- Really enjoyable 5 hour route delivering for Amazon Flex. Encountered very few frustrations and finished significantly early! Enjoy the video and feel free to comment any questions you have regarding Amazon Flex.
It sucks.
Crap ton of packages that customers say they didn’t get.
You find out 3-4 weeks after you made the delivery that they never received it, causing you to get a lower rating.( you’ll never know what drop it was either)
Basically customers want their shit for free.
No defense can be taken on your account.
You used to be able to get some good pickups in the app if you were quick enough.
The app has a lot of bots now used by other flex drivers that snatch them up quicker than any human can.
You drive sometimes a very long way out to your delivery area and you spend a lot of gas and put hella mileage on your vehicle.
( dirt roads are unforgiving with potholes galore)
No shortage of dangerous areas to deliver to.
The pros …
The scenic routes are pretty cool.
Sometimes you can land one that’s 140.00-170.00 and it’s only like 20 packages.
No boss to report to or anyone infringing upon your freedoms.
Listen to whatever music you want.
As long as I have my pen and deliver all of my packages, I'd say I had a pretty good day over all no matter where I'm driving for flex lol
Sort the packages by driver aid number lowest to highest makes it a lot easier to find the package.
I hate the fog too. I laugh so hard when you curse lol. I be feeling like cursing too.
Good vid
There is a way to organize by stops saves a ton of time.
The miles to money ratio sucks. They always send me two counties over to make deliveries.
Here’s a good tip. Put your front seat as far back as it goes. Stack your boxes in the front seat and put the envelopes on the floor with the driver help numbers facing up. Oversized packages and medium to big plastic bags can go in the back. Use the driver help numbers to sequence your stops. A lot of the time small plastic bags will be listed as envelopes and small to medium boxes will sometimes be listed as envelopes. Hope this helps and good luck!
Customized boxes I will usually put on the dashboard if they are small, as well
If you’re doing flex the packages are numbered. If not you can use magic marker to number package. It saves you time. 46 packages in 5 hours? I wish. Normally 45 packages 3 hours.
I do flex in Minnesota, generally they give roughly 10 stops per hour unless it's way out in the country
45 packages take me 2 hours with Amazon Flex. Get creative.
@@tboneups I'm saying they GIVE 10 packages per 1 hour of block time. I'm not gonna pretend like delivering 45 stops always takes 2 hours but some are definitely quicker than others
@@tboneupshow? Still trying to reduce time
Hi! New sub here. What cameras are you using to record yourself and the road? I ask because I just got dinged for a delivery with DD and I'm thinking about filming to prove my deliveries. Cheers!
Welcome! Thanks for the comment. That's so unfortunate! I used to DD all the time, the camera I'm using is a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 so not very budget friendly but takes incredible videos
@@Colin.gallagher Your videos are super crisp. Good to know. Might be worth the investment. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
what happened, a squirrel shot across the road and the video abruptly ended! I was looking to forward the the recap.
The bags help protect packages from getting wet.
No they're just saving space on boxes. U can bags more then different shape boxes
You can charge your battery to 100%. The standard your adhering to the old way!!
My battery is probably clapped anyways lol
@@Colin.gallagher I plug mine in between stops of any distance apart otherwise I’ll never make it.
@@timothysmith7436 😂😂 I do that when it's dire
The more miles you drive the better off you are. How? - You can claim mileage when you do your taxes next year. The reimbursement is much higher than the cost of the gas. But I hear you say the car wears out much more when you drive a lot. This is where you are wrong. You are roughly running the engine for the duration of the block either way. The engine would much rather cruise at a steady speed than suffer in stop and go traffic. The other thing is, you will have much fewer packages with longer distance, so the strain on doors open/closing, seatbelt buckle, tranny shifting gears less is much lesser.
What did you make off this route?
I can't remember, I'll start including the prices in the videos!
Does Delivering So Much Packages Affect Your Standing Do Customers Lie They didn't receive Order
Honestly not really, as long as you snap a picture you're cleared. If you say you handed it to a customer but didn't then you could get knocked. I'll make a video about the standing system
