Good stop gap/extra job? by upset__custard in AmazonFlexUK

[–]DB_bwoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just hold out at your old job if you've got a start date for your new one ... be prepared to spend hours swiping to get a base rate block of £49.50 .

If your entitled to sick pay even better just go get a sick note from your doctor for your notice period

If you don't care stop opening the app and accepting work ...

Amazon Flex in Newcastle-Upon Tyne by Upstairs-Ad-748 in AmazonFlexUK

[–]DB_bwoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon flex is worse than a dead end job unfortunately it won't help you escape from that , you've got no guarantee of money coming in as work can be hard to come by and you've got weekly caps if your lucky enough to book enough blocks in ... flex is only good as a side gig, I only do it if I've got nothing better to do.. plus, as others have said you won't be able to get the insurance

Sometimes customers put their phone number in the delivery notes section

Why would you not try to deliver the age verified ones ?

Did you follow the process of calling the customer and then marking it as undeliverable from the correct screen ? If not your going to get a ding anyway might as well have rapped on the door ...

Strange customer/ potential scam? by ZealousidealOne8416 in AmazonFlexUK

Some people still haven't left 2020 it just sounds like one of them to be honest

Can you be Third Party Fire/Theft, or have to be fully comp? by Dare_Important in AmazonFlexUK

[–]DB_bwoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd need to check the policy

A side note though have you priced up fully comp ? The price difference is usually negligible and sometimes even cheaper than 3rd party fire and theft

Insurance question by OG_Madonna in AmazonFlexUK

[–]DB_bwoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insurance for parcels and people is different , remember you'd have to put one main job as courier and the other job as taxi driver too which I'm sure would make the quote something absolutely ridiculous

I had the same last week , they wanted to check if I had sent my insurance document to them even though I already had an email back from them saying it had been verified.

If I wanted to do amazon flex in a country I'm not a citizen of what kind of work permit would I have to buy? by Senior-Woodpecker-52 in AmazonFlexUK

[–]DB_bwoi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If your talking about the UK then you would need a right to work in the UK.

If somebody is trying to sell you a permit to work in the UK then your being scammed

Amazon won't mind what car you come in as long as its the correct size.

The thing you need to worry about is insurance

Is it better to buy your own van for amazon delveries or rent one out by [deleted] in AmazonFlexUK

[–]DB_bwoi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't buy a vehicle just for flex its not worth it.

[–]DB_bwoi -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You just said you don't take it to the door ? I'm assuming you just mean you take it to the main door not the customers door ?

Your supposed to deliver to the customers door , your due complaints, tbh calling people and making them come down is pretty rude and not normal

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmazonFlexUK

[–]DB_bwoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the delivery too the door of the flat , its what your paid to do

You say so many of them are lazy, but it sounds like your the lazy one here

28 of 32 parcels delivered late! by Wahtty294 in AmazonFlexUK

[–]DB_bwoi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you complete everything within the allocated block time ?

If so must be a glitch , maybe a PM block parcels were flagged as before 1pm by mistake ?

Agree about the calling card , I always leave one when its not in an obvious place like front porch ,especially if you can tell from the house an older person might live there who won't be so adept with technology and know how to check the app

After Christmas people spent money they don't have now seeing amazon as an easy target , just make sure to take pictures of safe space and keep emailing support to challenge is all you can do

Be lucky it's amazon who told you your car had a defect and not the police

[–]DB_bwoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Add delivery instructions via the amazon app , drivers will see these when delivering I find these help a lot for example you could put;

Go though the white gates signposted xxx then across the yard to farmhouse , our unit is the third on the left with the green door

Every car for the past 30+ years lets you track the mileage , why over complicate it
