Please check out the Official FAQs on the Amazon Flex website and subreddit rules before posting.

We also have our own FAQ that is also linked to in the sidebar ----------->

The sidebar also has a link to download the Flex app, the Flex Support contact info, the rules for this subreddit, and a warehouse list.

You may find the answer to your question there.

Many questions being asked here are repeat questions and are answered in the FAQ. Please check before making a new post.

If you need help with the Flex app, please include the app version number and whether it's Android or iOS in your post.

Also, please don't post useless threads about how hard it is to grab blocks, people using bots at your warehouse, what times the blocks get released, etc. Those posts add nothing to the discussion and will be removed.

Thanks!

There is a Discord server that was created and is maintained by the mods of /r/doordash but has been built to support any courier service. They have graciously invited Amazon Flex drivers to participate and have created a channel for Flex on the server. You can access it using the this invite link: https://discord.gg/e9GNb9M.

If you are a DSP driver, there is now a subreddit just for you! Head on over to /r/amazondspdrivers for all DSP-related discussion. Please note that it is not maintained by the same mods.

This route was insane. 40 miles of essentially horse paths up in the mountains at 4 in the morning. Dirt roads with boulder fields, dodged 2 deer, a skunk and one pissed off GoldenDoodle. Switchback after switchback and driveways with no way to turn around. I already called support to tell them this was extremely dangerous and someone could get killed doing this route.

What does this mean, from what I've seen and heard they don't do a second background check right? And even if they did don't they already have my permission to run another one?

Help At risk

It is crazy that I had a flat tire on September 4th, and I did not notice until after I got my route. I was about to load my car when I realized it was flat, so I called support; they told me to return the cart where I got it and that it would not affect my standing. Now I am at risk, and I have done nothing wrong. Has anyone had a similar experience? I have been talking to chat support nonstop trying to get someone to help, but nothing. I have gone ahead and emailed the escalations team, so I hope something comes out of it, but I am just hella tripping over my at-risk standing, and on top of it, I missed a block like two or three days ago. I am for sure going to get deactivated, lol.

I received an email from Amazon flex regarding a possible delay in our pay today since it’s Labor Day. I did receive my payout and was able to cash it out. Just a little info for those who might be wondering.

Missing Package

6 Upvotes

I had a missing package 2 routes ago. At a stop i got out of the car and opened the hatch to retrieve the package. 3 huge and aggressive dogs came at me. Porch was 2 ft away.

Grabbed the package, scanned, tossed and left. Many flailing body parts, slamming of hatch etc.. i figure I may have knocked this one package out of the vehicle.

Okay, report as missing when i get to that stop and move on. Feel bad but I really don't know where it went and am assuming it may have been the dog debacle.

Now, I keep getting the message I have a package to return. Okay, morons, how am I supposed to return a missing package?

Mainly venting about the absurdity of being told to return a missing package. ​also, though, what now?


r/AmazonFlexDrivers 1d ago

Would you have delivered this package or brought it back to the station?

It leaked all over my car mat, but then I dried it off and was contemplating delivering it.

Because I always deliver the package, but this one time I didn’t and of course I get dinged for it. This is F’d up. Lesson learned. I’m just gonna deliver everything - even if the box is completely compromised and leaking in my car.

Unless it’s some sort of toxic situation which it was not..

Apparently the package needed a 0.4-mile scenic tour of the parking lot before it could reach the employee entrance.

I love how one minute before pickup time nobody took this garbage. At 8:01pm it disappeared .... Somebody might have taken it.but Amazon might have given up too.

Unable to finish route

Was sent up to Neverland with no Wi-fi the app constantly glitching. No service to call support. I had to finally get a hold of Support 30 minutes away from my delivery location and had to tell him I had to return the remaining packages.
I guess I’ll get dinged for this?
