This was the last stop of my high mileage block. I was indeed thirsty and hungry when I saw this. Thank God for sending such people

This is just outside the already full parking lot inside the gates. It’s the worst I’ve seen yet and on top of that I got set free from route tonight because there were no routes left. 🤷🏽‍♂️

What does this mean? Arrived 15 mins before time and this came up while finding my route. No staging number. Talked to the manger there who didn’t seem to know what to do and said there were no more routes and “discharged” me from the route. Idk what that means, but will I not get paid and will it dong me for it?

How do I have 2 late deliveries when I ALWAYS finish 1-2hrs early?

Context: My area is extremely low pay, we don’t get offers for blocks more than 3 hours. The standard pay for a 3 hour block is $61.50.
The area I deliver on has mainly 1-2 city centers really but pretty rural in between.

It used to be, we got around 30 packages for 3 hour block, now we’re doing high 30s to 40 packages for the same rate. I was doing 4am-6am blocks as they can be at a higher rate of near $70 if you’re lucky.

But right now they’re offering those early blocks for around $60 again and we have ten more packages to deliver on the daily.

What’s your average package amount for 3 hours and typically distance? 😣

I had a 3.5 hour block scheduled to start at 2:15am. I always get there 15 minutes early to get a jump on my route. I scan in and walk to the door we usually go in. It’s closed. No big deal, it was cool out. Maybe they closed it to keep out the cool air and rain. I try the door but it won’t open. Ten minutes go by before two kids (early 20s) try opening it from the inside. They can’t. They go get help. An older (late 30s) dude tries and can’t open the automatic door. I tell him to try the roll-up door. He blows me off. At 2:40 the doors finally open. I go to scan my route, but it’s been reassigned. I’m waiting for a new route and I hop on with support. They submit a ticket and about 5 minutes later my app says to go see an associate. I give the associate my name and he discharges me with pay.

I’m not complaining. It just baffles me that it took 40 minutes for someone to figure out how to open the automatic door. 🤣

I’m scrolling through 217 offered & most are $10-$14.
Is there a way to filter anything under 2 hours out?

My standing was Fantastic and I got deactivated for supposedly not delivering packages, not attempting deliveries, and not returning packages on time.
The packages I brought up in my appeals were missing at pickup or removed by station staff before I left. I never had them with me on the route. Sent screenshots explaining this, but got two generic rejections. Waiting on another appeal now. 20k packages delivered.
Any advice ?

Had a cart that was being delivered to another driver.

Some miracle. I was assigned as the second driver. They told me someone took the cart and have not returned it... So they ask me to wait 30 minutes.

Supervisor said. Okay. You free to go. Gave me the qr code and I was offline.

One week later - my rating drop like a rock.

33 package missing. Unbelievable...

Send it to support. They said due to previous exemption. We will not grant any more exemption any more for this request?

I am so confused. What exemption you granted the past 3 months?

What a wild situation.

*Case still pending* - I am so mad right now. I drop from excellent to at risk in one go.

Can't even attempt a route because if I do. I probably lose the account entirely.

This fucking guy disconnected while I was writing my issue, I didn’t even take 20 seconds. I’m so pissed.

Last week, my standing dipped below fair because I had some late deliveries.

I didn’t complain, throw a fit, or quit.

I did whatever it took to be the best worker I could be going Forward.

That means showing up 15 minutes early every single time and hustling fast and staying focused.

I’m getting sick of seeing all these people complain about their standing and not doing anything about it!

get to work, And do the best you can each and every day or you will get left behind, always try find ways to improve the way you work

God bless

2 days in a row our station was closed, and customer service is refusing to pay even though their policy says we still get paid if we show up and its closed. I’ve been emailing back and forth and they keep trying to push me away saying things like my email has been hacked and they wont pay. Its crazy. What do i do?

The station workers were scrambling to find packages for about half the drivers on our block. I ended up with 2 packages. Sweet

Received a ding for a package that I didn't return in time. But here's the thing, I never had a package to return. I noticed the extra package on my cart, returned it to the kiosk before leaving the station, and before the route finished, I received a notification saying I had a package to return. Well, I didn't and I figured it would come off my itinerary once they scanned it in at the station but for some reason it never did.

So I sent a message through the chat support, they said they'd get back to me, they did and said they reviewed my case and the penalty stands. Well, I forwarded the message to Jeff at Amazon, tried my best to explain to them what happened. They just got back to me and said they reviewed it and I'm still being dinged.

This makes absolutely no sense. I did nothing wrong. They can't even explain to me what it is. I supposedly did? So discouraging, It's really shocking how removed from reality and common sense. They are. Otherwise a great company to work for, but for some reason they want to punish the drivers for things that they didn't even do, this was a mistake on their app and I've tried my best to explain it twice, using my own free time to draft these emails.

So I’m wondering how come I get sent so far for all my blocks I already live 15-20 mins away from the stations depending on traffic. But from the station itself I’ve been sent to area that are an hour and 10-15 mins away. It’s been over a year and it’s always the same three neighboring cities.

Here are mine thus far…

Gotta love when you get a unicorn route. Only second one I have gotten in almost 2 months working here. It was a 3 hour block for $75 I finished in 20 mins and headed back home 😁

I started my on-boarding process and submitted my information for background check a week ago.

The home page says that it will take 3-5 days and there are no more steps for me to complete. But, the support page says that my background check has not been started yet.

I reached out to support and they said that it says I have not started the background check process yet. I was advised to not log out/log back in. All they could do is escalate it.

Has anyone else had this issue before?

Had a 04:15 block and when I got to the station the app was saying I had a package in my itinerary that didn’t exist. Support attempted to delete the package, but in doing so disabled my account for about 45 minutes, making me miss my block.

Has anyone else had this happen? Should I expect to have to argue getting dinged for missing my block?

I’ve been doing Amazon Flex for a little while now, and I’ve noticed that whenever a good-paying block pops up, it’s gone within literally a second.
I try to grab it as soon as it appears, but somehow someone always gets it before me. It’s honestly frustrating, especially when the regular offers aren’t worth taking.
For those of you who consistently get good-paying blocks, what’s your strategy? Do you refresh at certain times, or is it just luck?
Any tips would be appreciated because I feel like I’m competing with bots at this point lol.

I noticed this week all the route for fucked up.

I always make my own route and finish 1 hour instead of 3 hours.

I hope their system keep being like this. Because its easy money. Lol
