$37 Amazon Fresh block vs 75.05 work miles – this is how you go broke delivering”

All these 2‑hour blocks are $37 with $0 tips, and for the May 19 one I drove 75.05 miles for that same $37. Using the 2026 IRS mileage rate (about 72.5¢/mile), those miles alone are worth roughly $54.41 in vehicle costs, which means I actually lost money on that block before even counting my time. Amazon Flex is looking a lot less like side income and a lot more like paying out of pocket to deliver groceries.

Ok so question… at what point does this become a safety hazard? My cart was stacked all the way to the top. I’m 5’10 and literally couldn’t see in front of me. I was honestly scared I was going to hit a car or a person while pushing it because my view was completely blocked.

Easy-Blocks app + Instant Offers Pinned Locations

Been using the Easy-Blocks app for a little over 4 months now, mostly for Instant Offers with their pinned locations feature, and honestly it changed the whole way I work Flex.

Before this, I’d waste hours parked near stations waiting for something decent. Now I can pin multiple stations straight from my phone, stay at home or handle my own stuff, and offers start coming in from different areas at the same time. Feels way better when you decide where you wanna drive instead of chasing random scraps all day.

And before people start crying “promo post” — yes, I get bonus app days for sharing my experience. I’m saying it openly because too many people act fake on here. But I wouldn’t post this if the feature was trash. From my own experience, it’s been smooth, consistent, and feels way safer than messing around with sketchy methods.

At the end of the day, Amazon doesn’t care about drivers sitting in parking lots for hours. They care about packages moving. I got bills, family, real life — and this setup helped me stay profitable without wasting half my day.

Hate all you want. I’m sticking with what works. 💨📦

🟢 Selfie Bypass by Easy-Blocks app | Multi-Account Flex Setup

Before this, I was constantly stressing over how to get more offers. Then it hit me: almost everyone on the market is already running multiple accounts. Without a reliable bypass, your chances of catching decent blocks drop significantly. Now, I just upload a few pre-approved photos, switch to the Easy-Blocks app, tap “Bypass,” and I’m in. It’s that simple. I’m currently managing three accounts smoothly (my wife’s and two friends’), and it’s been rock-solid for 9 months now. Zero red flags or warnings from Amazon—completely safe. The Selfie Bypass feature has genuinely changed how I approach Flex. On top of that, I also use pinned coordinates for Instant Offers. It’s another massive time-saver. I set my preferred zones from home, handle my own schedule, and let the app scan for blocks in real time. No more sitting in parking lots hoping for scraps. Good luck to everyone out there! 📦

Does the TOS violation from bot use ever go away from drivers dashboard.

As per title.

My driver rating is back to full. No issues with deliveries. But there is still a dashboard warning for TOS violation. Is it forever in your account. 2nd strike and gone. Or will it eventually lapse off the record.

How to read labels

This package should be in the truck right? I thought we read the driver aid so in that case I read D and put it in the trunk but when I scanned it, it said it was the 10th stop now why tf would it do that lol

Insurance coverage questions.

I crashed this weekend , and i believe it wasnt my fault . I cant get a video . Tell me why i didn't know that your personal insurance does not cover if you are actively doing gig work .

Amazons insurance just told me right now . Im waiting on a denial from my insurance but they dont answer my calls . I also have a rental through them and im thinking if i should return before they charge me . Has anyone been through this and what was your outcome with working with amazons commercial insurance ?

Experienced flex drivers I have a question

So I’m new to flex and after be waitlisted for over 2 years I finally started and was excited in a way but I’m completely lost I see so many of you talking about finishing early and things like that I’ve done 3 routes already and all have been 3 and a half hours but yet I’m still going over by a hour or so. All my routs are like 48 to 52 packages and that’s fine but first to scan all packages and find out what order takes forever and they only let me check in 5 mins before hand then finally takes over a hour and a half to get done after I says it should. Any advice or tips would be great

Amazon Flex - Fresh: $37 base, 2 hours, zero tips. Not sustainable.

Honestly, I'm getting tired of Amazon Flex — specifically the Fresh blocks. The routes keep getting longer, the pay hasn't increased and the tips? $0. Every. Single. Block.

These are all Amazon Fresh grocery deliveries — so we're talking heavy bags, cold bags, tight delivery windows, and customers who are home and watching us bring their groceries to the door… and still tipping nothing. Meanwhile the routes feel heavier and the stops further apart every week.

I don't know how anyone is making Fresh blocks work anymore. This is Houston.
