I do full time amazon in the prime vans, the routing in the app is terrible i suggest to not follow it as you will waste your time. Look on the map and choose which deliveries to do yourself that makes sense instead of driving up and down for no reason
To change things up a bit take a trip to another city, town next door or even further away and treat it like a day out. If far away away you could stay at a motorway hotel when its a cheaper rate and make a day of it delivering and taking in the site :)
Always ready for an episode! ❤
Reason why the early afternoon routes are numbered like that is because theyre like the excess of the main Amazon drivers, bit of advice for packing them, they have a code on that yellow sticker like A2.3 etc, if theyre 2 different codes split them from eachother, makes it alot easier 🙌🏻
Amazing as always mate, glad you're back
Was waiting for another one. Cheers! Keep them coming.
Devon and Cornwall is a nice place. Keep up the great work
Hi glad to see you doing more Amazon block 😀 great vlog and tips 👍
Just signed up today to Amazon flex today as i only work Weds to Friday in my full time job so may as well top my money up abit instead of just sitting on my arse 4 days a week! Hopefully they'll get back to me soon 👍
i'm liking my flex work at the moment. don't think i could do it full time driving the amazon vans all day though. 100+ drops per day D:
When did you record this... Food delivery has been awful in Exeter too lately but the last two weeks have picked up a bit... Why dont you give Exeter a go... Maybe do a video for freshers week?
Yes i agree for delivery is rubbish at the moment that's just no money to be made.
Is this a self employed job you do? I think amazon and uber should team up and give ebike food couriers (like me ) parcels to deliver, there'd be so much work in that.
You mention about the same day deliveries being numbered 1,2,3,4,5 etc but from doing amazon for a few years now they tend to be much further distances. Whereas the afternoon blocks that are not numbered 1,2,3,4 but say for example 210,211,213 are more localised and grouped deliveries. I prefer those ones. Im not complaining with the routes but I can smash those out in about an hour plus driving time. The 4 hour ones are all spread out and they take time to do.
Hi mate , could you do a video on how to sign up for flex & fresh & also all the food apps please mate ?
Annoyingly I signed up to, and was accepted quickly by Flex, last year but didn't get my insurance sorted until this month and going back to Flex I'm apparently no longer able to claim blocks. It let me apply for SW England though so clearly they need more people down there.
Cullompton is a good one for you and not a lot of traffic except that main road.
Poly bags in passenger footwell , envelopes and book folder passenger seats . Parcels stacked biggest to smallest on the rear seats . Helps me out doing this
They should open this up to bikers with maybe shorter routes/smaller packsgaes
The Sat Nav is a nightmare, its about 10 years out of date, will just send you round in circles and lose you at least 30mins on a route.
Really annoying! Amazon need to update it to an AI version i recon asap.
Also re your vehicle you will need it capable of soaking up Country lanes, Potholes, Gravel and farmland!
Ideally a 4/4 , People carrier, Van , Range Rover or Tractor would be ideal!
An ordinary car will need new suspension system within 6 months!
Been doing Flex for the last 3 weeks ontop of my full time work. Absolutely easy money. Routes are easy and i usually finish minimum 30 mins before im due to. Even got given a bag of popcorn and flavoured water today on my block
I was thinking of doing some myself but I also work full time and I’m not quite sure how it works with tax. Do you have to pay 20% of what you earn every time?
@@kylescott3420 You dont have to pay tax on the first 1,000 quid you earn. Its called the traders allowance i believe. Then after that i believe its 20%
Enjoy the content mate. Do you get paid petrol to get down to Amazon or is that included in the base fee? It’s quite a journey from Taunton to Exeter without being paid.
You need to get some Amazon bags for when you leave your packages in the rain.
Have you seen the insta 360 Go 3s? Shoots in 4k and it’s tiny, perfect for your baseball cap and weighs 39 grams… perfect 4 yr channel 👍🏼
Brother with insurance you use to cover uber delivroo just eat and Amazon flex ? Because Amazon stop working with Zego..
In the south east of you not constantly clicking your not getting a shift
same up north
Hi pal, I love the videos. I've just got into the gig business myself. Any advise on how to claim for mileage ect? I've noticed you take it off, then show your profit. I've seen conflicted ideas on how this works. Some claim you are taxed on everything and then claim back 40p per mile for 10k, then 25p for the rest. I've also just learnt that you need to prove your mileage. As you can probably imagine my head is spinning at this lol. Thanks pal.
Cheers mate. So my calculations at the end are purely to show my profit after expenses for the shift. They aren’t the numbers used for tax returns. Like you said, we get 45p per mile deducted off our taxable income. But in reality, I don’t spend 45p per mile on expenses. When it comes to tax returns, my income is the pre-expenses amount of income I’ve taken through the apps. Expenses are miles x 45p (then 20p after 10k miles). That produces your taxable profit, which is often less than the profit you’ve actually made which is good for us. Hope that helps!
@autohustles That helps massively, thank you. Do you need to prove your mileage to HMRC? Sorry for the follow up question!
Thinking of doing Amazon flex and want to know if it is possible to do like a “full” day of it? Would it be one massive block or could you go back to depot to get another block or is that not a thing?
You can do 24 hours per week only
Think it would be quite good if you done a vid over a full week and see a breakdown at the end
Agreed, it’s in progress 🙌🏻
What sort of car do you drive, looks like a Micra?
Bang on, perfect car for the job, looks like shit but can park in tiny spaces in town centre and gets decent MPG
Hi, Which car do you use for flex?
What's sort of insurance do you need
What insurance do you use?
Do you ever encounter dogs?
Not when they offer less then 15US an.hour
I like to have some faith in humanity and just leave parcels on doorstep 😅 it saves me time and in the epast two years haven't had a problem yet😂
I tried to get h&r insurance but they’re charging me £2.50 an hour for it because I’m young… is that worth it??
That’s rough man, but if it’s just hourly there’s no commitment so you can try it for a bit and see if you think it’s worth it!
