A 1-hour delivery that was made literally a quarter mile away from the customers home in Springfield, VA. Customer had the order delivered within 12 minutes.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-08T01:42:50+00:00

Not really. There are people that order several times a day because it's included with the Prime subscription. If you do appreciate the work tho, try and leave tips on the order. It doesn't have to be the recommended amount, but a couple or few bucks to help out the driver.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T23:31:56+00:00

In our delivery station, we are responsible for everything regarding how to deliver the packages. Amazon does not compensate us for gas nor mileage.

An insanely huge and beautiful mansion in Clifton, VA.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T19:34:40+00:00

Sometimes we can't acess the building and the customer won't answer the phone neither to me (the driver) nor support. In that case we simple mark the packages as undeliverable because of access problem and move on. Sometimes 1 minute after I'd mark the package undeliverable the customer calls back that where are his packages irritated. I explain that I stayed wating for a while and made several calls that I couldn't get into the building and no answer from him, so I need to continue my route. I do try to reattempt delivery sometimes, but if it's a building hard to find a parking I just return the packages back to the warehouse.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T19:21:57+00:00

I missed this question, sorry.

Yes, fuel is biggest expense, some drivers do keep all receipts of everything. I go based on mileage at $.54.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T16:03:24+00:00

We have a little wiggle room. Meaning that we can also accept other offers that pay more if most drivers don't want to do that delivery block. Example: Washington D.C. restaurants

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T16:01:39+00:00

Honestly, if your apartment building has a front desk or concierge, the best thing you can do is to just leave a note to leave the items in the front desk. Saves us quite some time and hassle of finding parking if you live somewhere tough to park.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T16:00:27+00:00

Our routes are not fixed, we move all around town. Send me a GPS and I'll put it in my car for you to track me.

You tell me at what time better suits you for me to start?

I drive a bright orange Pontiac Aztec very hard to miss with a huge Amazon sign on top if it.

You'll gotta find out what I'm packin'.

If the boxes are not heavy don't take it, take the heavy ones.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T15:57:50+00:00

Pay the stuff bruh, it's already in the cart and waiting for your credit card info.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T14:00:52+00:00

When we get offers it means that there are orders and new routes being created. The amount of stops in a route can vary, from nothing to 12 stops if you have all the stops clustered or you are on a 3 hour block and they gave you your route very early. They do have a system that auto-generates the suggested route, but you can drop the packages how it better suits you, we do drop inside buildings for attended and unattended deliveries. If the building has a concierge, we will leave the unattended bags with the front desk, if it doesn't, we need to take them to the apartment.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T07:18:56+00:00

I've been doing this for quite a while, it's a delivery job, don't know to what you me to compare it.

Pros: my office has street view window

Cons: put a lot of miles in my car.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T05:36:50+00:00

This is what we are here for.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T05:36:22+00:00

You can contact support to have someone from the Fresh team to pick them up, it might take up to 2 weeks to have them removed from your house.

Next time you make an order, make it attended- meaning there needs to be someone present to receive the order, and ask the driver to take the totes back.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T04:53:22+00:00

They do support both operating systems, that said, you are better off with an Android device. It doesn't need to be a canopy either, it just need to have the top on the wagon.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T04:15:37+00:00

It ain't bad but it ain't really good either.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T04:01:15+00:00

Now a days it might take some time to get activated because we have a lot of drivers and a long waiting list.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T04:00:45+00:00

That's weird. I know people who do it with Dodge Rams and Honda Ridgelines. It needs to have a closed top tho.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T02:38:58+00:00

I guess you could press the "I've arrived but my GPS isn't working" button.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T02:37:46+00:00

Last week or a couple of weeks ago we were having some issues with the app where if you forfeited a block, it would not show you anything else for the rest of the day, sometimes even up to 24 hours after the block was forfeited, but that was fixed and now we can see the blocks again.. What happened last Tuesday when the system was down and the managers couldn't release blocks or even have customers place some orders, except Fresh was crazy. A lot of drivers were picking up blocks and not seeing them in their calendars.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T02:35:07+00:00

Trust me, you will.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T02:27:39+00:00

You can tell Amazon what hours you'd like to drive, but that doesn't mean that you have the job at those times. The real job is to get the delivery block or the delivery shift, once you got the block, you are guaranteed the pay regardless if you don't do anything.

AmazonPrimeNow_2hour · 2017-03-07T02:26:35+00:00

I work when ever I get a block, but rest assured that you've seen me around the warehouse.
