One of the biggest downfalls are you don’t know where or how far your going until once you start scanning you have a 3.5 hr shift but the first stop might be a hour away Amazon is smart by not telling you up front because they know a lot of these blocks wouldn’t be picked for the money there paying

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Facts! Facts! Facts! Thank you for watching!

[@alwaysfree7956]

Amazon isn't smart their deceptive.. praise God I work for doordash.😊

[@Ky-go1wj]

I agree that’s why I stopped I even hit a deer

[@paulgray973]

[@sonickbeats6825]

True I did one this morning thinking g it was gone be in the area come to find out my last stop come back was 52 freaking minutes, like wouldn't you think that they would have someone I. That area to do that block such a waste of gad

[@TheLastxtear]

A tip for everyone that does any type of personal delivery jobs. Make sure your vehicle is gas efficient. If you drive a car that called for premium gas and take it and do amazon flex that's just stupid and you wasting your time and money. You would be paying more in gas than getting money. I would recommend any type of hybrids, Hondas, or Toyotas best choices because you will be saving a much as possible. Oh and don't forget to calculate this into your budget. Gas, vehicle maintenance , and wear and tears. I seen a lot of new people going in and doing this and not noticing any of these factors. Then they wander why they don't make money.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Thank you for sharing!

[@ADucksOpinion]

this make me never wanna do this job at all. way to far out to drive over 100 miles for such little pay. I cant be not knowing where im going before accepting it.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Look I completely understand. That is the biggest con of Amazon Flex. Thank you for watching!

[@ADucksOpinion]

yeah i ended up never doing it. I dont wanna so to apts and ghettoos. I will stick with doordash/uber lol@@IamDesireeSimone

[@rayraynod]

You did a very good job explaining Amazon Flex. As a 65 years old retired vet, I love the flexibility of working Amazon Flex, it gives me something to do when I’m not busy at home.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Thank you so much! Congrats on being retired, my parents are too! Right, it just gives you the flexibility and something to do. Thank you for watching!

[@cathyisgrigg1813]

Good attitude and personality. Communities need more like you

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Aww thank you so much! Thank you for watching!

[@sheilanesmith4455]

Hey good video! I also work Amazon Flex and I have a tip for you. The package that had the yellow sticker covering the barcode, you could also scan the QR code or if neither of those scan you can manually type in the TBA number on the yellow sticker and the package order will come up that way too. Have a good day 😊

[@danilejai7801]

Or just pull off the yellow sticker. Just peel it off.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Thank you and this helped me so much yesterday on my block! I appreciate you! You have a great day too!

[@IamDesireeSimone]

You can do that but you might need the TBA number for customer support for any reason, which I ran into a problem yesterday. Thank you for watching!

[@demetriusbrooks1836]

I do Amazon Flex but I only accept Whole Foods Deliveries. The pay with Tips are much better. Sometimes you don't get many deliveries and you have to go greater distances. However, if you do it for a while you will tend to know where the best routs and times are. Thanks for the video.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Right! I will be uploading my first Amazon Fresh Online block and honestly thats my new favorite block they offer because of how short it is and you can earn tips. Thank you so much for watching!

[@arthurhauptman449]

I run routes for an Amazon DSP part time and that is the only way to go. The cost of running your own vehicle eats too far into earnings. You can also make a lot more per hour working for a DSP. You are still paid by the route like Flex but the vans are set up to deliver out. I believe you delivered 26 stops in 3 hours. I can deliver 30 to 35 in 1 hour. Last weekend I had 180 stops and finished in just over 5 hours. The route pays $185 in OKC so that's $37 a hour and you don't have to worry about your personal vehicle. DSPs are the way to go.

[@Sophist990]

Not always I run Flex up here in the North east and DSP's up here (hourly wage not flat rate) will give you a 180 and when your finished they have you go grab bags from another driver to get your full daily hours in. So more work for nothing other then your 40 hr regular pay. Only found one DSP(no longer around) That no matter how long my rout took me I got paid the full day and they also only asked me to help with rescues when really needed like someone got hurt rolled an ankle or something. Even had one company when I first got into this they where taking flex routes from the DB and giving each of us a couple bags each from them and didn't pay anything more they didn't even tell us I found out from a dispatcher from there like a year later.

[@arthurhauptman449]

@Sophist990 maybe the labor laws are different in Oklahoma. If you are an hourly employee a company can do that but the DSPs here pay a flat rate for the routes. They can't ask you to pick up packages from another driver without paying you more. I've finished so early that I've offered to do rescues to make extra but they won't allow it.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Thank you for sharing that. My friends that worked for Amazon for a certain amount of time say different but I am glad you're enjoying it and it pays well for you! Thanks for watching!

[@jayugly8284]

I had 191 stop i start at 12 I finish at 9 pm it’s to much you don’t get credit for working hard they always pick the one that not doing the job

[@arthurhauptman449]

@jayugly8284 I'm not trying to pick on you but if you're only averaging 21 stops an hour your doing something wrong. When I've trained people their average is better then that after the first few hours. I literally had that many stops this past Saturday and was done in 6.5 hours. The only reason it took that long was the person who picked my route (the person who sorts and packs the toats) did a horrible job putting it together.

[@didnthaveto]

Helpful tip: if the barcode is covered with a label, you can also scan that QR code to the right of the barcode as well.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Thank you so much for the tip! Also thank you for watching!!

[@thebrickhiker]

@@IamDesireeSimone The QR codes are a TON easier to scan too - the barcodes are usually more faded and harder / slower to read.

[@ashleytheschmoocarson8660]

So this is hands down the most informative video I have found. With that being said-thank you a TON😅

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Thank you sooo much!! I appreciate this! 💕

[@treyswizzle7895]

Best way to make it worth is to, 1. NEVER take base pay, aim for surges. 2. Have a fuel efficient car. 3. Helps a lot to live close to a warehouse. 4. Organize ypur route, so u are not wasting time.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Very good advice! Thank you for watching!

[@morearthanhuman]

How to tell when it’s base and when it’s a surge offer?

[@pamcraftsandtreats]

It doesn't matter living close to warehouse when they send you 40 min away to start delivering

[@rodboijones7390]

Time management in this gig is very important, as they will ding you for late deliveries, and returning packages.

[@ajae_gee7712]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be applying for runs in the Atlanta area. Hopefully the waitlist isn’t too long.

[@jondoh2226]

Thank you for making the video. This is useful information without adding too much filler but still being easy to listen to.

[@oliverrojas3185]

Thanks, appreciate the extensive recording of your experience and tips on using supplemental apps to evaluate driver efficiency and record costs.

[@ajfranklin83]

So an idea I have as a previous school bus driver the way we drive our route, is driving to the furthest pickup location to pickup our kids. So switching to Amazon flex your 46 packages once you number them on the box by drop off order 1 thru 46 start delivering the furthest one first so number 46 package by the time you get to number one package you should be close to home or Amazon building just in case you have to go back. Loved your content I may join

Next time I will try that! Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!

[@smokymountainpioneer]

Hello! I have been doing Amazing Flex now going on 3 years. First, the warehouse I go to. We drive into the building. They scan our driver license before we enter the building. Most of the time, we can choose our own routes. I always choose what's close to me. Sometimes they give us our routes and yep, you do go up to an hour away from your home. Its a pain. My warehouse now has morning blocks with the evening blocks. So almost double the money. Morning blocks are as early as 3:15am but its worth it to me. Amazon Flex is easier than what some people say. Just relax and have fun.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Hey! Wow that's amazing and how great your warehouse is! I believe you are explaining regular Amazon blocks and not Sub Same Day. I have done and seen how regular Amazon blocks are and you are lucky to be able to pick yours when you can. For us, we can not. Also, we don't get a lot of offers, and thank you!

[@nezuki7995]

My first day was HORRIBLE. Had 47 packages. 5 of the delivery locations were inaccessible (on top of mountain, all the way in the field behind house, all the way in the forest). An old man took a picture of my license plate because his delivery location was in the forest and I was contacting support to mark it “Delivered”. And the majority of the drive was 1 bar in cell service, which made the block a lot LONGER.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Oh no I am so sorry about that. Yea Amazon Flex is a hit or miss when it comes to the block location and amount of packages. But that's crazy though. I hope your other blocks go better. Thanks for watching!

Hubby and i do this before and after our main jobs so 2 blocks a day and in 2 weeks we made $1200 if you are able to take more blocks a day then you can easily double that. We usually take the 3 hour blocks and it really takes us about 2 finish the route.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Oh good! Great teamwork! I love that! Congrats!! Thanks for watching!

[@vonda5899]

I just want to say how sweet and polite you are in the comments to all the negative people! I worked for amazon as a regular driver but I'm interested in starting back as a flex driver so I'm doing some research. Your video was super informative and helpful in general, not just for flex. Regular drivers also use the flex app so the process is very similar, you just use your own car with flex and you get to pick your own shifts. Great video and positive vibes! ❤

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Aww thank you and I try my very best! You should definitely try it out since you are already familiar how Amazon works. Thats actually ready good to hear that regular Amazon drivers can learn from my video too! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy Flex!

[@quianeburgess9119]

What a great video! You were so informative! I shared this with my nephew, who is contemplating doing the same job! FYI-when taking deductions for your vehicle, you can only do one of two things. Either the actual method which is gas, insurance, and repairs or the Standard method which is using the miles that you drove and getting whatever the governmental rate is for that year. You cannot do both. If you do the actual, you have to be prepared to keep all your receipts not only that if this job is your side hustle, you will not be able to deduct 100% of maintenance or insurance because you use the car for other purposes, you can only deduct the portion use for business purposes. So if you do Amazon flex 50% of the time than 50% can be deducted..

[@eternalenigma1628]

This is cool to see- I just started as one of the people who drives the vans. We also technically don't work for amazon but for different independent companies. It's a pro for me that I don't have to drive my own car, but a con that I will be working 10-11 hours with no choice of a shorter day except for hurrying up as much as possible. I love how you showed the screen because the app can be kind of complicated when you get a route with lots of options (such as a specific place to put the package other than the front door, people who need to sign but aren't home, or if the gps quits working).

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Aww thank you so much! My friends worked as full time and part time drivers for Amazon and they did not like it. One became an Amazon Flex driver after quitting and they enjoy it better. They have control on the amount of hours they want to work instead of delivering all day long. I hope this helps a little bit. Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks you really broke this Amazon flex thing down, im not for this type of job, not knocking the hustle, but ima try it thanks to you!! Cuddos

Thank you so much! Well if you do I hope your first day goes very well! Thank you for watching!

[@brianwalker2614]

For those who dont no you can start your block 15 minutes early. Amazon is pretty on point with making sure that you will be done with your last stop 30-45 minutes before your actual block ends. That 30-45 minutes is usually 90% of the time enough time for you to make it home within your block time.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Thank you for your tips! Also thank you for watching!

You can get packages under 10 but u driving about an hour away. I honestly stop because I didn’t like not knowing where I was going. One time I was at a stop were my phone lost connection. It was a scary, secluded mud road wooded area. They had cages all on the property big dog barking. I hurried up and got out. Lol

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Oh na, I wouldn't continue after that either. I'm sorry that happened. Amazon Flex should definitely make some changes to the process.

[@chrisnewton8609]

Flex is not just deliveries. Flex is just a type of employee. You could do deliveries or work any position in a fulfillment warehouse ect ect . Flex requires you to work at least 4 hours a week from my experience working for Amazon in a fulfillment center for over a year. I'm currently Reduced time employee I work 3 12 hour shifts back to back over night and have 4 days off per week and love it.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Oh it’s not? All the blocks I’ve accepted has been all deliveries. Delivering packages, food, things from GNC. I’m currently still active with Amazon Flex and I haven’t worked at all for weeks. But if your saying their is a way for Amazon Flex drivers to be able to work in the warehouse please explain how. Also thank you for watching!

[@chrisnewton8609]

@@IamDesireeSimone you can be hired for different warehouses . Amazon has several different kinds . Fulfilment , Distribution , Ect . If I'm correct you were hired for Distribution

[@chrisnewton8609]

The restrictions may be different for each type of building you work for . I know if u work in fulfillment u have to work at least 4 hours per week. Also if you're hired to deliver then you will only be able to pick up shifts you were train for . In the fulfillment centers I can see all the shifts available but can only pick up the ones I've been train for. The A to Z app for employee's Is probably the greatest thing about working for Amazon.

[@TheLifeHustle]

That is incorrect. What you are speaking of is an Amazon employee. Flex is independent contractors.

@@IamDesireeSimone You’re welcome. I signed up for them and I’m in the Tampa bay area and I know they are in this area. I signed up last week and have yet to get any assignments from them. I logon so I stay logged on every day I do other things, but I still logon. This is a big city. There’s no way I should have gotten a Route by now.

Wow none. That’s crazy!!

A fuel efficient vehicle will help you generate the most profit even with wear and tear, it's all up to you, best vehicles I've had for deliveries are scion xbs and Nissan cubes the space helps with all the packages and the cost of maintenance is pretty low, especially with the xbs

Just sign up for Flex, and this video was very helpful

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Oh good! Good luck with your first block! Thank you for watching!

[@951Bigjosh]

Flex is only good if you live close to the warehouse and have a truck or SUV. If you drive a car, the amount of off roading they expect you to do will tear it up underneath. I was in shock at some of the addresses they expected me to drop packages off at. lol Just put too many miles for too little money for my taste.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

You are right about Flex is only good if you live close to a warehouse. Lol Flex is really ridiculous at times Lol. Thank you for watching!

I read some Reddit post on the Amazon flex subreddit where someone said they put the stop number on the package label like you did and they got in so much trouble by the supervisor because apparently you're not supposed to write on the label. Especially if they have to be redelivered for some reason. So when that person got back to the facility and they saw the writing on the label, they had to bring the packages inside and relabel the packages. It could be different per area though. IIRC someone in comments said they write on their package labels and no one has ever mentioned anything about it.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

oh wow I never knew that. I hope that never happens to me because writing the stop numbers has really helped. Thank you for sharing and watching!

[@NancySpears-tf2hz]

I do hate not knowing the route before accepting. My first route was Carmel which i didnt care for because of the congestion of traffic and very busy area. I did have a 4 hour with 40 pkgs. I just completed a Fishers run it was only 12 stops in 5 hours so i was actually done and home 2 hours early. I also have a chevy cruze and am a little wary of long routes do to the amount of pkgs.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Right, not knowing is so annoying. Oh hey! That was a lucky route for Fishers. Congrats and I hope when I do it again I get a route like that. Chevy Cruze twins lol. Yea those long routes are not fun. Thanks for watching!

The most important part is what type of car you have. If you have a small car then you can save money on gas, yet you can't take on large routes which can take longer, but will bring you bigger pay. If you have a large car you will spend more gas. I guess the best way to figure it out is to try it out at least once or twice and see what your results are. I have a large suv and so it fits easily over 60 packages. I will try and see how much an entire day will pay me to see if it's worth it.

[@IamDesireeSimone]

Exactly, I love the examples! Thank you for sharing and watching!

[@zelowatch30]

Has it been worth it for you with an SUV? Do you get more options or packages? Like bigger packages or just more?
