- This video covers some situations that occur during your Amazon Flex route that are not discussed in the tutorial. Yes, it is a lengthy video and I am not a professional actor, but quite a few people have learned from these tips so I had to make a video to help out my fellow Flexers. Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my channel for more videos. Please leave some situations you have come across with your solutions and leave in the comments below.

This is one of the most useful videos I have seen on here. Yes its nice to know the pay and what to expect and amazon providing tutorials. However, you went into great depth of a majority of undiscussed scenarios. Great video keep it up love to see more in the future.
I'm only about 19 min in to the video but I'm so grateful I was led here. I too am in Washington state puyallup area so this helps me so much as I am a potential flexer as I just finished my onboarding today and am waiting for my pending info to go through. I truly appreciate the time you took to bless us with this video. Thank you so so much!
I really like your overall style of presenting and personality. The info was great and thanks for being so helpful!
Very detailed and thorough. Thank you. I’ve been accepted to make deliveries for the holidays. I haven’t made my first delivery yet. I’ll definitely use the tips you shared.
Thank you!
I’m new to it and your video has eased my anxiety!
Really great video . Best video I have seen so far . It covers all the points that any Amazon flex driver should know . Well done
I really liked your video how you explain the app & the problems you may encounter. This is very good things to know. I watched other videos and all they do is complain and not explain. Thank you

I did this last week for the first time and I liked it. Pretty cool
I wish I would’ve seen this before my first route. Great info. Thank you. One quick question which numbers were the route sequence indicators in the images you showed? Was it the ones in the yellow stickers?
My first day with Flex is today I am a bit nervous thank you for all the information
Just take your time and make sure you do everything right the speed and comfort will come
Hope you did well! It was my first day today for Amazon Fresh and I was completely lost once it came to making my first drop off because I didn’t know which packages belonged to which customer and it was a random word not the customer name. I panicked and called support but they weren’t helpful so started scanning random packages until one was accepted and grabbed the rest of the packages w that word. I was sooo stressed out but I survived 😅 how did your first day go?
How’d It go?
My first block is Monday. I'm a little nervous as well, but a little excited to do something new too.
Download the app several months ago but finally booked my first block for tomorrow after I get out of regular work eager and anxious
Thanks for the in depth walkthrough.
Thank you very much for sharing this. I found it very useful. 👍😁
I’m here from Memphis TN and this video is soooo true. It’s the same here in Memphis. Great video. You nailed everything.
I apply yesterday for Memphis but it said there's no site yet to work
Keep checking your email daily. I was on the waiting list 2 months . Then they emailed me.
I’m from Memphis to waiting on my route..what’s your ig I want to ask questions

@@CAliciaAldridge I messaged you on ig
great video! thanks for all the tips!
thanks for this video it was SO HELPFUL!!
Thanks for the info. I’m thinking of doing a gig job
I wonder if using your own GPS or Android Auto can help correct these mapping mishaps. Great vid! Good time-saving tips!
also from 13:18-54 you stack the orders from last stop at the bottom to your first stop at the top but at 14:15 you say the stop numbers aren't in logical order so that means you have to dig all the way through that pile in order to get to that package... not sure if you can get around that
Love the video! Evo icing!
Really helpful thank you 🙏🏼
Totally different procedure in Delaware at PHL1. Cars parked and flexers must go inside warehouse to pick up a cart of packages.
Thank you for this, I have my first block today at that distribution center. Just saved me a lot of unwarranted stress
Thanks very helpful 👍👌
I love your video thx , how many offers you getting a day and they call let you work 7 days ? I’m in New Jersey is different here
in which state you in ?
One question. Do you already have a set number of packages before scanning, or you just need to make sure that you have scanned everything on your designated cart. I mean, does it say 60 packages left to scan, or you just need to make sure that you have scanned whatever is available.
Thank you. 👍
so my question is if your block is 4-5 and you get there but there's a huge ling and its past 4 now does that effect you?
I have noticed as a DSP driver that it is 80/20 whether it is actually a box when it says box and plastic bag or envelope when it says plastic bag or envelope. The other 20 % consists of at least 20% wrong size (small instead of large etc)
Same
Gave me trust issues
I notice the "large" boxes aren't that large, that threw me off
Thank you
Great Video. One tip I can give a fellow youtuber is so lower your voice over volume. It's a bit loud
I just joined flex and yet to do my first delivery but while doing the steps to join flex the training videos I had to watch said to arrive 15 mins early and when the block starts to drive directly into the warehouse and there is a designated area for the block I accepted and I'm to scan the packages and go on my way delivering..it said nothing about waiting for other drivers to all come to a staging area(sorry if I misheard and its called something else) nor did they say there would be waiting for others to load their cars. Is it because I have what they consider a large vehicle and have a different setup entirely because odds of getting big packages are much greater? Is it just different setup depending on which state your working in? or has amazon flex changed that much?
How’s it been going so far
Question, when you pick up packages during your shift and you deliver them all. Do you have to go back to the shipper and get more until your shift is over?
U don’t ! The app will tell you to go back to the station if you finish 31 minutes before your block ends but u don’t have to go I called support and they told me that
@ivanmart135 so what you do? You just closed the app ?
Do you still take a picture,,,even there is a costumers infront of you,,,if there is a person the owner of the package when you handed that to them?
Hi. I want to work in Miami as an Amazon Flex driver. Can you still get a job as an Amazon Flex driver even if you city is not a recruiting city. Thx
So... It took me 40 minutes longer but finished them all by then, should I have called them to try to get more time /money? Today was my first shift
I’m anxious about starting. Does an employee bring your packages to you or are you supposed to go find your packages somewhere? Does it just depend on your center? I feel awkward not knowing what to do.
i work in a distribution centre and if you tell someone when you arrive that you're new, they should walk you through everything. they will bring a cart with your packages to your car.
@@DrullTheDestroyer1 I did start after being super nervous and it hasn’t been bad at all. Almost everyone at the distribution center is really nice.
Mine sends me to the hub that's 35miles away from my house yet there is one 10 miles away. Don't know why it does that.
YES I NEED TO KNOW WHY
And also, where is this warehouse located?
Yeah I hate when you have to wait for the all the drivers and you're done and ready to go . But it's a part of the process. Cause on my best day I can get the route done take a hour breaking and grab another route grab another route And get 2 or 3 routes in one day
Oh so you can only one at a time
@@actionjackson6117 yeah I'm guessing you can't pick up two Ralphs because I'm guessing if you was able to pick up two routes picking up the second route would be way early
By being available?? Or picking scheduled routes??
That's what I did today
On the busy days sometimes you can get a 1pm to 4pm...3hrs shift are the best..then finish and then grab a 5 to 8pm
I didn't know you can bring someone with you when you do Flex? Cool...
You can but sometimes they give you so much crap that no one will fit, and they may refuse to change the cart of packages for you
AIRPLANE MODE!!!!! Fucking hell yeah
Omg im in sumner Washington
Where to download the app
how do i sign up .
well I'm about to give it a try tonight's my first night out wish me luck
How’d it go?
@@rottihavr1 He died
@@crimpers5543 😅
6:58 It looks like DWA9 here lol
Could we sign up if we have a 2 door car
I’m not sure but try it and see
I think you could I work there and once I saw a Ford Mustang with 2 doors
Also, I had to ask a customer service person to repeat what they just said like 5 times everytime they said something. Thiiiiiiiiic accents but nice and understandable. I hate calling them
this man personality is marvelous and then
he goes pro and back it up in the coding! Can't ask for anything more! He’s handle #DARECRACK
I thought Amazon is not supposed to pull into driveways?
theoretically that's true. in reality it often doesn't make sense to avoid driveways. simple as that.
Can you quit amazon flex anytime you want? Do you tell them when you quit or do you just not select any pickups? I just want to try it as a part time job, if i dont like it, do i have to inform them that i quit?
You just don’t do it. You don’t have to do anything or tell them
i did amazon flex pre pandemic 2020 then stopped and just started again july 2022. i didn't pick up any blocks at all and wasn't deactivated.
In my state AZ..at all the hubs I've been to so far you park in a parking lot, go in and grab your packages and load your car yourself. Also no kids or pets are allowed to go with anymore😕 I understand though, I wouldn't want to leave my child in the car alone while I load and unload.
That makes zero sense you wouldn't want to leave them in the car while you can load and unload your car?....... how would they be alone if you're right outside the car and loading it up.
@@gameboy1984 It's not right outside where I have to park...there was nowhere to park yesterday so I was around the corner from the entrance. It was also 115 degrees so if you left a child in the car it would have to be running amd I couldn't visually see my vehicle while getting my packages. No way would I leave a small child alone in car running or not. If you drove through pick up like he did I guess it would be okay...but there are signs that say pets or children are not allowed to get out if the car while delivering which is one reason they changed their policy. What if you have an apartment and it's upstairs? Are you willing to leave a 2 year old or even older child in a car alone? It actually makes 100% to me. Unless you have a teen that can stay in the car and watch them it's not safe.
@@gameboy1984 My van has been packed also...no way the packages would fit with my child or children in there😅🤣
@@sarahnichols4253 must have a small car or a lot of kids. Or you live where it’s too hot. Everybody else isn’t going through this lol
@@charity9660 I have a large van...quite a few kids and it's 115 degrees in the Summer so yes to all lol
This 10 mm gone be on me 👍🏽
Why are all these "TECH SCAMMERS" on every platform?

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.
Tax deduction, and Adjusted Gross Income. Might be good terms to know. If you have a car that breaks down alot, then Appolo is correct. But if the car is reliable, then the tax benefits more than cover the costs of wear and tear.
@@ZoraPMC long hours for nothing?... You get paid per block.. I got 24k full coverage. On a throw away car.... Why not make them paying miles!!!!
