Can depend. All comes down to how far they send you. For example, somewhere close by is usually around 35-40 parcels. Medium distance is about 20-25. I’ve done a 3.5 hour one before where i had 4 parcels but travelled about 60 miles away

@@tommywills thanks mate 👊

Alhamdullilah thank you brother

Only done a few, found its less drop offs but more driving (in my area anyway)

@tommywills the one I go from in London is decent, hardly any miles driven. About 10 miles total. I had one with 1 drop off today and it was literally next to my house. Only issue with fresh is, people load of cases of water. Can be an issue with dropping off to blocks of flats. I gues it helps me keep fit so I dont mind.

I’ve also found some UK youtubers talk in US dollars when talking about money, which also puts me off a bit 😅

🙈🙊

Hi mate, yes i do @tommywills4

That’s quality

Probably be less than that at the end of the year. You can claim 45p per mile for the first 10k miles you do

Exactly mate. It’s easy work aswell

@@tommywills Is it easy to sign up to it mate?

@@scottzu-5186 yea kind of. Waiting list takes a while though

Thank you man! Appreciate the sub, welcome 🤝🏼

Prefer this over warehouse job personally

It’s honestly not that bad. And like any job, theres give and take. I don’t have an expensive flashy car, so I’m happy to use it to earn some extra money each month. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you 🤷🏻‍♂️

I do this in London, I get like 4 stops max during a 2 hour block and usually drive no more than 10 miles. 42 quid for every 2 hours, hardly any fuel consumed. Tax can be recouped via expenses. Its honestly not that bad. Rather spend a few hours out of the house than spend another minute around the wife during the weekends.

Class from her

I could easily get a shift every evening, however it goes through quiet and busy times. Quiet times people always accept base rate which isn’t good money. Busy times you can wait until an hour before the block starts and accept a surge price which is worth it. Can’t work more than 24 hours a week, but if you just do evenings, you’ll be able to get a shift a day easy. Just depends on whether you’re happy taking base rate or not (i wouldn’t)

So far really enjoying it. I want a slightly wider lens though soon, nothing flashy. Any recommendations?

Cheers mate! Welcome 🤝🏼

So less than what I made after tax?

Better than nothing

Gotta keep refreshing and be quick to get slots

Hard to calculate that unfortunately. Cars naturally depreciate anyway regardless of doing Amazon flex. All down to the type of car aswell, so wouldn’t be helpful or relevant to most people. Best to keep it separate

@@tommywillsdepreciation you’re correct os hard to calculate but you can try and use a cabby / taxi driver method whereby you have to assign a certain amount of your daily expenses to vehicle maintenance. Something like 10%-15% should be good so your £44 would have been £38-£40 or something. You should definitely take your vehicle running costs into account regardless of if you have a main job or don’t use this money for your car service or mot etc. the reason is because this is where the majority of your wear and tear and mileage will come from. Cool vids and just found you ❤

@@smartnothard2400 I may start doing this. thank you man ❤️

You can only do max 24 hours a week, so it’s definitely just a side gig

Thank you 🤝🏼

Depends on the person I guess 👍🏼

you have a well paid job i take it.

@@Supraboyes not really let’s be honest if you all stood together I’m sure you could get more for your time ect ect unfortunately the lack of proper representation and collective bargaining means you get the scraps that Amazon want to give you..after 35 hours should be time half , after 6pm double time minimum plus a mileage fee paid to you for using your vehicle.. Hopefully things improve

What I do is contact customer. If no answer, i try a neighbour. If no luck, then you can press undeliverable and you have to return it back to the depot after block or by 10am the next day. Make a note of the parcel number etc as sometimes the customer complains saying they didn’t receive it which then affects your driver score. Amazon will then email you to let you know that ‘1 of 35 parcels were not delivered’ for example. That’s where you then reply to the email with the parcel number and details and outline that you contacted the customer and tried neighbours. 9 times out of 10 they will clear it from your driver score. That’s my experience anyway

Thank you! 1000 subscribers (although i think it’s 500 now, not sure) 4000 watch hours in the last 12 months Or theres a Shorts method of 10 million views in last 90 days

No you pay for your own fuel

I prefer the lanes in the nighttime because you can see the headlights from further away, but finding house numbers are an absolute nightmare in the dark!

A Amazon flex driver here mate. Insurance is done for the hours you work with a company called inshur. They work with Amazon and you pay per hour the time it takes you to complete your block. To ballpark it, assuming you have a motobility car that's only a year or two old at the most your looking at about £1.20 give or take. Per hour. Just be careful if you do it in a motor bility car mate if they catch on it will be removed from you

Any complaints will be linked to each QR code/Parcel. When you contact customer service the first thing they will ask the customer is what product it related to

Think you’ve done it for me 😂

So negative. You'll never do anything. There's a cost to anything.

@@williebobs3830 I would say realistic - thumbnail says £20/h then he said after taxes and NI is like £15 - but he forgot about ultra expensive car repairs after he will do like 10.000-20.000 ANNUALLY it will be down to like £5/h depends on car and how driven if accidents after hours and HOURS in car as a job

@@williebobs3830 oh and I was mobile Carer - I know what I say when it comes to drive own car as a job

@@williebobs3830true, but that doesn’t mean you can just ignore it either

Can do 24 hours a week maximum, theres always weekend blocks and you can do more than 1 a day as long as the start and finish times don’t overlap

Admiral are the only company to accept H&W (top up) insurance. They also sell their own version. Its very annoying to be honest that they’re the only ones in the UK for flex drivers

@@tommywills Thank you, it's helpful for others to know and see this. I asked my insurance if they did business insurance for couriers to see if I could get it cheaper than what I had and they immediately voided my insurance and gave me 7 days to either stop doing courier work (to cancel the cancellation) or cancel with them and go with someone else (I had top up insurance with Inshur). I was asking a genuine question, but it's saved me a nightmare if I ever had a crash. It was Hastings and it was only specified on 1 line, no more than 20 words in a 93 page policy document.

@@mathew5162 i’ve been with Hastings before when i had a crash a few years ago. Difficult company to deal with and they accepted liability before evidence was even collected 😂 decided to lose a few years no claims just to get the ordeal out the way

I've got my insurance with Privilege, they allow top up insurance.

I had to apply twice as they messed up my first application, but the second time i got accepted straight away. Was around october time though so prime day and xmas was round the corner

For me it was fairly quick but it depends on where you live. I also applied for Deliveroo and that was ages

You can do a self assessment yourself but i use accountant for other things so doesn’t cost me any extra

@@tommywills ah, good to know. never even heard of amazon flex before seeing your vid through the youtube algorithm. might give it a go.

@@Fezzy976 yea give it a go man, i enjoy it

@@tommywills you reckon someone could do this fulltime?

@@Fezzy976 can only do a maximum of 24 hours of delivering a week unfortunately. Its definitely made for a side hustle

Nowhere else to leave it and customer specified behind wheelie bin if not in. Always follow the delivery instructions otherwise I get penalised

@@tommywills oh sorry this wasn't directly directed at you. If that's the delivery directions then yeah. I have mine set to shed and it's 90% left by the front door 😫

@@nodwaa9227 yea definitely shouldn’t be doing that 😂

@@nodwaa9227 You have a shed in the front garden?

@@sie4431 absolutely not 😂Hence my frustration
