Thanks for taking us along. Great edit also! ((Considering taking on Flex as we speak, this content is proving very helpful))
My pleasure 🤝🏼
If you see some of the deliveries are going to be awkward or too far away just don't deliver them, don't even attempt them, turn your Internet off as mark as at location or can't find address and it will let you make it as undelivered even if you ain't near the property. Saves you hassle and damage to your car, take them back to the depot and you still get paid
Ive just signed up - i wont be taking any base rates! People need to just stand together and not do £8 hour base rate may as well deliver pizzas ha ha
Thanks for advice
you probably think some people can afford to turn down work, some other person will accept at the base rate anyways
At the end of the video i do say it’s hard not to accept the base rate when everyone else is doing the same. Its a tough one
@@tommywills100% agree with this video. Getting surge rates is a case of knowing your depot and the times they get released. I drive a extra 20 miles to Edinburgh to pick them up. Just did a £73.50 for 3.30hr. likewise I have done a 2.5 hour for 40 and had one of the worst routes of my life (mid day shift) + 70 miles.
Thank you sir! Great info this. I will try avoid the base rates!
On other day I don't a shift for 3.5 hours. Got 48 parcel in 48 location. Took me 4.5 hours so I done 1 hour extra. After that I decided never to do 3.5 hour or 4 hour shift. It is not worth it at all. Takes longer than the given time, high mileage, also they send me though hills, jungles farms like you showed on this video.
Done*
I’m the same mate. I never accept a 3.5 hour unless its in the £80 bracket. I always go for 3 hour ones. They’re less likely to take the mick
Hi there. I just watched your Flex RUclips video. When it comes to working out your financials at the end, you are failing to add a claimable expense. You are failing to claim/deduct 45 pence for each mile you drove on that block. Therefore, 0.45 x 68 miles = £30.60 - deduct the £30.60 from the £49.50 = £18.90 minus 20% tax to pay of £3.78
You can also deduct mobile phone usage/car cleaning also which will reduce overall tax. Best you do some online research. Good luck & best wishes.
Hi Neil. Yes, I am aware of this. I always pay 20% tax into a pot each time I get paid, then when it comes to my self assessment, i claim back mileage and any other expense.
I will then likely have a nice amount left over once I have paid the correct tax.
You’re right though, should have mentioned it in the video
Out of interest does it help drivers to select one of the compliment settings after a delivery? I normally do this but wonder if I am wasting my time or not?
I never get this option
trying to get on amazon flex.just eat.deliveroo etc but no shifts. got on with uber eats and my van broke down on the first day haha been borrowing my dads bmw x5 40d for the last few days think iv spent more on fuel than iv been paid lol
Definitely not cost-effective mate
