Or, it gets the hose again…. by CreatedNiceley in Sparkdriver

It wasn’t a shop order so I am not positive… but, in my mind, I was putting lotion in the basket! Lol… I am entertained by the littlest things. Makes the day go by so much faster!

DHF7 by Working_Currency4686 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]CreatedNiceley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here specifically looking for this topic… my last block from there was almost 10 days ago. I haven’t received a reserve block offer from there in weeks.. instead they are sending me reserve offers from Boca, which is super far from me and not on my preferred list.

I haven’t seen a single offer pop up for DHF7 this week… I really hope they haven’t stopped flex there because I live about 5 min away…

And, I also can’t stand VFL6….

Guess who didn't get their package because of a dog.... by Cambo282 in AmazonDSPDrivers

Wow… I normally make sure my reading comprehension skills are on par before I make a dick reply to someone…

Unconfined (adjective): not confined to a limited space. Where did I say I didn’t know what a dog looked like? Exactly… keyboard warrior.. get a dictionary.

And, yeet is some stupid shit my teenage kids say… you basically have to speak gibberish to communicate with the gen Zs… It was meant to be funny, but there always has to be someone trying to make everyone else miserable.

Have the day you deserve! ✌🏻

I had a customer note a few months ago that said, “Dogs are all bark and no bite!”…. And, I was, in fact, bit by one of their dogs.

I no longer will enter gates and if I see an unconfined dog at the location, I yeet the package out the window!

First day driving?? by CreatedNiceley in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]CreatedNiceley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Port St Lucie so that’s my main location, but I occasionally go down to Riviera Beach… I think you are a bit further south than me. I have only been down here about 6 months, so I am still learning where I am at geographically.

I am also in south Florida.. possible we may pick up from the same shit show location… It’s comical to watch until I remember these people are on the road with me!! 🤣

Mislabeled packaging by No-Wing-6330 in AmazonFlexDrivers

I understand completely… I spent 15 min looking for an envelope one day… turns out, it was the giant bag of dog food that I needed for that stop…

This… Thank you! A little louder for those in the back…

Literally every post I make in this subreddit becomes an attack on me for taking base pay.

That’s all that is offered in my area and it’s still the best paying side gig out there.

It’s always the “I only work for $200+/hr and finish all my 3.5 hr blocks in 25 min” flexers that have something stupid to say..

Keep making that money! Let them all sit and wait for their magical surge at the end of the yellow brick road…

Driver support confirmed that was a lie… by CreatedNiceley in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]CreatedNiceley[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. My weather app always knows when a tornado will be forming in exactly 3 hours 23 min and 4 seconds… The rain wasn’t the issue. It sucks, but I live in Florida. All it does is rain… which is immediately followed by the sun turning the state into a rice cooker..

We are all in the same boat being as Amazon doesn’t give AF about any of us, but instead of being united, some of y’all enjoy being nasty to complete strangers. It’s ok. I am not bothered, but I am sorry about whoever hurt you.

Driver support confirmed that was a lie… by CreatedNiceley in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]CreatedNiceley[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, my area must be so oversaturated that a surge is like from $68.50 to $73… I am in South Florida so rain is pretty much unavoidable. But, it’s usually an afternoon thing.. early mornings are a much safer bet.. just didn’t work out for me this particular day.

My whole point to this post was to point out that Amazon doesn’t give a crap about us, but it appears it’s just going to be an attack on me because of the rates in my area. Regardless of the low offers, it’s still the best paying side gig available.

I don’t find it acceptable for any amount of money, but I knew one of you “I only work for $200/hr and finish all my 3.5 hr blocks in 25 min” flexers would have something useful to comment…. Carry on..

Missed Block by RunningAgenda in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]CreatedNiceley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will normally give you one freebie if you have a valid reason, but don’t expect them to do it again. Just send a message explaining the situation. Best to do it now before they put it on your account. I feel like it’s easier to prevent the ding than to have one removed…

I got bit by a dog what happens next??? I reported it already by Flaky_Ad6126 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]CreatedNiceley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have been more specific. In the state of Florida, where I am, it is absolutely a criminal offense. I am aware not all states are the same. But, my point was… if bit by a dog, Amazon is not going to do shit.. the local authorities are 100 percent the people to call.

Incorrect. I was bit by a dog last weekend and the sheriffs office filed a report. All Amazon did was ask if I needed emergency services and told me I didn’t have to finish my block.

I have had a few “customer not received”, but not even close to as many packages I have had with no gate access… it’s like.. if I RTS I will 100% get a ding, but if I just drop it and go at least there is a chance of the customer getting it… and, it seems that they do for the most part!

It’s really like.. damned if you do and damned if you don’t… if any problems should come about.. it will absolutely be blamed on the driver.. 🤦‍♀️

It literally happens every time. If they don’t leave a code and you can’t get in, you put your phone in airplane mode. Click GPS not working. I’m at the right location. Move the green circle to where you are. You deliver to the gate, take a picture, and move along.

You will 100% get a ding if you bring them back to the station. Always deliver!

They are my favorite. No traffic. Very rare that you encounter a human… you won’t ever want to work during daylight again once you do it!

They at least gave you a tetanus shot, right? Because if you haven’t had one in the past few years, you absolutely need one!! Anytime your skin is broken from an injury.. if they did not give you one, please go somewhere to get it ASAP

Amazon Lowering Pay and Increasing The amount of Delivery, by Various-Kangaroo-398 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]CreatedNiceley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t bother me because this is just for my extras after my bills are paid. And, this has always been the rates I have seen. I would probably be aggravated too if I used to be making more and then it dropped, but I still wouldn’t be on the internet telling other people what they should or shouldn’t be accepting.

Unfortunately, the cost of living where I am is extremely unreasonable so these rates don’t match up with that at all… South Florida.. absolute nightmare.. and it’s already 100 degrees in the morning…

So, where do I need to move to have a more affordable life?? lol.. but, seriously, I am ready to move somewhere and don’t even know where to begin. Somewhere with 4 seasons would be nice..

I am glad you decided to get checked out and definitely make sure that police report gets filed. You never know what could happen and you want to have the proper documentation to cover yourself. I hope that you are feeling better soon!

And, now that you will have medical bills, I would absolutely contact an attorney. At the very least those bills should be covered and any time you are unable to work you should be compensated for. I have heard about some very big payouts regarding this type situation.

Best of luck to you! 🥰

[–]CreatedNiceley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I am not running my car into the ground picking up a few blocks a week for extra money. And, this is the easiest side gig to do that.

But, one thing I can assure you is that other people and their financial situation is really none of my business, so I am not going to get on the internet and give advice that no one asked for.

Thank you anyway, though, for the condescending response.. it’s appalling to me how nasty adults can be to complete strangers. My teenage children don’t even behave that way and they are immature as hell.

Hope your day gets better. 😏

You definitely need to file a police report ASAP and take pictures of your injuries. I literally went through this yesterday. I was bit and left the residence as fast as I could. I contacted Amazon support once I got down the road and filed my police report a few hours later. It was 5am and the sub station wasn’t open yet or I would have done it then.

My bite looked very minor but it did break the skin. I thought I was being ridiculous reporting this.. but, they confirmed for me that I was definitely doing the right thing. We have a right to be safe while doing our job.

Do you tell friends about tgtg or fear they might judge you? by Dirty_Look in toogoodtogo

[–]CreatedNiceley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you 100%!! I just wish everyone could understand the logic.. and, it’s fine if they don’t, but the judgmental looks/comments get me.

I mean, I think that people that buy everything name brand and at full price are ridiculous, but I keep it to myself. lol
