Amazon Vendor receiving Decant

[@NikoJones94]

Thank you. This was a great pov for watching the things for this station. Thank you for helping everyone that wants to see what it’s like working at Amazon. Shoutout to all the KZbinrs that make videos about Amazon!

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

You're welcome thank you for your amazing kindness. I hope God bless you with great things in your future.

[@okboing]

just picked up a job at an AFC and this is gonna be my role, cool to see how it's done before seeing how it's done

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

Oh that's awesome a hope that goes well and you enjoy.

[@DavidHalverson]

I started out in the Receiving Department doing Each Receive (individual items from box into tote(s)) to Decant (dumping entire box into tote(s) ) and finally got trained in Prep (bagging and ASIN stickering before putting item into tote). Got cross-training through Outbound Department for Packing (which I absolutely love doing, no heavy items).

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

See I started in Outbound and transfered to Inbound. I was trained in tranship and then got put In decant. I now transferred to a delivery station where I stow and pack the bags in carts for delivery.

[@lynlinglang2981]

I transfer in receiving vendor I have no ideal what it going to be or should I stay in pack

[@arseniov.7809]

@@ChimcHoodoLoo Man I’m working Transship and at first we were hitting numbers of 8k-18k, now as of this year (our peak numbers were 28-30k and that was high for us at the time) now I’m seeing 30K+ and I’m absolutely burnt out and frustrated because our transship area is so small and we have roughly as of to date 20 sorts, Amazon right now pays better than surrounding jobs, which area in Amazon isn’t too demanding physically and mentally? At least just a notch down from transship? I’m thinking of doing Picking or receiving

[@reinab8168]

What kind of station do you work at? I thought I'd go for pack and it's all heavy items. I pulled my upper back muscles in the first week so now I'm trying for vendor recieve.

[@patricew.4010]

I work at a delivery station and looking to transfer and this is one of the positions available. I mainly stow, but think i need a position where i work alone as more people seem inefficient to me. I think id like this. Although a downside seems to be less movement.

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

Yeah this particular position is easy you don't really move much like you said. It's very chill you don't really get bothered you just do your own thing. There will be days where you're just sitting there waiting for work to come down, because the stowers sometimes don't get carts down fast enough for the time we get it all done.

[@patricew.4010]

@@ChimcHoodoLoo Ah, good to know. Maybe one day I'll be trained in it since Amazon okie doked us. Apparently we signed up for our positions, but what's good for the warehouse is us being technical loaders and unloaders. Sigh.

I work in ship dock and I’m looking to transfer departments and I seen this one on the a to z app and it looks way more chill.

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

Oh yeah it is I did ship dock wasn't a big fan of it. I think you would like it better maybe.

[@LIONESSOFZION]

What department is 010?

I love jobs that are easy money. Im transferring from shipdock to here. I cant wait, im stoked

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

Well that sounds awesome I hope it goes well

@xenos975 How do you like it so far? I’m thinking about transferring from ship dock too

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

@@dbbuster1238 oh it was nice pretty easy

[@Dimpez100]

I think I want to transfer to this. Right now I’m in stowing, and stowing is easy, however I can’t stand going up and down that ladder. My back be hurting to bad

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

Yeah I feel ya I would do what makes you feel happy.

[@DavidHalverson]

YHM1 I work decanting and we just take the card board boxes, empty them into yellow totes, and push the totes onto the tote line to be stowed upstairs. If there is items coming in their own box, we put the entire box with product into the tote and send up to to be stowed. The computer tells us how many items are in each box, how many totes required, and if there is only 1 item and 1 tote don't open the box just put the entire box into the tote. If the item doesn't fit, then its sent to the Problem Solver (PS).

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

Oh wow that's seems interesting did you enjoy doing it. Sometimes when I watch amazon staff on youtube the work looks so different from the work I had to do. Thanks for your story. It's cool knowing how other Amazon's do work.

[@techguygamer2023]

Your facility is easy i wish i was working there lol where I'm at is one busiest facility in Atlanta AT2 our rates need be 60 boxes per hour they weight between 1 pounds to 50 pounds average weight 25 pounds and up and 500+ units per hour is slavery work not a lot people make it here I had friends get their shoulder or wrist injury isn't no joke.

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

Oh dang that's crazy. I'll admit we have are busy days especially around peak, but this video was at the end of the work day there wasn't much work. I no what you mean when it gets super busy. I can't imagine all that work you do. I hope they pay more.

Does anyone know if this is similar to Vendor Returns in a FC, just got approve for my transfer from Receive

[@pullingthestrings5233]

Is it the same?

[@jenncarr5376]

Are there different types of Vendor Receive positions or is this pretty much what VR does pretty much ? I got a job offer for VR !

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

From are location it was vendor receive and transship which was working on the trucks more.

[@luzonesindios4110]

What is the toughest part about that job? Do you like it?

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

The toughest part of the job is. The long hours, then not having enough work. Also the strictness at times. Most of the people are super cool tho. Also the mandatory overtime days. They suck because they add a extra day to you schedule and you have to work it.

[@DavidHalverson]

@@ChimcHoodoLoo I always accept the VET (Voluntary Extra Time) shifts when they come. Extra money comes in handy.

[@phillewis7720]

Is this the same job in a IDX building?

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

No it's a Amazon building pretty decent size. It's called Amazon fulfillment center.

I'm about to make Amazon Videos at work and see if people sub lol

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

Hey I'm sure they will I hope so. Maybe make a career out of it that would be nice.

[@t-rexdabeast7787]

@@ChimcHoodoLoo until they find out who it is from work and terminate you. No hate just a warning been working at amazon for 3 years and its a strict policy of no pic of videotaping allowed non the less no phones. Before covid they would have to write your make and models of your phone and other stuff from your phone to make sure you weren't doing any of that and if you were it was termination unless it was an accident bringing in your phone. Now its you can have your phone but only due to emergencies

GOOD Video tho!!!! Was curious of what work was vendor receive was just because ive been doing receive dock my three years.

How fast do you have to work?

[@ChimcHoodoLoo]

So this is inbound so you typically go at a speed that's is suitable for you. Technically we're supposed to be scanning at least 3 items per minute tho.

[@DavidHalverson]

Have to generally do over 20 boxes an hour to stay in the Amazon flow rate. Its fast work, take box, scan it, dump it into tote, and put tote onto tote line; next box, and repeat for 10 hours each day.
