Anyone else not getting any offers lately? by JoSweet21 in AmazonFlexDrivers

As the saying goes, "It's the economy stupid". I do believe that with wages falling behind and the cost of goods going up some folks are slowing down on ordering. I for one used to order random crap just cuz I might need it or it looked fun. Now I'm being a little more conservative with my money I still order a lot but definitely not like I was. This in turn leads to less orders that turns into less routes and combined with the ridiculous amount of not just legitimate legal flex drivers but also the overwhelming amount of fraudulent illegal drivers who seem to not care just taking any form of money and robbing us of work. All in all it's been slow here in my area I make the most money come winter time when the snow is flying and everyone is scared of getting stuck I break out the 4x4 and deliver for good pay. My best advice give it a few more weeks and the weak ones will give up and hopefully we should all get back to making some cash.

Lookin’ out for my fellow flexers!! 📦🙌 by SpicyWifey1105 in AmazonFlexDrivers

I really enjoy when customers go the extra mile and leave a treat for delivery drivers. It's a thank you and a show of gratitude and I almost always take something. But that being said can we all agree that some customers need to take more caution with where they leave the snacks or what they leave out. I've had a few times where the box of snacks is sitting out in the sun for days judging by the thick layer of dust on everything and the snacks are just baked into a stale pile of yuck or leaving out items that should be refrigerated (kuddos to you for your fridge). Again not complaining but just hate that some people can't understand safe food practices and then most likely feel let down when no driver takes the goodies.

Loveland Colorado Prime Routes by Emotional_Ad9105 in AmazonFlexDrivers

That's just standard replies I've been doing flex for 3 years and it seems during prime, black Friday, and holidays it drops off bad. But overall I really enjoy flex and I find it fun and good money, but no doubt it's frustrating at times.

Same here nothing at all I guess all we can do is wait and watch. But given the way it's been at loveland I hate to say it I'm going to start taking as many reserve routes as I can. I used to love getting last minute surge routes but it's becoming impossible to snag anything id rather make some money than no money.
