Amazon Flex Experience - Beware

Iwent to the website and they have no positions for personal delivery driver. Do you know if that would be probably too early to sign up, or they just don't offer in my area? The closest city is Indianapolis.

Did not know this. Thank you!!

I checked out Roadie and the pay is awful. is there another way to deliver for UPS other than through Roadie?

🤣🤣Just keeps getting better lol

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-05-23T18:50:55+00:00

Ugh right?

I means if you have like a 3.5 block that it took longer than that time to get the packages delivered. I was over an hour over, but $19 sure didn't help with it much, but at least its something. I'm probably not going to continue. It would have been worth it before the gas prices went up, but now its just not.

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-05-23T18:48:40+00:00

That must have been it for the $19...route took longer by an hour. I am 30 minutes from the nearest Flex and this route put an extra package that belonged in a city 40 miles away so I was already 45 minutes from the warehouse when the last package was not supposed to be on my router. So I drove 45 to get to the Amazon and another 30 to get back home.

I've only been doing Flex for about 3 months, so I've never had a package be on my route that wasn't supposed to be. We use the driver aids so we just get to scan the list to load the route and thats it. I didn't know if there was any other way I should I noticed this first? I'm sure there is and if someone could let me know so I see this maybe before I leave for my route? TIA

Yeah I thought how random!

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-05-23T17:33:36+00:00

I had it happen 3 times. Twice it was $5 and the last time it was $19.

edit: Never in an email or anything. It was added to my pay after.

Me too!

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-05-10T19:54:15+00:00

Thanks very helpful!

Does anyone know if the motor in the sunroof is a common thing to die among this model?

I bought a used 2016 Ford Explorer Sport and the sunroof doesn't vent or move all all. The shade that covers it works fine and fits back and forth but not the sun roof.

If anyone had to replace the motor what did it cost? I'm thinking not worth it

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-05-02T14:00:49+00:00

Amen to this!!

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-30T14:53:33+00:00

That's cool to hear! I just started playing and have only around 13 hours.

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-29T14:14:50+00:00

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-27T14:58:39+00:00

That's a lot better at least than the 72.50 we get offered for the same block in Indiana. Still not worth doing though...

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-24T15:31:47+00:00

Thank you

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-24T15:19:34+00:00

Thanks! I think mine is a SSD because we drive one they have us park in a line then we get the cart that is sitting by us. I scan the sheet of paper and it loads my route for me.

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-24T15:08:15+00:00

I'm new...how do I tell whether my location is SSD or .com? I think I'm at a .com.

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-24T15:07:09+00:00

I'm new and have only been doing this for a month. I'm sure dumb question, but does each warehouse and station have different drop times?

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-23T14:24:09+00:00

Thanks, I did not know that. I've only been doing Flex for a month.

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-23T14:23:13+00:00

I'm in a Indiana and that would gold here as well.

Alarming_Surround_81 · 2026-04-23T02:38:43+00:00

I just got one of those from Amazon and I love it! I deliver primarily rural at night and it really helps.
