Two crucial things Ben... book your slots next time but more importantly IMO work out your fuel used! Insurance and car running costs aren’t really overheads because we pay for them regardless, but the cost of the extra fuel you use on the job probably knocks quite a bit off your earnings. Would be interesting to see exactly how much!!
This video is awesome, it looks fun to work on Amazon delivery. (I've done pizza delivery at night time and the amount of people having parties with music blasting and frustration it causes trying to get them to answer their bloody door!)
Beaut car😍. I drove the 2018 118d last year for about 2 months when I had it as a courtesy car and I fell in love with it. Now I'm doing all I can to save to get the 15 plate. Hope you enjoy the car, you've worked hard for it!!
You're doing what taxi drivers do when boasting, quoting your turnover as your earnings. Using cash basis accounting, simply count your mileage and deduct 45p a mile (upto 10,000 then 25p per mile) this will give you your earnings.
This was such a good video, you can tell that so much effort has gone into the videos and not many UA-camrs do this. Definitely my favourite UA-camr. Also I believe that it is a pretty good job however you use so much petrol so I think that a lot of that money is going into petrol.
This mans a genius he gets a job, makes money and then makes a popular video series which makes him more money, what a G his parents must be soo proud :D
its better to not have the seats folded flat, you can put all the late deliveries in the boot, and middle deliveries on the rear passenger and the first 5-10 packages on the front passenger. With the seats folded flat it will get all mixed up.
Well done monster legs Ben I remember I left home at 16 and struggled to pay the rent with 5 part time jobs, whilst finishing my apprenticeship it's good to see young people have access to flexible working, very honourable
5 part time jobs with an apprenticeship? I can afford a flat in London with just an apprenticeship. That apprenticeship must have sucked if they didn’t pay you well.
I do Amazon flex in NYC and its even harder to get shifts but I usually make $1.5k a week with about 20 hours we have 4 amazon flex warehouses in NYC with 2 more in long island and 1 in yonkers. I recommend it to anyone that has a car and lives close to a amazon warehouse. And they dont take out taxes!!
For everyone saying he should do it again. I used to manage drivers at a agency which hires full time delivery drivers and from doing that i spent alot of time in the depot and understand how it works. Its not worth your while. Dont get me wrong sometimes you will get slots that are worth your while and you will finish in 4 hours but if you average out the amount of time you work, fuel costs, costs of wear and tear on your car, milage etc then your lucky if you make minimum wage. Your better going and doing food deliverys and spend your time finding a place that i really busy. I know a boy who worked out what he averages doing a saturday and Sunday night 6 hour shifts and he averages out at £200 a shift
1:45 numberplate in clear sight. Please note that you can find someone's address using their numberplate as well as previous places where the car has been spotted. For those who need the numberplate to copy and paste for some odd reason: FV65 XRE.
So did Adrian Flux know you were delivering for Amazon? A lot of drivers don't bother with it which is fine... until something happens and they pull your cover and you're screwed! Proper "delivery" insurance costs a lot which should be factored in to your earnings.
NEVER follow the suggested route... ALWAYS tap map, see all locations and then use your brain to make the decision of how you are doing the route. Otherwise you will always have to go back on yourself as system loves to send you back to where you have already been. Put all postable parcels in the passenger seat, boxes in backseat/boot.... why? that way you wont have to get out of the car to look for "postables" as you can store them like DVD's at the front.
Great video and valuable insight. I had a pretty terrible experience having my car insured with Adrian Flux, crazy over-priced and very difficult to get them to match a quote that was a LOT cheaper for the same cover - so I'm sorry you had to partner with them... I'm just hoping they're better these days? Congrats on the new car as well dude!
Hi Ben have to say I love this series especially love all your other videos too. It theses I find extremely intreatsong because it is about everything we don’t see all the things that happen behind the scene keep it up your content is brilliant thanks for always putting a smile on my face and always being very inspiring ❤️❤️😊
I agree with everyone else on re-doing the video with booking your blocks as it'll at least give someone a good indication as to how much you can actually make in a week. Great video though, got one more sub!
Subbed for this series, watched the Deliveroo one because I was curious as to how it worked. Informative and interesting - thanks for taking the time to do it I'm sure these videos take a lot more effort than a Chubby Bunny Challenge or something.
I believe the customer has to set a 'safe place' for the parcel to be left, otherrwise, it'll be returned and they try for delivery another day. It makes sense really! By saying to leave it in a safe place, you essentially agree to "I won't complain if it's stolen" :)
@@VoxelLoop Done that job for a year but not like him, i was actually working 6 out of 7 days with proper routes not blocks that he gets.Proper routes meaning 200+ parcels each day with stop between 110 up to 180.For guys like us whether you have a safe place or not we're gonna find one and leave it there.I will either chose neighbor and write down where i left it and also leave you a note.That's it.And no i was never leaving the parcels in front of the door.People take it.I was just hiding it.
I don't shop on Amazon, I don't sell via amazon, I don't work for Amazon - but every month, Amazon pays me fat sums of money... I make stuff Amazon needs in its logistics. Amazon is my customer. It's absolutely the best way to make money with Amazon... be one of their suppliers.
I used to do the same thing. For the block in which you went over your allocated time. You can email support and tell them you went over by however long they should compensate you for the extra time. Especially if it wasn’t your fault. Also I amazon cover your insurance whilst your on the job anyway.
Instead of marking down as undelivered you should’ve just left the parcel somewhere safe and put those amazon paper slips and tell them where u left the parcel in that way u don’t have to go back to depot and give the parcels back you could’ve just went home my brother is an amazon driver and that’s how it works basically
So... you won £200 in a week... But you put diesel three times, if you put the same amount all the times it makes £150 expense in Diesel... So you just won £50 in a week work Doesn’t sound good at all :/
You end up working for less than minimum wage when you take into account your fuel, extra insurance required and wear and tear on your car. Plus you are effectively classed as 'self employed' so have to pay your own holiday pay from these wages..... Just another person ripped off working for amazon
Laurenelizo the running part is optional, but all you need to do is drop the package in a safe location, take a picture, knock, and turn around leave. You do not have to personally deliver each package to a resident unless the package says to do that. It’s ultimately up to you if you decide to wait on people to receive the package, it might well lead to less stolen packages - but can also double the length of your block.
I was waiting for you to break down the time spent, cost in petrol, wear and tear on your car.. You know, the things that would help others judge if the job is worth it. This entire video was worthless without the analysis at the end,
Should I try do it again but actually book all my slots 🤔
Yesss
How much did ur fuel cost for the werk?
Week*
Yes 😄
Definitely would be good to see how much you make with like 2 blocks a day so
the best youtuber , you can tell that a lot of effort goes into these
Frr 🙌🏻
Is this because he takes 47 years to upload them
But he copied memeulous
Nvm
yeah, like I can't take my eyes off the screen for one second then I would of known that I missed out on something
Thumbs up if you want a part 2 that shows him doing it the proper way with the slots!
It was really cool seeing how the whole delivery process works, great video Ben!

Do you not need special insurance? Technically it’s using your private car insurance for commercial gain
I'd just like to clear up that I was joking when I said someone got fired ffs hahahah
Ben Morris I was dieing when you said that lmao
wait some people thought someone actually got fired *_lmfao_*
Yo does ur new car have ac?
Ben Morris my mate works for amazon and he gets average 550 week after reserving
Bull shitting
This video is awesome, it looks fun to work on Amazon delivery. (I've done pizza delivery at night time and the amount of people having parties with music blasting and frustration it causes trying to get them to answer their bloody door!)
Thats when the union of saliva/snot and pizza occurs - no one delays delivery driver Kamal
Flash light on the window/ door while knocking and calling, someone will see it eventually 😂
Cant wait to watch!!
Love the killer editing!
Can you do a video doing paid from home jobs, when you get paid to do surveys etc
omg yes, good idea. I want him to do that because i want to do the job but i feel like im gonna get scammed.
Sometimes its like 10p p/survey

Enjoyed the video but I think you should make a part two and do it the proper way so we can see the pay difference!

Do a week of doing Fiverr gigs
Like to make him make the same video but do it the proper way to get a real amount of work
How does it feel knowing you are a better youtuber than your brother at this point
this dude deserves 1M subs asap, probably the only UA-camr that puts a lot of effort. Very unique with these ideas, keep it up man!
This is what UA-cam is about - you work so hard at these, and it's so entertaining!
I’ve been doing it for about 4 months. Only take 3.5 and 4 hour blocks. Usually get done in 2/2.5hrs....works out to be about £20 an hour after fuel
That's pretty good going
What ur total earnings
can you claim fuel expenses to the tax man?
Didn't know you were uploading but sick vid and congrats on going from a mini to a BMW
Please can u do a part 2 to see how many more shifts u could get would be very interesting. XX
This mans a genius he gets a job, makes money and then makes a popular video series which makes him more money, what a G his parents must be soo proud :D

Can you work at fast food restaurants like McDonald’s?😂

Yeah but where there’s a will there’s a way😂
Big Aj he could have a mini camera 📷
It would be pretty pointless as McDonald’s is fixed to pay so we would know what he’s going to earn before he even completes the week
Yes
1:59 I literally got an instant stomach pain when you showed the wheel. I did that once to some aftermarket wheels I bought and it still haunts me
One idea for this is to be an amozon flex driver and and Uber. Once you have finished your parcels you go on Uber for a couple of hours

How much did u spend on fuel??
Love the series keep them coming.
It doesn't matter Amazon pays him for it
Chloem 776 they dont
Chloem 776 its like £9 per hour but nothing extra for fuel
Chloem 776 no you don’t get paid for fuel.
Its a trick to make it sound good from these multimillion pound companies, if you minus the fuel cost you average £9ph or even less

Can you buy yourself a phone case or screen protector?
But apple logo
there are almost all cases with apple logos or apple logo cutout
This is why i use the Anker full phone case, still looks brand new after 3 years

Good video bro, very informative. I didn't even know Adrian Flux was still running! I used them YEARS ago when i first started driving! Lol👍🏾👍🏾
imagine ben turning up to your house dropping you off your amazon parcel LOL
I actually work for Amazon I basically get the same day packages onto certain routes and those routes go out to a single “amazon flex” driver
So underrated , Ben ur bare creative bro hopefully u get more attention
I like the fact that you kept it real, I loved watching the video 💪🏾

Actually ❤️ your videos!
"Drop, knock, and run" is the way you do it. You don't have to deliver the package to a person.
Really? So take a photo and run? Drop, knock, photo, run?
Laurenelizo the running part is optional, but all you need to do is drop the package in a safe location, take a picture, knock, and turn around leave. You do not have to personally deliver each package to a resident unless the package says to do that. It’s ultimately up to you if you decide to wait on people to receive the package, it might well lead to less stolen packages - but can also double the length of your block.
Laurenelizo in my area it’s the same thing all delivery services do. Most don’t even knock.
You just bought a car in the middle of the vid just like that 😂😂
as someone who drives a manual in London I can agree that it is so stressful!

Thx for the package just noticed my dad answer the door to u I should of got a autograph 🤣🤣🤣🤣
