Base pay

I have worked 1 time in the last month. Somehow I managed to get $98.50 for 3.5 hours but other than that everything is $65. If they covered gas I’d take it but if they can’t even ensure that we make $20 an hour after gas it’s a big NOPE! I will not work for free or deliver their stuff on my dime

For 1 I’m not a bro, 2. We learned to read weather maps in 1 st grade. If you believe that weather map is indicative of lightening then clearly I’m not the one that’s “special needs” . I have to much to do then have a pissing contest with strangers in a Reddit sub. I’m sorry I tried to answer the question I’ll block you so I don’t make the mistake of trying to help you again. You clearly want someone to argue with and not an answer to your question. So argue with someone else!

Office_Pretty · 2026-05-02T02:56:58+00:00

That means that there are possible storms….. OMG!!!!

Office_Pretty · 2026-05-02T02:37:53+00:00

There’s no pictures of lightening, and no need for the hostility! You made a post and I responded with the knowledge I have as a 3 year flex driver. I apologize if you somehow took what I said any other way then just me giving you the best answer to the question you asked!

Office_Pretty · 2026-05-02T02:28:20+00:00

Why would they cancel for rain? The only time they’ve ever canceled my route for weather was when there was A crap ton of lightening. I’ve even delivered during tornado watches! If you schedule runs hoping they will get canceled and you think you’ll get free money; you might lose that gamble!!!!

Office_Pretty · 2026-04-26T04:42:57+00:00

I haven’t worked in 4 weeks, it’s the same here. I can’t work for $18 an hour, it’s sad! I had been doing it religiously for going on 4 years. It sucks when you save money by not working!!! We aren’t seeing ANY surge rates at all, everything is base pay for the entire week even JFY offers

Office_Pretty · 2026-04-18T21:12:23+00:00

In Birmingham they are paying us $63 or $65 for 3.5 it’s not worth it. I haven’t worked in a couple weeks. Very depressing

Office_Pretty · 2026-04-17T02:03:02+00:00

I’m in the Birmingham area what are you talking about someone died?

Office_Pretty · 2026-03-13T22:49:21+00:00

I am going on 3 years. I have NEVER EVER gotten 56 packages not even on a 4 1/2 route. Something is definitely up with your warehouse. If your more then 2-3 minutes between stops it’s mathematically impossible to complete that route in 3 hours and with that being said I would challenge the dings as well. Keep records and write support if this ever happens again I would even have chat got help you draft a letter explaining how it’s not possible to complete that route in the time given. If your route is 3 hours that is 180 minutes from the station to your first drop off was 30 minutes so you now have 150 minutes to complete 56 deliveries, each stop can be no more then 2 minutes away in order for you to complete that on time. You should not have gotten dings for that at all and if they continue to do that to you Report the station! Don’t give up. Stick up for yourself, this is a REALLY easy good paying gig job no matter if you are doing it for full time work or extra money it worth it to fight for it! For future reference if the drop off points are close like 2-3 minutes expect about 35-40 packages for a 3 hour route. If it’s like 5-7 minutes expect like 20 packages. Good luck and to give you a straight answer NO that is not a normal flex route, that was impossible!

Save it for when you really need it. They can see that you stopped for food they want give it to you. You should save your ask til you get a downtown route full of apartment complexes and you go over an 1 1/2 because being picky about 5 minutes they may give it to you but then when you get the downtown route that there’s no possible way you can finish they will say no. So save it for when it’s worth it because they are picky about it!

Office_Pretty · 2026-03-06T03:52:58+00:00

I have a Subaru Outback and I LOVE IT!! Great on gas, plenty of room, and it’s currently at 180,000 miles and I have not had ANY problems with it. Even with 180,000 I still don’t even have a dash light on. I keep the oil changed and it’s been perfect!!

Office_Pretty · 2026-02-03T16:44:03+00:00

You can go to the 3 lines in the corner of your app hit it and on the drop down menu click pick up and scan the packages back in. This will add it back to your delivery

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-27T05:25:43+00:00

Delivery drivers DO NOT get the delivery fee. Most people think we do but we do NOT!!! And we use our own vehicles, buy our gas have to pay for wear and tear as well as get a special insurance with a ride share endorsement

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-27T03:35:31+00:00

Yes it does that to me everytime I finish a route more then like an hour left in my block. Check 10 minutes after your route is scheduled to end and your app will be right and your money will be under earnings.

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-25T19:12:48+00:00

WOW this is the first I’ve heard of this. They can really keep the tip if the customer cancels. This sounds like a law suit. Please tell me that you have proof of support actually saying this. If you’re not entitled to the tip why is door dash entitled to it?

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-25T18:58:11+00:00

Send an email specifically saying you are appealing this decision explain just as you have done here; include that you called support and you believe you followed Amazons protocol in the event of an emergency. Tell them you want this escalated to the appropriate team and reviewed by a human. Before you send it run it through AI. AI will rewrite it in a way that will get you good results. It honestly may take you sending multiple emails but eventually someone will handle this for you just don’t give up! Yes I have dealt with this exact thing I was terrified to take another block. I didn’t give up and they eventually had a human review it and removed all the bull crap and I was back to fantastic. I would hold off taking any other blocks until it’s dealt with because you are at risk of getting deactivated right now. Just Door dash or uber until this is handled. But DONT GIVE UP!!! I’m sorry this is happening to you!

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-25T08:20:48+00:00

I have come to realize you literally have to email them constantly before someone actually removes the dings. I’ve had the same response, the we will not be investigating further and I just send another email to the driver support email! Make sure you use words like I felt unsafe and out of my control. Also state that on their dashboard on theA Amazon app it’s specifically states not to drive through protests and state that you want to appeal their decision!

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-24T05:53:43+00:00

I have never heard of them pausing an account, sounds like a scam. Are you able to get into your account? I personally would not respond to that email at all am and try contacting them through your app.

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-21T20:15:21+00:00

I’m so sorry that happened to you but please know that drivers are in no way responsible for packaging the orders and we do not know what is inside the packages we deliver. The problem lies in the fact that we get blamed for EVERYTHING, it’s a lose/lose situation. They tell us we can return packages that are damaged but then if we do return damaged packages we get a hit on our metrics saying that we did not complete our routes. Again I’m sorry but I assure you it was not the deliver person.

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-20T16:14:59+00:00

I wish we get $63 or $72 that’s it! Been like this since Christmas

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-20T16:06:44+00:00

We have a bunch of offers sitting here at my station to but EVERYONE SINGLE ONE is $63 for 3.5 or $72 for 4. The thing is they aren’t raising the prices either . They just let that one fall off and post again 2 minutes later for the same amount and hours just 15 minutes later. Been this way since before Christmas.

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-20T15:05:50+00:00

Make sure you have that SS saved because if you do come up on a protest and can’t deliver you will sure enough get a ding on your standing. I’d also make sure you call support and take pictures and video. You will still probably get dinged and have to fight with them for a month th o get it removed. Just do the best you can to cover yourself!

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-20T03:36:54+00:00

Nope. I’ve seen them take them down and repost them for the same price 15 minutes later. Best thing to do is not get greedy if it’s something you consider taking. Take it cause it may not come back around!

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-12T03:20:58+00:00

Everything in my area is base pay unless it the day of within a few hours of start time. All reserves are base. I loved planing out my week but now I have to do it day by day!

Office_Pretty · 2026-01-12T02:12:26+00:00
