Amazon Delivery Station - Stow pt. 3

Last stow video. If this serves any value:
Please recognize that organizing your bags is important when stowing.
This involves shuffling, reorganizing, and rearranging packages that have already been stowed inside.
Stowing fast doesn't mean you have to compromise neatness, cleanliness, and thorough stow etiquette.
As I near my Amazon chapter, I am trying to get footage out there to help those new hires.
** Not only do you see how I stow in sequence to be efficient, but I also move the camera to show how it looks INSIDE the bag.
Stowing boxes and jiffies neatly will create a sturdy bag, so when Pick and Stage roll around, the bags won't cave outwards and potentially crush boxes inside.
The last video uploaded will be Unloading at the Induct Dock/Area.
** Unloading and Stowing are the most physical positions at any Delivery Station in my opinion, and I am always put in these positions.
The wear and tear are not worth it - I will find a new job/career with my Kinesiology degree. It has been fun working at Amazon Delivery Station.

[@FirstnameLastname-nn2ex]

working at delivery station was very easy, the only bad thing is its over night, last time i checked there it was overnight graveyard shift from 1am-12pm which is the crappiest schedule out there. Once that 6am hits your body tries to go into shut down mode if your not experienced to it.

[@mikeeonfiya]

You ain’t lyin, that’s the truth. It’s call it graveyard shift for a reason. Longevity in life. FWIW the human body is designed to rest and recover during sundown, releasing human growth hormone (hGH) to repair body cells from oxidative stress. hGH is secreted the most between 12am - 2am during deep sleep. There are a clinical studies on this. Google scholar journals on hGH secretion correlated to sleep 🛌 💤

[@EstaDePiPi]

Nah Bro that’s the best schedule, no traffic, can do errands with not having to deal with The bullshit, plus your last day was basically a whole ass to yourself, making it 4 days off,

I will give it up to Amazon. Huge Props for an amazing warehouse system. Being a computer programmer and more, I'm still at awe at whoever put their warehouse system together. every piece is so perfect. from the stowing into the bags and the carts for the trucks to do the deliveries, the delivery addresses are never thought about as the system and the bags containing the items to be delivered were in a specific zip code. The driver did not have to travel back and forth across town. His bags of goodies were all in a tight little area. Amazingly Elegant system Amazon has.

Once you start, you’ll Stow like I do in this video. Drink elecrolytes before your shift. Bring a speaker to make the job fun. After you get proficient at Stow, try asking the PA for Unloading at the Dock. Stow + Unload were my favorite positions. I never liked Picking (like how the guy is in the video is seen loading my rack in order for me to Stow). Next to electrolytes and music, I usually pounded a pre workout before each shift for the vasodilators and creatine to keep my muscles working for the ~28k step.

When I worked at the delivery station near me i brunt myself out by going to fast or stressing how full my aisles were. What helped me with keeping my rated up was i would arrange the boxes on my cart with half of it being a-c boxes and the other half being the other letters. It helped clear the rack and easier to find the bags. Also memorize which side was the odd and even number so I would know what side it went into just by looking at the label! It worked pretty well for me and I was usually top stower with my personal record being a little over 3k (only bc i was competitive)

This facility runs a lot slower than the one I worked at. The conveyor behind the rack moved a lot faster, and it never stopped. The buffers (people that loaded the rack) would have to move like athletes across five aisles. There were also mountains of jiffies and huge boxes weighing 30+ lbs. destroying everything. I also had to work at least three aisles while stowing. If I spent more than 10 minutes in one aisle, then the others would be overflowing, and my buffer would get upset.

[@diel9005]

[@novaremnantdayz]

You know what your rates are? I was at 357/ hr, 2200 some packages stowed one shift when i busted ass lol and all of my bags sorted properly. Started just sliding all OV packages down and then G, E's, and D's. Any A, B, C I stow it as i'm taking each package off the shelf. Clear the P2B in like 2 minutes and then i take all the jiffy's and dump them in piles by the bags they should be by, read every aid label so i don't waste time with improper sort. I am 250-300 every shift now not really sweating too much. I got tired of having to find carts so I just don't use them now if they aren't near the aisle already.

[@mikeeonfiya]

Some days I peak at 400-360, but it goes down usually at the end before P&S, because a lot of inferred time when helping the associates with non-cons. I am quick on induct/unloading, they have me switch between the two positions …my lower back has finally adjusted to induct/unloading; it used to be sore all the time because of the high volume needed (e.g., hyperextention), it’s not sore anymore when I am actively engaging my core. That’ll be my last upload for Amazon DS video - I hope to shed some light for those who’s going to be joining the fray.

Agreed. If you use the cart to put bins or all the boxes on, you can easily wheel it down the isle corresponding to the letter. Also don't take the library stack so literally. Laying a box down on the long side an putting another box laying the same way allows jiffys to be be placed on top and around. I rarely have to close a bag.

I hated the jiffy thieves that would simply walk around scanning jiffies to get a high scan rate. Now they only got the graveyard night hours from 1:30 am - 11:30 am. Why simply to make the employees restock the bags because management was too lazy to have it's PA's and ambassadors do it or the day crew which they renamed as returns.

[@mikeeonfiya]

RTS is earlier hours 4 pm to 12 am or 6 pm to 2 am. RTS work is physically and digitally opening Stow bags, debriefing delivery drivers, trouble shooting non-deliverables/damaged packages. You can think of RTS as the shift that preps the warehouse before the Cycle_1 shift starts. Bags needs to be placed and opened, etc. Cycle_1 is not as laid back as RTS, since you’ll be moving a lot more. It’s fast-paced. The hours are usually 3:20 am to 11:50 am, 5 days a week. Or 1:20 am to 11:50 am, 4 days a week (without OT pay for the extra 2 hrs each day). I personally enjoy Cycle_1 work, but I like RTS hours. Hope this helps - get out of that mad house FC! DS is funner, better for the mental health, it’ll tax you physically though, but you’ll adapt. I say this coming from ranges of 22-2k steps a day, or 12-14 miles of walking.

[@mikeeonfiya]

It’s eccentric work. You’re working while the rest of the world is sleeping. You work with a big team where everyone fulfills a specific position. You work at your own pace as everyone helps each other. You can be either an introvert or extrovert, it doesn’t matter. That’s the comrades aspect. The work itself is physically demanding. Average of 22k - 25k steps a day, so about 12-14 miles of walking. Your body will feel sore where it never has before, but it will adapt with proper rest and recovery. All in all, delivery station warehouse associate is fun work. The funnest job I’ve ever had. Adrenaline, fast-paced, hands on, and very flexible schedule. Good job, but by no means is it a career.

I lasted 3 weeks then quit I couldn’t handle the the schedule

[@Sinfulxann]

Only reason I last at Amazon is part time and pick up 10 hour shifts when I really need the money quicker or emergency need it’s less stress working two days 20 hours a week with options to pick up shifts on off days I make 21 and up depending on the day and times no lower I use to work 4 days 20 hours at delivery and picked up shifts but now at another Amazon Lit two days a week and went from 17 to 21 dollars and up so Amazon is great just for beginners don’t rush and get the 4 days a week schedules be patient unless you really need it look for either 5 days 20 hours or two days 20 hours you will be able to pick up shifts so don’t stress if you say you need the money cause you will get it and work around your schedule like I do.

Does this guy work like this when No camera????

[@nemesiswes426]

Probably a little slower but not by much. Really though you gotta keep up with the rack, otherwise the other side where the conveyor belt is will get filled up with packages. I have seen a literal wall built around the rack for really slow people or aisles nobody went too, lol. Then the person on the conveyor side gets slowed down cause there's nowhere to store the stuff coming off the conveyor and it just gets hard to walk back and forth.

[@PillowStuffin]

You really don't have to work this hard to be quick. He's doing a lot of unnecessary movement and not really using his cart in a smart way. If you stow like this the whole time you'll be worn out by lunchtime lol that said he did say he's a bit newer in this video.

[@janeklebba]

No wonder things get damaged way they getvthrown around

[@kevinrickey3925]

I did Amazon warehouse for 3 months, I did the stowing and everything. This is a very accurate depiction of reality, except I had no cart, it would have slowed me down. I moved faster and kept my incoming shelves as empty as possible as soon as possible as more packages were being put on them from a conveyor belt you cannot see here. This dude is slow.

[@mikeeonfiya]

@@kevinrickey3925 ok Mr. Superstar. Has your chubby dad bod unloaded fast as fuck on the induction dock? Probably not.

[@chimexca]

You are killing your self... Stowing the way you are doing it is incorrect... Always use the cart and keep your aisle clear that way you don't trip over items as I saw in the video... If you Stow the proper way you will increase your numbers...What are your Stow Numbers ???...

[@FsgHopOut]

I’m tryna learn how to do it bro you moving to fast on every video

[@mikeeonfiya]

Which part? Stack any E-G packages on OV’s to stow on your way down. Might as well chip away at the Buffer. Some people stow A-B before using the cart, I sometimes stow C-D since it’s a step away.

[@diel9005]

Slide oversized light rack Ov's to back on the floor, load e-g & D boxes on the cart , load bottom of cart with your most filled jiffy tote ( keep empty one to switch out with ; only C & G jiffy totes.. push cart to back then immediately knock out the A & B boxes and jiffys in the front . After the front done knock out the back cart and easy rack OVs at the end . Lmk what u think

[@maravergnaghi4995]

Ora capisco perché sono tutti magri…..questo nn è lavoro….

[@CGGC0202]

could move faster if you werent wearing them skinny jeans bro.

[@nealwhite8425]

No running! No personal speakers! You're moving too much for one scan...... And from a security point of view I don't think recording this video is within Amazon's policies..... seeing as how you could just pause/zoom into a package and get customer information if you really wanted to.... 🎉

@@mrbillyb1966 or Unloading, it’s definitely the most physical / non-stop role, harder than Stowing and Water Spider

[@7729298cm]

I read from a newsfeed that Amazon Is going to deliver without the items in boxes . Won’t that make your job a little bit easier? What’s your thoughts about that? Btw Mike , you’re doing a great job. 💯🦾

[@mikeeonfiya]

I haven’t heard about that, but at my deliver my station, they have recently implemented an ASL machine to help the workflow, and that machine has replaced 7 positions. The machine is the Automatic Scan & Label (ASL); it eliminated a person having to scan each box unloaded from another person at the beginning of the conveyor belt. That person uses Avery label gun. They scan each box and add a label, that box now has a label - so that we know where it will go. The ASL scans and drops a label onto boxes, so you still need a person unloading, but no longer a 2nd person putting the labels on (next time you receive an Amazon package, look for a colorful sticker - it might say “G 10.2G.” The indicates which aisle in the warehouse that boxes is diverted to. For example, in this video, I am stowing packages for B 24, B 23, B 22, B 21. I know a lot of people enjoyed using the Avery gun and scanning each pkg to put the label on, and the machine has replaced them. Sorry for the lengthy explanation, I hope it makes sense. The next machine will eliminate Pickers (look at the guy who places packages on my rack for me to stow). In the near future, they will have automated Pick To Buffers to do that. So that means the human touch is still needed by stowers. In my opinion, Amazon is king at logistics; implementing machines will smoothen the work at the the delivery station (DS), but delivering without items in the boxes will most likely occur at Fulfillment Centers (FC), as they control your order in the beginning. Thank you and take care out there.
