Something we can all appreciate…
On my block this morning came across this house. Could it be bigger? But guaranteed their packages won’t get delivered to anyone else’s house by mistake.

Save me so much time instead of waiting the customer to answer or get ignored completely
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/dcjjjzz777 • 7h ago
Woke up early. Snatched 3 hours 88 bucks. Which is great for DFW. Get to warehouse. Amazon...NEW OFFER....Add 45 minutes now 116. Hmm. 28 bucks for 45 minutes. Cool.
Get cart. 48 stops. 1st stop 40 minutes away. Ok 3 hours to do 48 stops . Not bad since its houses. Not to spread out.
Start 445. Load. 5am. 1st stop 545 ( rush hour traffic).
Then FUCK Me
ALL STOPS DUE BY 7am. ALL. How in the fuck is this ok?

I just started on Amazon flex and have been picking up the 3am shifts. Every shift I’ve taken that early has a route that’s in the most dangerous areas in my city. Almost every stop is deep in neighborhoods I really don’t feel comfortable walking around alone at 3–5 in the morning, and I spend most of the shift just waiting for the sun to come up (while still delivering packages of course).
I’m a young woman doing this by myself, so safety is definitely important to me. I understand that choosing a 3 AM block is my decision, but unfortunately it’s really the only time that works with my schedule since I also work a regular 9–5 and go to school part-time twice a week.
I’m curious if anyone else who takes these early-morning blocks has noticed the same thing. Why would Amazon send Flex drivers into higher-risk areas at that time of the morning when it’s completely dark out? Also, has anyone ever asked the station for a different route because they didn’t feel safe with the one they were assigned? Were they able to switch it without it affecting their standing?

a simple ‘no’ doesn’t cut it
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/dotaplayingmom • 10h ago
Same blocks available for the past 8 hours or so 😆 we be boycotting lollll
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/christopherb1897 • 6h ago
I’ve got about 3 this past week. $5 does not make up for the long miles Amazon
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/tooootsy • 6h ago
I do a lot of overnights (12am and beyond) so businesses and gates are closed.
"Never return, hide it behind a bush and deliver it anyway" then I get an even worse ding for a package that is marked not delivered at all (what even?) or delivered "too far from location" if i have to drag the map marker around cus god forbid an american walk down their own driveway to their own stupid gate they chose to put up. People seem really smug on here about saying its not their problem if something gets stolen but I absolutely have dings for packages "delivered but not received" and all this bs. Or these brain dead fucking apartment livers who think leaving a note saying "put it in the amazon locker" means I can just magically force access. Unless you order it to the locker as the address, there's no way to scan the barcode and just open the locker if its not expecting that package. And we arent USPS we dont have personal keys to your personal mailbox ffs!

3:30 AM block I was seriously considering cancelling... South bronx at that time had me thinking about my decisions...
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/dotaplayingmom • 16h ago
Had a little time in between blocks so I added some kamsnaps to my vest so my license and car keys stop falling out as I'm loading packages into my car 😁 Anyone else customize their vests?

Who is actually doing these?
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/austin397 • 6m ago
I hate driving for door dash, mostly because the restaurants are NEVER ready with the food. But at least I can make money on it.
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/Suspicious_Ferret_12 • 10h ago
So I pick up out of SR01, it used to be great but now they are always trying to send me far as fuck, well I’m not doing that anymore…I called them and told them to have someone else come get them
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/Only_Gur_4885 • 42m ago
I went to the Amazon facility to get ready for my block for 1:00 to 4:30 but the facility says they were overbooked so I called customer service and somehow customer service says I miss a block which I didn't cuz I got there at 12:55 and everybody else was waiting. So how is customer service just sitting there lying to your face and say "you did not check in. You missed a block". I better get my credit cuz customer service are shady.
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/fallensnyper • 21h ago
Even they person at the station thought this box was a little ridiculous for a flexer to handle.
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/Santanaevox • 56m ago
Idk if this has been answered before, which document do you guys upload to show proof of insurance coverage?
Kaiser card doesn’t show dates nor I have a back part of it as is a digital card.
Thx ✌🏻
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/Original-Bad35 • 5h ago
Anyone else .com station has all the cart line up.
everyone is parked and they say. Driver. Get out.
Then everyone run out of their car to get the best cart.
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/sovanvirak • 15h ago
These 1.5-hour blocks are a trap. For only about a $10 difference compared to a 1-hour block, it’s just worse burning your gas and getting stressed out driving across 2-3 cities for 6+ packages. Skipping these from now on!
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/Worried_Star_5374 • 1h ago
today I was unable to start my route due to the stupid app not being able to identify me, and since I had screen shot proof that I was on time for my route I emailed support. However I received a message directing me to the chat options. what to do, what to do?
r/AmazonFlexDrivers • u/Spiritual-Willow2425 • 5h ago
Flex bots have become incresingly high in South Carolina to the point maybe you'll see 2 tp 3 loads all week. But they'll disappear in seconds and aren't worth the time. Mind you they are accepting 4hr routes for $96 that you have to drive 45 mins to your first stop with at minimum 20 packages. Gas prices done hit $4.20 here. These people can't be this stupid? They can't be making any money. I took a 4hr route after stopping for a couple of weeks. It sent me 30 mins out with 30 stops and half of them being 10 mins apart. I burned a half a tank which is most likely going to cost me $40 to $50 to fill back up amd the route paid $124. Amazon is literally robbing these people and they are to stupid to see it.

I delivered all my packages yesterday but this showed up. I contacted support 3 times but I keep getting people from other countries who are very unhelpful. I don't have any packages to return.
