This is probably the most detailed AF delivery video I've watched regarding the use of the app..great job and video! Thanks 😁👏

[@clark456456]

Kaelle, thank you so much for making this video, I just signed up to drive for frex, and you answered a lot of my questions thank you very very much.

[@kaelle]

ty! i’m glad you found this useful:)

[@Viperwon]

Oh wow this was so cool! I'm in Orlando too. I was wondering how the Fresh stuff worked. I delivered an order yesterday it went well!

[@feliciafaith]

That’s awesome! I didn’t know anything about this! Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏻

[@hello2718]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Definitely an interesting concept, but awesome how you can pick up shifts when you want 😁

[@KhaosCats]

I would honestly do the package delivery vs the Whole Foods delivery considering your tips are never guaranteed. I do the package delivery and I make good money on it but of course it won’t replace a full income but it works out for a part time person

[@ibmtpx24]

Have you looked into doing the delivery outside of the business hours? I imagine it would be between the amz warehouse and the customers rather than grocery.

[@kaelle]

i have not, all the locations are too far for me unfortunately

[@dbaqt412]

I live in Orlando as well. When I tried to sign up it listed Tampa/St Pete not Orlando which is annoying. I don’t want to go all the way out to Tampa

[@kaelle]

i had that problem before! i had to create a brand new account with a different email

[@vtecx626]

I tried Amazon flex and it was horrible compared to food delivery apps. They give you like 40 different packages and you need to load and scan them in your car. When you reach a stop its usually a maze like apartment with no parking. You need to press all kinds of codes to get in and walk around the apartment complex looking for the apt #. The packages aren't organized you just have to dig through the 40 packages they give you. When theres no parking you need to park far away back and forth just to drop off 1 package. My shift was 5-8 but I didn't finish till 11pm because of all the walking. I've never worked so hard for $80. Was a horrible experience I'm pretty traumatized by it. 😖😖😖

[@mstcherie13]

Totally understand I do amazon flex and what you said is true. I think with apartment deliveries with access codes they should give you extra time but they tend to expect you to be in and out like the other deliveries. Also if you feel unsafe u have to deliver it all the way back to the station in your own time. Not good. If they give me deliveries outside of my selected preferences I tell them to take it off. And still get paid if they don't assign you another one. But logistics you cant see the addresses untill after you scan the box and you look directly on the parcels for the address. Pretty sneaky. If you can find a way to play them at their own game it's not too bad unfortunately most people get taken advantage of and just go amon with everything they say and do even if it's completely unreasonable.

[@humblegamer93]

I live in Atlanta ga so this should be interesting when I do start doing this.

[@UneakTershai]

Thinking about starting this but didn’t know if it would be too many packages all at once since I have a car not an SUV or truck rn 💕✨

[@carlyb7928]

Does the app tell you exactly where to park outside of whole foods? My first shift is there tonight!

[@kaelle]

yes it does! there’s an area it tells u to park

[@acehawk45]

the app doesn't tell you where to park you have to use your eye's and look for a sign that says amazon flex pick up park here

[@Boyzofsummer1]

Question: Let’s say there are 4 offers Times are 4-7:30pm You chose 1 of the 4 offers Let’s say you’ve completed your block / shift and you go back to see what offers are there and notice there’s 3 of the 4 offers that are open from 4-7:30pm of that same day. Are you allowed to accept any of the 3 remaining blocks even though it’s 8pm and the time shows 4-7:30pm?

[@kaelle]

i'm not sure, i haven't ran into that but i'm assuming you should be allowed as long as it lets you

[@jag3439]

Hey there, I’ve been driving for flex for 6 months in Colorado. It would be a very rare case that those blocks would still be available but, if they were, and it’s 8 pm and the blocks were between 4:30-7 pm then no, you couldn’t be able to take them because, at 8 pm, you’re now after the scheduled block time. Sometimes old blocks show but with a refresh of the page, they disappear. I hope this helped and I understood your question. Please let me know if it didn’t !

[@kasheem1747]

You guys that this app are lucky I wish they allow me on for this instead of a dsp

[@nubility4283]

I just download app and logged in but not workin as just white page shows nothing ...

[@devellwinston3386]

So the 3 to 4hrs is just a window to get the job done. The job is finished when dropping off all packages and that can be done witin a hour?

[@kaelle]

3-4 hours is your shift yes, you’re given packages. you can finish before the time but if you still have a lot of time left i’m pretty sure it’ll make you pick up more (not 100% sure)

[@devellwinston3386]

@@kaelle thank you and one more what is the most minutes you've spent on a delivery for Amazon flex?

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

Yes. Some people even said you can get paid for a shift and there are no deliverers or sometimes maybe just one package. If you accept and show up you get paid. But that is rare. If you finish early it just means you got paid more per hour. Then check the app for another block to work or be done for the day.

[@TheRealTommyShelby]

If all packages are delivered before the 3-4 hour time frame you are given. You get paid the full amount that was specified and can head home or pick up another block if you choose. They cannot make you go back to the warehouse after finishing your delivery before the 3 hour mark.

[@jag3439]

Yes, I sometimes bring one or two of our kids. They just need to have something to keep occupied with, especially if you get an intense route. Also, the kids will not be permitted inside or on the grounds of the station. They must stay in the car while you’re getting your route and loading up packages.

How much u make a hour at this job ?

[@kaelle]

it’s $15/hr + tips

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

Unless you do straight packages and not food. Regular packages are typically no tip but they pay 18 an hour.. but many are making more because they get done early once they learn the ropes. And sometimes there are bonus promotions. Or sometimes there may be few packages or even none and you get paid the same but that is rare. Trick is to figure out the best blocks to accept.

You pay for your own gas

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

Yep. So use a vehicle good on gas. I get like 30mpg+ so it won't be too bad. I also live very close to the Amazon pick up stations and that makes a big difference, especially if any packages are undeliverable which happens. Those you MUST bring back same day or first thing in the morning if closed. I also imagine if gas prices continue to go up Amazon will have to pay more or drivers will quit.

In a nutshell, how does your taxes go?

[@kaelle]

i’ve only done a couple shifts and made less than the needed to get a w2 so i’m not very sure

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

It's 1099 so you should pay quarterly.. just track mileage from the time the app is on to off. Then write off 59 cents a mile. Unless you are making a crap ton of money you should pay very little. If making a lot try to bank like 15% to cover the taxes.

[@johndowns7536]

A late model car like yours costs a buck per mile to drive. Better factor that in, sugar.

[@mytravls]

You should update the title for this video. I’m 4:19 mins in and still how much you made? Was hoping to see a tax situation and not how you make deliveries.

[@kaelle]

why? this isn’t a “how much i made” video

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

She showed how much near the end. You don't have to worry about taxes unless you start doing it a lot and making enough. It is 1099 so file quarterly and figure bank 15% for taxes. Write off 59 cents per mile. If you are not making a lot and do enough miles it will be almost nothing. But if making bank save money for taxes.

[@crimpers5543]

probably make more money doing OF, ngl

[@jayfrieze9277]

Amazon flex sucks. They say you can get hours to fit your schedule, but push 4:30 PM and later shifts in areas where it's all apartments, and of course no parking. Don't waste your time.

[@acehawk45]

depends where you live so if you live in houston it's not just apartment's i have delivered to houses as well, the reason its apartments for you is cause the amazon truck driver can't access the amazon hub mail locker which in some places at some apartments the amazon hub locker is sometimes located in the leasing office or next to mailroom and at my apartment the hub is located outside next to the mailboxes open 24/7 some mailroms have codes to get in some don't so don't assume just cause amazon has you delivered to apartment's only it happens everywhere else that's not the case

[@jayfrieze9277]

@@acehawk45 I'm sure that's true. The other problem is, they only have late time slots. Apartments, would be easy in the day when people are at work.I do Uber Eats now, and thet truly have flexible schedules, and you never make less than $20 after gas. You work clos to home. You start when you feel like it. Suits me better, but they're kind of a shitty company.
