Hitting the Amazon Flex JACKPOT! I Won't Get This Lucky Again For a Long Time!

[@WanderingCactus]

One thing that'll make loading slower, but delivery faster, your itinerary screen has a search box, and at the right side of it is a search by bar code. Yep, you can scan all your packages, and get the stop number, so you load your car in order so there's not hunting for packages when you arrive. I find it speeds up the day enough to justify the extra load time.

[@altanapak4540]

I don't think I will ever beat the £81 3 and 1/2 block to be given a 53 minute route I simply couldn't believe my luck

[@DaveAerialPhotography]

Next time you are in the depot ask a member of staff for plastic bags. They'll give you as much as you want and that'll help you on the rainy days.

[@autohustles]

Yea I saw a guy ask for these the other day - I’ll be sure to next time!

[@micheleparker3780]

It's not boring; a great route is wonderful!😊

[@NewYork_Eats]

Even though I don't drive. I enjoy your videos man. You got a new subscriber. Keep up the good work 👍🏽

[@itouch2k10]

Great video - just so you know you can re-attempt after completing the route. If you have parcels to return to the depot, you can still go to your itinerary and select the address you want to re-attempt and it will bring up the sat nav again :)

[@autohustles]

Good to know, thanks! I always wanted to try it to see what happened but was too worried I’d end up with a trip back to the depo that I didn’t need to make 🤣

[@0MissElizabeth0]

Amazon Flex'er in California USA here... Leaving it with a neighbor is wild to me, thats not within our scope of possibilities. Aside, I always arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. Because usually you can get a route right away. And I use that extra time to organize my packages according to stop number. I fly through my route and have to search for nothing at each stop.

[@emma70707]

Right, unless someone specifically asks you to leave it with a specific neighbor, you'd never. But I think that because people move more often and we don't have the shared spaces (like a lot of UK homes have shared gardens out back) so we don't have as many ties to our neighbors here.

[@autohustles]

Interesting! Neighbour deliveries are a common thing here when people aren’t home. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

[@IMHO313]

You say boring but I’ve been enjoying every minute 😄😄

[@kn1ghtr1d3r2]

You can do the last drop then go in to summary and re attempt from there under problems

[@sajulldin5147]

Enjoyed the video, big fan of Amazon deliveries, so good to see an insight. Does make me uncomfortable seeing you leave your car running though 😂

[@autohustles]

Bad habit I know, it’s the battle between convenience and safety 🤣

[@sah1746]

Never count your chickens until the last drop as you might get a return 😫

[@haroldbetterson1877]

Long time sub. 2 questions please: 1 are you allowed to leave them as you did? I’ve been having delivery drivers knock and dump them on my doorstep when I’m out? (Uk) 2 why did you knock for the envelope one you pushed through? Thanks

[@autohustles]

Thanks for supporting the channel mate! Yes, we can leave parcels providing it isn’t an age-verified delivery or a passcode delivery (high value items require a passcode from the customer that they get emailed from Amazon). We have the option to select where we left it, and take a photo as proof. Handing to the customer is not required. The only requirement is that the parcel isn’t visible from the road - some drivers don’t take that rule too seriously though. As for the letterbox knock, it was just to let them know it’s arrived if they didn’t hear the letterbox go. Nothing more than that!

[@haroldbetterson1877]

@@autohustles thanks mate. Interesting!

[@vinnieomahoney6359]

With new hmrc law coming in, Amazon and other apps are going to struggle to keep drivers, if they don’t up what they pay it’s not going to be worth any drivers, riders coming out

[@squibys2262]

So they haven't been paying taxes until now, naughty naughty. It always catches up with you one way or another, remember if you owe them they can chase you forever but if they owe you it's probably a few years to get your dues or stuff u.

[@AllThingsCDL]

Hey mate, who do you use for insurance? A third party app or is it through a normal insurer?

[@sah1746]

You not carry the Amazon weather bags?

[@08richiep]

I have been doing a few flex shifts from the Plymouth depot. Had some right Minging routes recently all farms with horrible roads. I did before Christmas have similar to your route in this video. Had an enhanced rate for 3.30hr route I think it was £70 odd took me just over an hour to do. It’s all luck of the draw.

[@dalegend1274]

Watching every videos mate. Its soo relaxing as im a driver too.

[@fatboy6427]

What car are u using what would be the best car for this job?

[@awaisqaisar6696]

How does car maintenance factor into your costs/profit?

[@MattxMedley]

Another high quality video!

[@OldManRocketLeague]

Would you mind telling me who you use for insurance please? I'm trying to get sorted and it's a bit of a minefield.

[@Vincent_N89]

Learn to stack your parcels into your car in route order as best as you can... It'l save you loads of time searching for them

[@stevenausten-davies141]

Do you leave ‘missed you’ cards with instructions?

[@saj3298]

Great videos as always, I'm thinking of signing up & doing this a part time hustle(10hrs a week). What's the best app(deliveroo, uber eats etc), can it take a while before being accepted? Also best insurance provider(cheapest) for someone doing this part time. Any advice is much appreciated, & look forward to the next video :)

[@autohustles]

Thanks! I think the waiting lists on all apps are pretty long at the moment, but it will vary by area. As for insurance, I use Zego and always found them the best value.

[@harvplayzgames228]

You look like one of the guys from the insider foods KZbin channel

[@Youj510]

If someone isn’t in can’t you not just knock round next door and give it to them to look after or go round the back and leave it there around my area Amazon driver always does that give it to a neighbour if they someone isn’t In

[@squibys2262]

I hate those nuisance doorbells, never understood why the whole area needs to know when a neighbour has a visitor. We're going backwards it seems.

[@commuterbranchline8132]

Finally a cushty block!

[@TELBOYO10]

just put the packages in the meter box.

[@fgbpeterritchie1386]

When are you going to do and other Morrisons block

[@autohustles]

Very soon! They’ve been SO hard to get recently because of how quiet it’s been, but a new Morrisons video is on the way soon

[@Renovateoldhouse-i5u]

I hope you can turn off the background music so that I can listen more comfortably.

[@JimmyLemon]

You needed some good karma after that last video!

[@BookerLemon]

Ayup mate, how long was your enrolment for flex?

[@autohustles]

About a month, although I signed up a good 2 years ago now so it's probably a longer wait now

[@ZafiraSteve]

It's a shame you can't keep a hold of the parcels and deliver them the next day

[@bossgaming498]

its infact better to deliver them same day or just return to depot, who will want to deliver next day, what if you don't get a block the next day lol

[@ZafiraSteve]

@@bossgaming498 I'm not on about getting a block the next day. You just deliver it in your own time. Saves a journey back to depot

[@hadish2934]

How many years of driving experience is needed for Amazon Flex if you can guide me please? Can I start with a fresh driving license? I am 24

[@autohustles]

You can start from age 21 I believe - as long as you get insurance for delivery work, you’re good to go

[@russldntaxi]

You’ve naused up the figures, well on screen caption is wrong at the end anyway

[@autohustles]

You’re right, forgot to change it to £91 and left it at £61.50, d’oh 🤦‍♂️

[@sharonsiddall5094]

Love it

[@jamiebartlett4608]

Hi Mate. New subscriber here and loving the videos. with me job i get alot of free time in the week and daytime so i have looked into signing up to both uber eats and deliveroo. However im getting alot of issues trying to get insured and while i already have nornal insurance they do not offer food delivery insurance add ons. Can i ask who you go through please? Thanks mate Jamie

[@autohustles]

Cheers mate and thanks for the sub! Have you tried looking at Zego or Inshur? They both offer bolt-on options. Check with your main insurer first to see if they allow bolt-on insurance from other providers, as many do not.

[@jamiebartlett4608]

@@autohustles yeah both have rejected me or just said we cannot offer you a plan at this time. and yes my main insurer does not offer a fast food option. I feel like i'm stuck at a wall here as both Uber eats & deliveroo have accepted all my applications and just awaiting insurance documents. so unless i'm wiling to ride a bike which i'm not i am stuck and cannot think of any loop holes. Ive delivered for yodel before as a courier and they put you on their own insurance so i have never known this.

[@Gerdoch]

I'd be furious if Amazon ever left a parcel with a neighbour. Really not a fan of that concept. As a delivery person you have zero idea what a random neighbour is like, nor the relationship or lack thereof the customer whose package you're delivering might have with them.

[@autohustles]

Honestly, I agree. But leaving parcels with neighbours if you’re not in has been a normal thing here in the UK even before the days of Amazon.

[@Aperegrine90]

What a horrible way of living, not trusting those living near you.

[@tarkadal5563]

Leaving your parcel with a neighbour is normal. If they say they don’t have it, Amazon and most companies will send you another one. If you’re ordering a dildo or something you just collect
