Tell me how I’m wrong, then start defending Amazon and their BS offers!

Commercial insurance is at add on, not the full cost of car insurance, this is TX, those are the rates, $25,000 for a new car, interest on the loan not included.

Car is 35 mpg, gas $3.50

Lets all come together to stop the bs amazon is starting to do to all of us. Maybe a nation wide strike?? The basepay everyday is getting out of hand.

2 and a half years never at risk 😐

I had to stop doing flex for a few months due to extenuating life circumstances....first off I'm not sure why the late delivery offenses hadn't dropped off since June....normally they would do so within a month or so....it's now October 🤦 I took a chance with the car I currently have and did a whole foods order( and made a rookie mistake doing it during rush hour) and now at rishkwith no other dings in any of the other areas? Shoot I got really good tips from this run as well ( I know it's an auto ding and tips don't matter but I still had to mention it )

I assume it's not even worth emailing support? Unless my only ask is why the almost 4 month old late delivery shit hadn't dropped off yet?

It seems(by reading other posts) as though in the almost 3 months I had to stop doing flex the bs has gotten to an all time high....

account deactivated

woke up at 3:30am for my 4:15am block only to find out as i’m warming up my car that my account got deactivated. i’m devestated bc i left my job to do flex full time after seeing that i make more money doing flex. i’ve already written emails and called phone numbers trying to appeal the decision. they said i missed too many blocks and didn’t pick up my route several times. I do fresh deliveries and the warehouse i frequent often has problems where carts go missing(stolen?) and when that happens i contact support and they say they wrote tickets for it but it still seems to have affected my standing. I also qualified for half of the healthcare subsidy and hadn’t been paid out for it yet AND block earnings i was waiting to be paid out for. has anyone had any success getting their account reactivated and if so were you able to still receive your healthcare subsidy? i’ve been so stressed out and wasn’t able to go back to sleep after. I have doordash and uber but don’t make anything on those apps. does anyone have any advice or other app recommendations i can use in the mean time or possibly forever with the way the job market is looking rn ….. Also if anyone on here happens to know of a place hiring for $27/hr or more (full time) please let me know and I can send over my resume. I’m a 25 (soon to be 26) year old female in the LA area, let’s connect!

UPDATE: i got reactivated

For those of you who work a full time job and also do Amazon Flex, how do you manage both?

Do you usually grab early morning blocks before work, or do you do blocks after you finish your regular shift?

I’m also curious how you deal with the exhaustion. If you’re working 8 hours and then doing Flex, or waking up super early for a block before work, how do you stay awake and still have enough energy throughout the day?

What schedule has worked best for you without completely burning yourself out?

Are people boycotting?

Not my warehouse but it’s looking like Bloomington is starting to not give an F.
MY warehouse is VAX2 and there has been available routes with surge pay all day.

UPS seasonal question

Since flex is a little crazy with the dings and crazy mileage lately, thinking of switching this winter to UPS. Anyone dome this? Was it better? I know they pay mileage.

My life flashed before me!

​

So I'm out early this morning delivering to a rural part of Riverside county CA..... I'm on this really dark street and going through my packages. I keep hearing some slight rusling of rocks on this gravel road but thought nothing of it. I then close my next door and there standing in front of me is a pure black wolf dog. I about soiled myself, and I ain't gonna lie.....2 drops of pee came out. I stayed calm and reached into my pocket and handed him a milk bone which he took. His demeaner then changed and he became friendly. I'm so glad because he could of easily hurt very bad if he wanted. The moral of the story: Stay calm and carry dog treats on you route.

Haven’t seen this at VAX1

I’ve only been driving since mid-July, but I’ve never seen this. 95% of these are for VAX1.

The most offers I see is 8 or 9 and they’re gone in seconds.

Wow

Literally was just done with a soccer tournament, tired asf. Came home, showered, picked up a 2:15-5:45 for 122.5. Came there, checked-in, waited 4 mins but not assigned, went to car, took 20-min nap, and came to this. Came home later, had the best fucking sleep of the week

Any Montana drivers?

I drive out of the Belgrade hub, which is only a .com warehouse. There are absolutely NO ROUTES!!! I’ve been driving since they opened, about a year and a half. I have a full time job, so I do this after work and days off. I’ve always been able to get about 5-10 routes/week. This last month, I’m lucky to get 1-2. This week……0!! First time I’ve ever gone a whole week with no routes. Considering working part time for a DSP. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

Flex debit card question

Is there a way to instantly transfer money from my flex debit card into my bank account or Apple Cash card? I tried the Venmo method and it doesn’t work for me.
