good, the bad and the ugly. It's such a shame they treat their drivers like that. This is just a new opportunity for you to broaden your horizons and get on board with the next best thing. It too have, and will continue using, Amazon Prime. Too good to give up :-)
Flex was quite good before Christmas. They changed how to get blocks and hire to many people. I use to get 1-2 blocks everyday before xmas but now no blocks unless I keep tapping on my phone... there are shifts at night but you get paid less and longer routes
That's why you check the weather before you leave out and also your vehicle since your driving around town. Might want to get a car thats awd here in st. louis we never get any snow ❄️
algorithms deactivating you. i bet no human even looks at your emails
Yo paul man, that sucks dude. I've been watching your videos since I started thinking about amazon flex in my state and just seeing how people do the job, let alone experience. Definitely makes me wanna try this job less if I can easily get into rush hour traffic and be late. Then get fired for the unfair reason of not being on time and excuse. But hey man, seems like u got back ups so it's all good man, keep your head up. It's there lost. Also keep up the videos man!
My account was deactivated for other reason. Despite returning undelivered packages back to the warehouse, I still received email notices in the next morning that i didn't return. One day amazon just emailed saying that they terminating me due to multiple occasions that i didn't return undelivered packages. This is horrible because there is no transparency in their system. Once an Amazon driver return the package in the warehouse, Its no longer in their control and therefore its the employees in the warehouse are now in charge. So if the employee in the warehouse don't update the status of the package the blame is on the driver. A driver's signature should be required because it would serve as a proof that the package has been returned but Amazon doesn't require a signature.
I just went through the same thing and been emailing support for them to make it mandatory to let these customers sign when they received their package.
I got terminated as well, them saying the package was marked as delivered, but the customer didn't received it. This is Bullshit!
I had one package stuck on my itinerary for two weeks...Fishy n the overtime situation will not work for me... You are as good as your last delivery....It will work out...doors close, others open
This guy got fangs. That's pretty cool. You a beast.
WOW I was in Portland that snow storm week. It was crazy and you definitely cant drive let alone deliver package with all the time limit. If they gave you a mark because of this, it is not fair. Man, i hope they re-activated you back Paul. I'm doing Prime Now in So-Cal because i watched your video first and convince me that this is a good gig.
But yea, flex support sucks. big time.
Hi Paul, I was deactivated also because I didn't return a package the same night i couldn't deliver it to a customer. It was after midnight when i reached my home after following the directions from the app GPS to an address that would come up on my car's GPS . After driving 40 miles out of the way, I figured out that the address was for a new residential neighborhood... My scenario went just like yours, i worked a few more days then the app was shut down. I sent an email... they replied like yours. They didn't care and I wasted my time writing and sending proof of my situation..
I also live in Portland, went through that storm too. Took like 9 hours for me to get home from work that day. Thousands of cars everywhere. Funny It was actually the time I made my first Unbox Flix episode which I reviewed snow chains for shoes! I also was deactivated last night after 3 months on Amazon right after my first sale. The reason, because I don't have enough subscribers! Just the timing was interesting.
sorry about that bro and thanks for sharing, you were the one who inspired me to start Amazon Flex, good luck bro
Amazon Flex drivers: I'll show you how to get more blocks. TAPTECH, a solution to help Amazon Flex drivers auto REFRESH, ACCEPT blocks.

10% OFF Coupon Code: YT2018
I’d like to share my Amazon Flex experience with you. I’ve being Amazon Flex driver for over 5 months now. The pay （average $25-28 hours with tips） for this kind of work is fair that I work 30-39 hours per week and make about $3500 a month. I am looking for a newer car so that I can work for UBER and LYFT as well. There are little reserved hours and it is a challenge getting blocks. I almost quit because I feel it is nonsense and wasting of time swiping phone screen to find block not even know what and when these blocks are released. I use a device called TAPTECH Auto Clicker （NOT SOFTWARE）to swipe and tap the phone screen to get blocks for me. It is working efficiently and effectively that search and accept block offers without my fingers on the phone. If you want to earn more with Amazon Flex, this tool will help you spend less time of swiping/tapping phone screen while getting more blocks to maximize your earning opportunities. How much per day would you pay to someone to swipe the phone screen day and night constantly to get blocks for you? My investment was paid off in one day. （DO NOT RISK DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT by using third party software because Amazon will detect it!!）
Not fair. I know how it was in Portland during the snow storm.I think the best is not to schedule any blocks during the snowy days.
That really sucks man ... I hope you find something better , I was really gonna try that service but you changed my mind...
Same thing happening @ the post office. They don't care about their workers, just the delivery of the parcels.
Thank you Paul for sharing this video. I'm also a driver for Amazon Flex and enjoy it immensely. Sorry that happened to you but please if you want to continue to drive for them don't give up. Please send another email to support and explain exactly what you said on this video. I'm sure they also have a high turnover rate and the email may go to somebody else that hasn't reviewed your termination. You made get lucky and have someone that has a clearer understanding that it wasn't your fault. Good luck and continue with the videos I appreciate it very much thank you.
Same.
How did you know they usually send you an email if you cancel less than 45 mins before your shift? Had you done that at all before the snowstorm and the flat tire?
I can relate man. Started first week here in DC. They terminated my account on New Years Eve for the stupidest reason. Theyre ruthless..
Kyle I was at the Springfield location and I quit in August. I got tired of being suckered into restaurant deliveries. They finally changed the app but I was already over it.
Kyle Why did they deactivate your account?
While you driving can cost an accident whenever they sending a block to reserved!!!
actually i 45 minutes or more, or say the block drops with very little start time, u have within 5 minutes to forfeit it.
Keep your head up dude. When one door closes another opens. Often a bigger and better opportunity!
I’m a courier with amazon driver..
Amazon warehouse manager when I returned back 12 packages of Apartment no safe location they get pissed off..
Smfh I don’t want risk any consession..
They’re stupid I rather bring back the package.
looks like we have to grow wings and web splash like spideys to deliver packages.
my account got deactivated also
I've seen and heard Amazon treat workers like crap all they care about is them boxes being delivered but work conditions is really bad
Simple logic. Don't schedule work during a snow storm!
I got a flat and explained that to them and they took it off my record. Of course that was my only time.
Your camera quality is great, what type of cam do you use?

I was terminated and sent in an appeal. Today I got an email from amazon support that after reviewing the information I provided, they will not reinstate me. I am just wondering if anyone has gone through the same thing. Is the denial permanent and final? Has anyone got denied an appeal but got reinstated after a period of time?
Amazon doesn't care about weather, they work in weather and you are expected to as well.
so if you pick 4 hours block, do you need to delivery a certain amount of packages in those 4 hours? or they track you on GPS and you just deliver as many package as you can? what do they go by?
You get a certain about of packages to be delivered sometimes it might take you less then 4 hours to complete or it might take you more then 4 hours to finish either way you only get payed for 4 hours.
These delivery jobs like this & others like this, seem to have a high turnover just like the trucking industry. It seems from what i read from some viewers that there are communication problems, app issues & not caring about their drivers.... Also if the person is not satisfied with their position & ranting about online that doesn't help the situation. Hope everyone finds the job that fits their needs & are happy & valued at their job.
Crazy, but still better than crashing in a snow storm!
wow sorry to hear bout that dude.
i used to work for Amazon and it started off good but everyone i started with started to drop 1 by 1.
and then it went from good to worse. they dont care about employees. its out wit the old in wit the new. plus management sucks. i quit Amazon due to their bullshit. iwhen i found out about amazon flex i thought it would be better but to hear how they let u go...why am i not surprised... i no longer want to ever be affiliated with them ever!!
won't they reactivate after time ?
Sorry you had to go through this. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Ps: Your video "3 Reasons Why I Hate Amazon Flex" probably didn't help. 😕
+Crisszilla that video was made after this :)

Dude I totally feel you’re pain bro. Not to disrespect you man, but perhaps Amazon Flex drivers (not just you) need to really understand and be cognizant of the fact that choosing blocks should be done cautiously and carefully. By that I mean, if the weather looks like it might be crappy this week, then be really really careful on the blocks you pick in addition to the extra time perhaps needed due to poor traffic conditions. It’s all about logistics man and I get not everyone works in that field. You got to be absolutely sure about routes, deliveries, schedules, etc. concerning what you’re willing to do on any given day or week. If you live in sunny beautiful California, for example, well then you probably won’t have to worry too much about snow messing with your delivery routes. I’m not even talking about just Amazon Flex. I’m talking about anyone who delivers anything for any company. I totally agree that Amazon, more than likely, screwed you for a very poor reason if any at all. It is a shame. The multi billion $ company really doesn’t give a dog shit about anyone or anything but their profits. We could write a shit ton of books on how and why corporations in America don’t, but need to actually care about their employees. We all know this. But they’re in it to win it. Means money comes first. So there’s no way around that. In the meantime all we can do is stay on our game and do the best we can. When it comes to picking and accepting blocks for A Flex then you gotta scrutinize carefully what you’re doing. Not trying to rip on you bro, but I think you should have been just a little more careful ESPECIALLY in your area as you said bad weather is common there. The flat tire. Well nothing you could do about that realistically EXCEPT (as my buddy next door who has been a delivery driver all his life along with some dispatch work tells me) if you’re gonna work in delivery type work for any company whether it’s a company vehicle or your own:: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE!! Check Check Check everything before you hit the road. Everything. It’s not easy but the folks who do this kind of work for a living for many years will tell you this. Flat tires happen, but it may have been preventable. Also, someone else commented about people using social media to say things and make comments/opinions about companies that they work at. Understandably even when employees may not necessarily repeat negative things online for all the world to see or hear, they STILL care man. I did some HR work for a few years out of college. Bro, companies really just don’t like the fact that people go online social media and mention them at all. It’s just the way it is man. Even if you don’t say anything bad, it’s just not a good vibe at all that they want to be associated with. It produces a sort of stigma. Unfortunately, a part of the reason isn’t the actual posting of the material online itself (ie) a UA-cam video, it’s how easily things are misinterpreted and misconstrued by others. One minute you’re saying nice things online about where you work and in 48 hours someone has it all wrong and spreads some hate or at best misinformation on what you’ve said. You get what I’m saying dude? Maybe Amazon Flex didn’t think you said bad things about them. Maybe they didn’t even know about your video at all. But the point is, why put yourself at risk? I’m using an extreme example but you get the idea.
Sorry for such a long reply to your video from several months ago, but I did enjoy and appreciate your videos on Amazon Flex so I wanted to participate in the discussion bro. Thanks again and have a good one!
Twitter will always deliver the fastest response. Try there.
Would you mind telling us how much you made per week with AmazonFlex? They're known to deactivate accounts who make good money consistently.
~$700
I know EXACTLY how u feel!
Quit yesterday as I have had 1 shift since December 9th, 1! Even made myself available for over 100 hours this week and got nothing
Ben Ben u gotta always check , these things fly too fast.
Hey Paul, question. Did you ever have a package missing by customer? I just got my first one today. How should this be handled.
Jon Meyers yes couple times. I'd ignore it since we can't really do anything about it. If you get 3 or more missing emails then talk to your supervisor and see what he or she can do to help
I appreciate the reply. Not counting on this job to last more than a year....but still fun, hope I can get a good enough car for something like lyft or uber. Thanks for the help
Damn, they booted you?
I just got my termination email today. Amazon flex was one of the best things to happen to me. I emailed back and forth and they decided not to reinstate me. This has caused problems emotionally and financially. They had no mercy to reinstate. I am absolutely shocked and lost for work now
That's horrible
Amazon flex sucks. Im tired of fishing for blocks wasting my time. I have put them on the back burner. I only do the reserved shifts now or fish when I dont have hours on my other gigs.
i had a similar experience today. got deactivated after delivering successfully for 7 months. I have appealed but I dont know if they will reinstate me,
donga badonga Why were you deactivated!
well to be honest i dont actually know for sure. maybe some pakages were stolen from front door
(were left at the door after getting in contact with the customers) . other thing that comes to my mind is that i had a technical issue with ios application. i called the help line to figure stuff out. i had many undelivered pakages that day because of that. thats all that i can think of. before that I had almost 100% record. no missed routes ever. i delivered for almost 7 months.
donga badonga they can't blame you for packages being stolen off the porch they are watching you as you deliver I've called and they'll be like where did you leave the package I told them I didn't I'm still in the front of the house they were like oh you really are the second time I couldn't find the address she said its across the street I told her I'm will ask the mailman she said yea go ask hime he's at the white building right where youre standing at
even regular amazon working for the company aint fair 1 little thing your gone even when you go to those stupid gated communities or apartments lose time hard to find bring back 1 package out of 200 something your written up soon fired.
There is one thing for sure, they lost out on a great employee.
no way your done with flex!!
Sorry - also just getting a new email will not work, as others may suggest. After two years of dedication and my ratings slipped below 90%, I was immediately deactivated.
After trying to create new accounts with new email, new EIN number from the IRS and a different state's DL (I still had a valid one from moving) and before my background check was completed, Amazon sent me an email saying that "due to violation(s) of the Amazon Flex Independent Contractor Terms of Service, Amazon is hereby terminating the Terms of Service. As a result, you are no longer eligible to participate in the Amazon Flex program."
Move on!!
You can still alter your name, phone and email that was on your app account via logging from the @t site as you would access your shopping or affiliate accounts. Have you ever bought, sold or been an Amazon affiliate? Don't use that email or phone!
poor baby. now you have an idea of what truck drivers have to deal with
damm
it does not make sense but i feel they letting you go because of your videos. Some big companies dont like people posting their company business online on a daily basis. I have watched all of your flex videos and you have not said anything negative about amazon so i don't get it.
hey paul read #4 of this article. i believe amazon was using that forfeit that you used as an excuse to get rid of u but the real was reason is your daily posting of the inner operations of the company online

Melvin Young agreed i have a book called the 10 rules of the mafia and how they pertain to the everyday man one of the rules says don,t dabble in office politics in the mob your dead in the civil society your fired do your job collect your money and go home the other rule is the walls have ears dont say anything about the boss or you will get wacked or in his case fired this guy gets on you tube and starts blabing to whoever wants to listen and thats what got him fired
Melvin Young r
yea they wack i been stop messing with them
That was so mean of them.....I don’torder from them anymore....HA!
?
everyone wants dependable people, apparently this company has no shortage of people looking for employment, sounds like an in and out job , part time thing with no benefits etc.
Sorry hope you are bettwr
Why treat this job as a full time/ only job? This is just a small gig, not even a part time. People don't get confused with this gig. Amazon gives a fuck about you depending on this gig.
Diablofitness you can do it as full time I met a guy made $1,100 in a week you gotta catch em when the rates go up $72-$84
Paul Yeo, Jesus loves you.
Fucking bad habit tapping your phone just to reserve a block!
Amazon is getting sooooo rich off of you all. Let it go!!
People make a career from something not this job that hundreds are doing in your area. I just think it is pathetic,sorry.
My account was deactivated as it’s a part of fucking Amazon’s policy
You're not a person....you're a number. They don't care...it sucks.
Yeah that's really sucks huh I felt bad for you so I guess but you're saying that even you explain what happened they still don't give a shit what your stories are it's a doggy dog world out there and they will not hear of it
Dang man:/ Make a new account?://
Isaac Robles Don't see how he'd be able to get around that whole Social Security Number thing..?
Pretty much what amazon flex is starting to do to everyone. They really dont care. Haha so true, "Amazing customer service, outisde of flex". Hahaha
