Hey Toni. I organize the Seffner by letter. A-F in the front , G-S in the backseat and the rest in the trunk. Its been really helpful for me. I always finish early. Another great video. Thank you!❤
One of the reasons I like going to the daytona beach warehouse is because all the packages have a sticker on them that says in plain english what their stop # is. It's a lot easier to sort that way. Though I don't always go by the order Amazon wants. Sometimes that route-determining algorithm is drunk!
I put packages 1-20 in my back seat right to left. The rest are in my trunk right to left also. I had 43 packages my first time. Finished a 4 hr block in exactly 3.5 hrs and made 98 dollars. Not bad!!!
I did Amazon flex for the first time yesterday and I organized them in the order they were being delivered. I got a 5 hour block done in 3 1/2 hours for $170.
I'm waiting on my background check, but I have questions. It seems there is a lot of scanning, like when you load your car, when you sort packages for delivery, and when you deliver. Also, there are a lot of QR Codes, Bar Codes, and Labels. How do I know which codes to scan and when?
Hey wassup I'm moving from new york to tampa I had signed up with Amazon flex in new york but haven't work for then yet I requested and got a transfer to tampa I would like to know if you can show me how to pick up from the Amazon facility hopefully one day I can meet u at the facility so I can watch how u do it
Good evening Toni! Hey I just went back active driving for Flex and live in Bradenton (Howdy neighbor). I asked for Sarasota but I'm not having any luck catching an early morning shift like Seffner has. Does Sarasota have early morning blocks or do I need to request to be switched to the Tampa Bay region? I'm East Bradenton and the Seffner location is about a 10 min longer drive from my house compared to the Sarasota center.
That is awesome! As far as I know, Deffner would be the closest sub same day (offers early and). They change the zones up because I used to see Sarasota and sometimes I would go there but when they separated the zones, I don’t see it anymore so you will probably have to switch to Tampa in order to go to Seffner.
Thank you for your tutorials, I don't know if you are supposed to say what the batch of deliveries pays, but can you say approx. how much (more-or-less) per hr. one can make with a similar type of batch and similar type of car.? (4 door sedan) Thanks again
*QUESTION for anybody who can legitimately help me regarding being an Amazon delivery driver : Today was my first day and it went absolutely horrible. I don't want to get into it but when the app has you make a stop for a delivery and there's also a few more deliveries on that same street name do you deliver each package then drive to the next address on that street and repeat the process or do you deliver each package by just walking? Might sound like a dumb question but on the phone they gave me the GPS is fucking horrendous. So hard to see exactly where the other stops are located on same streets or even a street over... It had me walk a package to a house that should of been closer to where I stopped because of the app said it was but it had me walking at least a block or so carrying a heavy package...* 😡😒
If at all possible, I drive to every stop, even if they are close together. The only time I walk is if I am in the city and delivering to apartments buildings where the is no public parking. If you have to walk, bring a big tote bag with you so you can put your packages in it and arent trying to carry them all. Also, the in app navigation can be pretty terrible so if I get confused, I type the address into google maps, it usually always gets me to the right spot. Hope that helps some!
Hello Ricky in the app start travel their a box to the right click on it this will take you google map I used this for my delivery then use the navigation that in the app if I run into trouble I switch to google hope this help
Hello! I've been doing amazon flex for a week now. I had trouble when delivering multiples packages to the same address any suggestions for that? please
They only have amazon flex in the evenings here in port saint lucie. I got a 4 hr block and made 98 bucks. Got it done in 3.5 hrs Where In Florida are you???
I’ve been getting late on the facility a lot. Not the 1st package just a late for facility. What can I do to avoid that? I literally get a route at say 1045 and I leave the lot by 1052. Am I missing a step in the app?
Hi GigMom I really enjoy watching you hustle on these platforms... However, watching this one with Amazon Flex you stated you delivered 32 packages but never said how much pay? Also, tax time do gig working have you paying taxes?
With logistics, they do it hourly by block since you never know what route you’ll get. For this block it was a 3 hr block that starts off at $54($18/hr) BUT I got it on promo for $63($21/hr). I got a different block the other day that was a 3 1/2hr block & only got 22pkgs. Most of the stops are on the same street or Neighbohood so it’s super easy. The pay varies according to how badly they need ppl. Once I got paid $120 for 3hr block!
We receive 1099-NEC(non employee compensation) forms at the end of the year, & pay taxes based on that, but With everything I keep track of, I itemize my deductions & have never had to pay.
My first delivery with them I went an hour over. It was dark, raining back country roads and signal was horrible 😫 but I wasn’t discouraged now I know what warehouse to avoid!
Lol I did my first block yesterday and EXACTLY the same issue... back private dirt roads, bad signal, horrible pothole ridden terrain, and the GPS doesn't do very well on private back roads with multiple houses. Needless to say, I finished an hour and 15 minutes late. But I emailed support and they adjusted my pay accordingly which was nice. I just hope my next block this week is in a normal neighborhood. 😅
@@NicholasWM2044 omg YES! So far the other blocks I’ve worked have been good since I avoid the warehouse that’s on the far end of town. The only one that did me wrong was a 3rd floor apartment complex with no elevator but 6 flights of stairs. Then I was on the wrong side so needless to say I got a good cardio session in 😂
I'm doing my first flex tomorrow and for some reason I'm so nervous. I read online at this location that everyone is ghetto but I also read they are nice so I guess it's up to each person's interpretation,(altho it is in a ghetto area). I'm doing a 5 hr block for good money so I'm worried about the workload...i hope I can organize it in a way that works like you did, thanks for the info...oh..and hey, where did you get the vest? I want something like that!
They give you the vests at the warehouse, so ask someone when you’re there. You will be fine, just worry about you when you’re there, no one else. Try to keep the packages in order by numbers, like 300’s in one area, 200’s in another & so on, IF too can. Sometimes, when its 4 numbers, you go by the last 2. Don’t be nervous, just pace yourself. Don’t do anything different than what the app tells you, first stop to last, & you will be fine. Fill up before you go & show up 15 minutes early. Good Luck!
@@GigMom Thanks, I saw a video that explained some about the numbers, so I think it will help...apparently, most, but not all the warehouses are actually numbering them in the order of the deliveries and if it has more than one package, the number next to it will change, like 1st order will say 1-(1) and then if it has more than one it will say 1-(2), at least that's how I understood it.
@@GigMom It went smooth, gave me 14 deliveries on a 5hr block that they said was only 4.5hrs worth of work and it ended up being ALL houses! It was super ez, only 1 hiccup that I figured out pretty quick! I even got done 15mins early, not bad for $90! I loved it actually, only bad thing was the drive, it was far, but as you know, all the deliveries are near eachother...spent about the same amount of gas and spent less time! i definitely will be doing it again! :)
oh...and the numbers thing didn't work here, it wasn't the same, but some girl was sorting here's by the first 2 numbers in the addresses, I don't know how she does that, I just did it by the first number...1-front seat, 2-back behind passenger, 3-behind me, 4 and up-in the back... worked great!
Yes. When I first moved here, I used my old licenses. Later when I got my new license, I almost got deactivated because when they re-ran the background check, they used the old license. It will save you a big headache if you do it asap!
Only on the apartments when it says to do so, or if the customer requests it to not be left alone & the app says bo recipient required. It’s a case by case basis.
Hi Toni. My only question (believe it or not, lol) is: Did you go the exact route order the app/map laid out for you? I have seen video after video of flexes changing the route order bcuz it will have you zig sagging and going back to an area you have already been. That's the part that stresses me...if I follow their order, would I finish in time. My first drive with Flex was logistics and it was a nightmare for me and very stressful ( bcuz of the navigation). Your thoughts?
I’ve seen those videos too and when I first started it was a nightmare too because I kept trying to go back to the map but when I actually follow the route they gave me there were no headaches. So I just follow the route they give me and I almost always finish on time or early.
@@GigMom Well thank you, that's good to know...I just might give it another shot on a slow week (there are always blocks for St Pete, but rarely for Clw logistics). Stay safe!
I just signed up and it says no blocks available, and I picked Amazon.com as were I want to deliver does that mean it’s the warehouse? I didn’t want to do Whole Foods ..when do blocks become available? I been approved for like 4 hours now but don’t see any work
Yes that’s a warehouse. The grocery deliveries are usually 2 hour blocks & packages are 3hrs & up. The blocks drop throughout the day at different times. I do see a lot of blocks drop super early like 2-3am. I hope that helps!
Hey just to let you know, whole food delivery you can earn tips. I would do whole foods if they had it in my location. You should do it and you can do multiple shifts everyday from what I hear. The regular amazin flex is just 1 shift a day for each person, at least in my area.
It depends on the shift, Amazon limits it to 8hrs/day 40/wk, even with the groceries, world wide. Whole Foods is my favorite but they don’t have the blocks available as readily. Usually only on instant offers. I’ve done a bunch of WF’s videos too!! The tips definitely make all the difference!
Exactly! This location is a sub same day which basically anyone in this area who orders Amazon for same day, next day or overnight delivery, will go through this warehouse.
Hmm… a 25 min drive for $20-$30+/ hr…I’d say it’s worth it, especially since I take blocks during hours that the other platforms aren’t available…..I know plenty of “masshole’s” and others who drive longer distances for less.
@@GigMom the time you drive , you could make 20-30 in your market , easily with half the work. Seffner is way more than 20. Don’t be mooshi moo and sit in the same parking lot every day….. bajajajaaaa and especially in Seminole of all areas …..
It is jarring to see this driver NOT wearing her seat belt strap; and taking both of her hands off the wheel while driving on the freeway and talking into the camera. Very off-putting.
I have been active on Flex since 2018 and this is a great video. Thank you for being positive and professional throughout your route.
Thank you!!
Hey Toni. I organize the Seffner by letter. A-F in the front , G-S in the backseat and the rest in the trunk. Its been really helpful for me. I always finish early. Another great video. Thank you!❤
I’ll have to try that! There’s 2 different Seffner warehouses, are you talking about the new one?
@@GigMom yes. Its the one you were at
I can tell from the background. I also saw those raincoats and asked for one. They are nice!
😂
Wonderful video! Was intimidated on my first logistics run but after this I’ll try it out again. Since then I’ve been only doing Whole Foods! Haha
I go back & forth with them both. Thanks!!
One of the reasons I like going to the daytona beach warehouse is because all the packages have a sticker on them that says in plain english what their stop # is. It's a lot easier to sort that way.

Not bad at all!
I learned a lot from this video! Don’t have Amazon flex but interesting to see!
Thanks!!
Thanks for this video. I only do Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh because you get tips. Logistics seems like more work. 🤣
🤷♀️ idk, they both have their pros & cons!
When you do Whole Foods or Amazon fresh…do your block consist of just one customer? Or is it multiple orders under one block?
Usually multiple orders under one block, but sometimes you get only 1 or 2
i wish i could do this job but they have nothing available near SC. Its upsetting their locations are only in 15 states.
Yeah it is… I’m sorry
I did Amazon flex for the first time yesterday and I organized them in the order they were being delivered. I got a 5 hour block done in 3 1/2 hours for $170.
Yup! That’s why I do it the way I do, it puts the. In order of delivery & makes it so much easier!
Thank you. Your video was very helpful.
You’re welcome, I’m glad!
I'm waiting on my background check, but I have questions. It seems there is a lot of scanning, like when you load your car, when you sort packages for delivery, and when you deliver. Also, there are a lot of QR Codes, Bar Codes, and Labels. How do I know which codes to scan and when?
Thank you for this video. I’m starting my first block today and I’m nervous I’ll screw up
You’ll be fine, it’s easier than it looks! I remember how nervous I was & then once I picked up my route & was on my way, it wasn’t so bad! Good Luck!
Thank you 😀 I’m new at this
You’re very welcome! Lmk if you have any questions!
Been on the waiting list for Amazon Flex probably over 6 months now.
Wow!

Yes, I always check that!
Hello! I've been doing amazon flex for a week now. I had trouble when delivering multiples packages to the same address any suggestions for that? please
If you look in the itinerary (lines at top left, then my itinerary) it will show you each stop
I was wondering do you wear a GoPro on your head for the videos going up to the house and dropping off the package?
No, I use my phone
They only have amazon flex in the evenings here in port saint lucie. I got a 4 hr block and made 98 bucks. Got it done in 3.5 hrs
Where In Florida are you???
Yes it used to be that way here too, until they opened up this sub same day warehouse !

I get it too even tho I’m not late. I think it’s because the time we take to sort, but I never get dinged for it.
Also I think it has something to do with the routes they give us being a bit late, not us.
I'm from Connecticut
Can I return a package to the station the next day when you are getting a new route??? Or do you have to go back just to return it that same day??
As long as you return it by 10am the next day you are fine.
they should provide them jackets
I kno right!
