I’ve only ever used one specific grabber on 2 different Flex accounts and I had completely different experiences from both. The first account I used worked with the grabber with no issues ever. The 2nd account I used was brand new and after running the grabber for the first time to win a batch, I was deactivated the same day. I know flex made some recent updates to the app and I can only assume that might be why. So what’s safe to use in August 2026? Any recommendations?

Speaking as a Mexican myself

curious if anyone else has had issues with this. it has happened to me twice in the last couple weeks and it will probably get me deactivated. So 1st a couple weeks ago I accepted an instant offer for a winn-dixie. I arrived at the store and went inside, after marking arrived my orders disappeared and it just said waiting for order to be assigned, so I called support since an instant offer is supposed to be guaranteed work. long story short they did nothing and then 2 days later I get an email sayi I didn’t pick up my orders and now my standing is at risk. I tried appealing multiple times and of course they upheld there decision even though I presented screenshots showing that I had no deli assigned, and had called support ab the issue. Fast forward 2 weeks and I accepted a amazon fresh block. so I show up, arrive and do the verification. after waiting about 30mins they send me some orders. so I go inside, but my orders are not ready in the pickup area. so after waiting around 30 mins, out of nowhere they removed my orders and completely end my block even though I still had over an hour left. so again I call support and of course they can’t do anything, she claims to have escalated the issue and that it won’t affect my standing, but of course 2 days later another non compliant email comes. its completely ridiculous that I will probably get deactivated at no fault of my own, I have completed thousand of deliveries since 2017. just w if anyone has had this issue and had any success at disputing it. thanks in advance.

Got my first speeding ticket in 8 years off the clock. Debating hiring an attorney to fight it cuz of insurance and gig work.

Is there any way to see any details at all before accepting a block? I’m used to gig apps that show details so you know where the pickup is, where your drop off locations are, and how many miles the route is (usually with a map because 15 miles in a loop in the same general area and 15 miles straight out into the middle of nowhere are not equivalent).

I think Amazon Flex is now flagging missing packages reported by customers as block not finished. In the past week my account standing has been hit 3 times with unfinished blocks and is constantly asking me to return packages.

I went from a perfect standing to just great just in the past week. Which is odd and unusual since i always deliver all my blocks.

Has anybody noticed any recent changes?

I’m still new haven’t even been on flex for two weeks but I can’t get a block because it’s gone in one second. I know other people are getting them too but it seems like bots are still around. Any advice on how to get blocks quicker?

I’m new to Amazon Flex in DFW. Is there any way to know what area of town your deliveries will be? Do you know how many stops there are? I’ve been doing Walmart during the summer break and it seems like an easier to use platform than Amazon Flex.

I got approved earlier this week, and I keep looking at available offers. Almost all of them are $65-$68 for 3 1/2 hours, which is about $18.50/hr. The best hourly rate I've seen is $20.50/hr. And that's assuming these time estimates are accurate - but I'm assuming those are "perfect route" times, not real world times.

I know it varies by market, but are the bulk of the offers the ones nobody wants and I'm just not fast enough/high enough tier to get the good offers? Or should I really just expect to earn about $20/hr?

I feel like I must be missing something about how it works, because I've seen a lot of people say they went from DoorDash to Flex and are never going back. But what I'm seeing is decidedly worse than DoorDash.

Obviously the longer routes..they will take the whole time even if you hustle…Flex done 1hr early every 4Hr. Pay is low I see many desperate people taking the low pay it’s a shame! Flex is a little better, but not by much as you compete with many ppl using bots 🤖 Only 1/4+ VEHO has is where you get to deliver, but when it’s 35-40 more deliveries its really not and it takes longer and many ppl are fooled by this .25 positive! It’s so many foreigners delivering now and where they come from $ is criminal and they get duped into the low pay both VEHO and Flex. It’s been months since I did VEHO and Flex is getting worse by the week with low pay, bot 🤖 ppl and leftover 💩 routes/runs. Any comments that don’t agree or criticize are part of problem and most likely 🤖 users or one of the ppl that desperate for $ . Let’s hope it gets better for you 🙏🏼 Good luck gig workers! ✌🏼
