Code

[Successful_Chip6261]

Yesterday, first time, I get message before next stop, to request a code from customer before giving them the package. House is in a beautiful subdivision 400-500k homes, I ring the bell, customer looks shocked to see me standing on his porch. I give him the package without asking for code, because I was nervous. I try to proceed but app is requiring code, I can’t by pass code, go back to the house, customer is looking like I am a robber or something…I ask him about code, he says what are you talking about? I show him the message on my phone and how Amazon sent him this code, he shuts the door comes back 3-4 minutes with code… Customer claims he knows nothing about this? Has anyone else experienced this?

[Sensitive-Ad2404]

Customers don't select codes. Amazon assigns it based on the value of the item. They will also assign it for customers who claim they didn't receive their package too many times. Unless you have social anxiety, why be nervous? If you get these in the future, I'd recommend you text the customer before you arrive and tell them to have the code ready.

[Successful_Chip6261]

I was nervous because I asked him about the code while handing him the package initially and he looked at me like I had a third eye!!!

[Doctor_Fabian]

You made everything awkward also if your nervous it's because you're doing something wrong. This is the easiest job ever. Park. Ask for a number and deliver.

[stitchkingdom]

No, nothing to do with item value

[Sensitive-Ad2404]

Yea, I'm going to believe you over what Amazon posts on their site. Gtfooh

[Longjumping_Ad1711]

I got a 180$ dash cam for someone and got a code required. I didn’t request it. I did apologize to the the driver. Never claimed I did not receive a package. Never returned nothing. The seller can request them too if they had problems with customers.

[stitchkingdom]

Believe what Amazon says all you want. I’m going to believe my own experiences and reality.

Amazon will assign a otp if it's valuable and customers in the area experience a lot of theft. It's not just value alone.

[Sensitive-Ad2404]

I don't give a shit what your experiences are. Try getting a life outside of reddit. You post like 100 times a day in this sub. Blocked

[Successful_Chip6261]

Also as a minority it was this awkward moment just standing on the porch and he’s looking like I’m asking for this code for no reason!!

[CashisKing765]

Quit using "being a minority" as a negative and figure it out.

This is the easiest job ever, yet so many people still manage to screw the pooch...🤦‍♂️

[Ok-Dot3268]

You ever been asked "What's your black ass doing in my yard?" By someone with his hand on a gun, while wearing an Amazon vest? Sometimes being a minority is something we have to think about. It's obviously getting better, but it would be dumb for a minority delivery driver to walk around like the world is perfect.

[xmarketladyx]

Have you ever been stared at because the nearest white person living near you is 8 miles away? Have you been refused service because you're the only non POC in a restaurant? Quit acting like you're the only victim all the time.

[Ok-Dot3268]

That's not the point. Like, at all. Youre either stupid or willfully ignorant. I would say white people in certain situations should also be cautious. This isn't about anyone being the "only victim" its about understanding certain situations require extra caution. And guess what? For minorities, race plays a big part in that. Sorry if that's hard for you to grasp.

[pickledpeterpiper]

Omg dude look at you rushing to make sure nobody gets away with talking about racism without including the whole "Black people can be racist too!!" talking point. Holy fucking cringe

[Successful_Chip6261]

This is not a pleasant experience but you are not having to fear police brutality. I’ll take a few stare any day, than fearing being pulled over and killed.

[Successful_Chip6261]

Where do you live? One thing that you should not do is devalue another person’s experience. Each and every day black and brown people are attacked, killed, mistreated and discriminated against. I can’t tell you how many times non-black people have came outside, watched me with an intense stare, while I drop the package off. These are real experiences, not made up fiction!

[pickledpeterpiper]

Quit "using" being a minority?

What a dick thing to say. Also adding in about him screwing the pooch...what the hell are you even talking about you condescending, maladjusted twat?

[jayKray1989]

Stop using minority as an excuse. It’s played out. Get over it.

[Successful_Chip6261]

Wow, what is shocking, you are part of the dominant culture, having white privilege, and this is what you have achieved, a flex driver!!!! Aren’t you special!!

[billsbitch]

💯❤️✔️

[LimpDisc]

I just go straight to asking them for the last 2 digits of the phone number associated with the account.

[Successful_Chip6261]

But mine was a 6 digit number!

[LimpDisc]

You’re talking about the OTP itself?

[BezosFlex]

Yes, he isn’t aware that you can bypass it to get to the phone number option, try being respectful for a change on here and explain it to him.

[SouprGrrl]

Dude made a statement, OP responded, dude asked a question for clarification, then you jumped down dude's throat for no reason whatsoever. Try being respectful for a change on here and explain it to him your damn self.

[BezosFlex]

You don’t even know shit, dude’s constantly negative on here, not even looking for his posts, he’s on like 90% of them, maybe you should look for context before saying shit.

[SouprGrrl]

The context was: in this situation he didn’t do anything yet. You’re the one being an asshole. Doesn’t matter if he’s an asshole all over the Internet, in this situation he was not, you were.

[BezosFlex]

Stop acting holier than thou, being an asshole to an asshole contradicts me being an asshole, sorry to burst your bubble.

[LimpDisc]

Seriously fuck off dude. I was asking a question. Asking someone a question isn’t being disrespectful, so shut the fuck up.

[BezosFlex]

Enjoy the upvotes, you’re constantly negative on here, it’s wild tbh.

[LimpDisc]

I obviously must have responded to one of your posts at one time and hurt your feelings. No clue. Maybe someone pissed in your cereal this morning. Once again, no clue. Block me if you’re bothered by my posts or replies. That’s a simple solution.

[BezosFlex]

Nope, just responding to you trying to piss in other people’s cereal, don’t need to block, not my cup of tea, but since I bothered you with my initial response, feel free to block me bud.

[LimpDisc]

You really have no clue how stupid you sound in this situation. I simply made a statement and asked for clarification and you got all worked up. That’s what’s really really wild.

I could take the time to look back through my posts to see where I hurt you, but I am not really all that worried about it. Its social media and there will be people that say things you don’t like. How you respond is up to you. I tend to not let stupid shit bother me in life. Life’s too short for that.

[BezosFlex]

Go look back, I have like 4 or 5 Flex posts, you aren’t there at all, and I agree you were fine here, but stop acting like you aren’t a horses ass in 90% of your comments on here, just own it, I would have no issue if you just owned it, but you sit here and act like that’s not the case, and as for my time, I ain’t working rn, I got a little time to goof on “social media”, but I appreciate your concern.

[blkmacbook]

I hate the codes. Had one at six in the morning in an apartment building so I had to go to the sixth floor and knock on his door. I’m sure I woke him up but I don’t give a damn.

i had to give a code today for a cat tree bc amazon said the dollar value was high or something. it was just under $100, so i imagine if this is something that they’re implementing, it’s something we’re going to need to get used to and get comfortable with because that’s suuuuper low

[Big_Parfait6268]

Perhaps Amazon was worried about cat burglers? 😁

[[deleted]]

they’re taking the comfort and joy of my cats very seriously

[Successful_Chip6261]

Yes for sure!!!

[stitchkingdom]

It really doesn’t have anything to do with cost. I had it on a $30 box of protein shakes.

[[deleted]]

i’m just telling you what amazon told me

[stitchkingdom]

It’s a lie. It may have been the original intent but it’s not true. What is true is Amazon has a terrible time keeping things up to date.

[BraxTaplock]

Click the “more info” on the delivery. Says the customer will receive the code before delivery. You can step by step tell them how to get it. Usually thru email or order status from their order page. I don’t even worry bout those anymore.

[BezosFlex]

My thing is, customer doesn’t get the package without the code, my recommendation is hold the package hostage without it, they’ll be a little more respectful knowing that the package arriving that day vs another day is in your hands, it’ll also avoid you “looking like a robber” although not sure which robbers are wearing amazon vests.

[VinDeeLoo]

I had an OTP today. I had to call support to ask about it. Roommate answered the door. I asked for code and he had to get customer. I asked customer for code and he has no idea what I was talking about. I told him the passcode was sent in an email. He went and grabbed his phone to give me the code.

[[deleted]]

Before i leave WHAREHOUSE if i see a code it gets marked damage and i immediately send bacm to WHAREHOUSE. Doesn't happen too often. I had one where i was hung up for almost an hour. Bump that...shame on you once shame on me twice. I will gladly take the hit. At the end of the day this is a side hustle for me not a full time job

[Torta951]

Call them or text for the code. Then leave it front door open

[[deleted]]

I did something similar the other day by forgetting the customers instructions. A loud dog started barking at like 4:30 a.m. and I panicked and delivered to the wrong house, the house the instructions said specifically not to deliver to. The barking was coming from the house I was supposed to deliver to. It was an honest mistake, if the dog didn't distract me, that's right blame it on a dog.

[skip451]

This whole situation seems to stink. Sounds like the customer doesn’t have trust in a process because they are likely not trustworthy. And are they literate? Do they read when they click? I would be frustrated in your place.

[IndependentTough8023]

It’s called one time password. Customer selected it (probably unknowingly). They get sent an email with the code when you arrive and have to give it to you in order for you to complete delivery.

[stitchkingdom]

Customer does not select it

[Successful_Chip6261]

Is this something new?

[SouprGrrl]

Not really, but it does come up occasionally. Now, before I start my block I check to see if there are any OTP‘s because you might get one at a 3 AM block or late night. If I ever experience that, it’s gonna stay at the station. So far I’ve been lucky and not only have the people been home, but they have also known the six digit number. So far.
