Always looking for ways to speed the process! Make sure you’ve gone to the bathroom before you arrive re-loading! Pack a lunchbox, water and snacks, like you’re going to a real job. Phone charger, of course. Bring a fat, black Sharpie pen to mark boxes. I’m experimenting with marking them alphabetically, rather than addresses, putting a large first letter of the last name on the corner of each box, then dividing the stack between 2 back side doors and hatchback of my suv. S, I ca see a whole stack with the letters all facing me. Envelopes go in a laundry basket a-z, like files in my passenger seat.
I train drivers to ring the bell AFTER they finish taking the pic and swiping. Ring bell and walk away. The drivers are NOT hired to greet the customer. I myself don't want to drop what I'm doing in my house to find a driver standing there handing me a package. Waste of driver's time to stand there and wait.
I agree with everything your saying but I know the Amazon official training videos before a new driver can deliver packages, they train the driver to ring the bell and wait with package in the hand and smiling. Then to hand the customer the package put in app handed to customer or the household members name. I worked for Amazon as a seasonal driver out Fresno ca delivery station. I help lunched that delivery station off the ground. My van was the first van to leave the station with packags, I think it's called DF2. But unless they changed their training because this was back in 2018. I know a isuee with that station was drivers would ring the bell and wait too long. Even some driver thought it was rude to ring bell and leave package with out waiting for the customer to greet the driver and receive the package in person.
Yeah, it help alot. I don't write the full address just the numbers. For example if the house is 800 Miller way st. I will just write 800. But once you found your package just double check its the right address because theirs been few times where two stops will have the same numbers but different streets. Thanks for watching my video
@@michele18schmidt I'm glad to hear you were able to get your delivers done faster. As far as the envelopes go, yeah i agree they can be hard to find at times. I usually just keep them in the passager seat in the front next me so they dont get mixed up with boxs in the back but even doing this they can still be hard to find at times but least doing it like this you dont have to worry about pulling boxes out of your car to find a envelope under it. I hope this helps .
I never ring doorbell to hand deliver to a person unless the directions instruct me to do so. Rarely rarely do I ever see that. I'm guessing that 95% of my packages get placed at the front door and picture taken. I will often go ahead and ring the bell just to alert them that there's a package. I've been flexing since Nov 2019 and I can remember only a couple times I EVER went over my block time. Customarily I complete a 3 hope route in 1-1/2 to 2 hours. I just finished a 3-1/2 hour route in 2-1/4 hours.
I worked for Amazon as a seasonal employee during the holidays as a delivery driver. Part of their official training is they tell their driver to ring the bell and wait for customers to come out and hand the package to them personally. So I seen many many drivers who wait extremely long times for customers to come out. This ends up hurting them because they wait to long. I been on rides longs with others drivers and have done what they call "rescues" I seen this as was a common issue at my delivery office.
Early birds that show up get further routes. Going in last give you more of a local route. This has been my experience so far. Just don't show up late. Drive safe !!
Man, I get there 15 mins early, they don't let us into the warehouse 15 to 30 mins late, then once we fill our cars, we have to wait until everyone has filled their cars, the other day, we left the warehouse 45 mins late.
Same thing happened to me in one of the warehouses in Chicago. All because they fucked things up in their system. And we all had to wait inside the warehouse
Thank you, I had it with these people at the warehouse so back in April I found a job with Medspeed, I don't have to drive my own car anymore, I drive a company car now, I have saved so much money and I love the job.
All the wear and tear on one's car. Gas is not paid, long hours for nothing. This is what happens when an employer is abusing people. Get unionized, and conditions will change.
sorry I just seen this comment. but if I understand you correctly, you want to change the city your delivering in right? Just call the support for amazon flex and ask them to change your city.
Hey I love your video but where are you in which state ? I’m in New Jersey so if I do 3-4 hours one or 2 blocks every evening with flex how much you think average I can make ? Thx
I'm not exactly sure because pay rate is different depending on the location. But I'm guessing any where from 120 to 160. I think the best thing to do is to try it out and see if you like it. Also this will give you idea of how much you will make in your area. You will be able to find out if it is worth it or not.
Thanks I'm at risk of being deactivated. I called support and nothing they can do. The app said to return the remaining 14 packages and support confirmed. 3 days later I called dinged.
Just write the numbers only, for example address is 1512 orange st. Then just write 1512. Then stack the boxes in your car where it's the first thing you see. Like I would stack them in my back seat. So when I opened the back door all the numbers will be facing me. So I would just instantly grab the box that I needed. This eliminates time wasted searching for a box that can be difficult to find at times or coming back to a house you skipped because you ended up finding the box that you thought went missing. Try it out and see if it works for you. If doesn't then you do whatever you think works best for you.
I forgot to mention occasionally you will run into places that have the same address number but different streets. For example one address might be 6736 orange st and another might be 6736 apple st. this is something you have be careful with when writing just the numbers. So just double check the label to be sure you have the right package. This is very rare that this happened but it does happen.
Marking on any and all mail constitutes as mail tampering which is illegal. Read up on the the governance in commerce. You cannot mark on mail parcels and mailpieces and packages without giving someone a reason to sue you because times are tough and they "need this lawsuit" (monetary win) if they learn this law then you're screwed.

Thank you for the first tip, I never thought of writing the numbers on the boxes, this will save me time.

@@drivehardearnhard6574 I plan on trying this next time I deliver for Prime. I was expecting a lot of offers from "Prime Days" but it didn't happen.
I did this tonight and wow, it saved time. I had over 20 envelopes, any suggestions on finding them quicker?

I put my envelopes and small packages in a large tote and boxes in back seat. I don’t use my trunk anymore

Good to know
yup, when they see me pull up early and with my SUV they have always given me the furthest route and route with biggest packages
Man, I get there 15 mins early, they don't let us into the warehouse 15 to 30 mins late, then once we fill our cars, we have to wait until everyone has filled their cars, the other day, we left the warehouse 45 mins late.

Wow... here's the downside.
Call driver support through app let them know they pay you extra
Thank you, I had it with these people at the warehouse so back in April I found a job with Medspeed, I don't have to drive my own car anymore, I drive a company car now, I have saved so much money and I love the job.

stupid comments like these is what happens when stupid people think that we're employed by Amazon smh
Brother how I change the pick up location on app thy said there aren’t any delivery site in your area looking for new delivery partner at the moment
sorry I just seen this comment. but if I understand you correctly, you want to change the city your delivering in right? Just call the support for amazon flex and ask them to change your city.
I have a question bro...if I kno I'm not gna finish delivering my packages in my scheduled time block...do I need to call support or just finish up
Call support, and let them know. They will most likely have you take the packages back to delivery station.
Hey I love your video but where are you in which state ? I’m in New Jersey so if I do 3-4 hours one or 2 blocks every evening with flex how much you think average I can make ? Thx

So does your time start at the first delivery oh how does that work
Yeah, I believe once you pick up all your packages.
So what happens when you finish your flex block? Do you get more packages again after?
Nope your done

Goodstuff

Lol..good one!
Thanks I'm at risk of being deactivated. I called support and nothing they can do. The app said to return the remaining 14 packages and support confirmed. 3 days later I called dinged.
Dont you waste more time writing the addresses??
Just write the numbers only, for example address is 1512 orange st. Then just write 1512. Then stack the boxes in your car where it's the first thing you see. Like I would stack them in my back seat.
