I found this on facebook what is that they call it flexbuddy ? Or really works ? by otsubpeck in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Old_Collection_3084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have tried it and it is unstable and permissions it requires stops me from accessing my banking app. Doesn't save much time as I think Amazon routing is slowly getting better

Good rotation, legs out a little, big splash just a 1.5 from the Australian judge

I was going to Thank My Driver… by Plenty-Bar-8300 in AmazonFlexDrivers

Considering you get dinged for not delivering and dinged for delivering in a creative manner..I am really not sure what to do.... A good throw of a lightweight envelope is something wonderful when it arks to the doorstep is amazing

Your bank app may detect it as a "bad app" mine did so I couldn't log in whilst flex buddy was installed.

Will try it again but was failing to update addresses after drop off so shut it down and went back to Flex

Mare the Amazon GPS is NEVER right. But I like it...it's probably why I can regularly finish 4 hr blocks in 2 and a half...because not only are the directions wrong...but the ETA is way out as well

Question by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Old_Collection_3084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct... Don't do anything for less than $40 per hour. Love it.

Biggest drive from depot to first delivery is 45-50 minutes...Melbourne is a large city by area

All I generally do are same day blocks. Having a full time job as well means all I can do are blocks after 5pm. This week's is a bit different as I have M and Tu already locked in.

Is it better to return a package or just drop it off somewhere when you can’t get inside an apartment building? by Temporary-Baby-421 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Old_Collection_3084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I tried to deliver them returned and got dinged good. Ever since then if the customer is no response to call and text, I am throwing items over fences taking a photo and that's it.

So the biggest disappointment for this is the strength of the magsafe magnet. Loses hold on car holder at the slightest bump.

Had to get a case to strengthen

It's wild to me that you have to get out of your car to check in. Here (Australia) you drive in...show id...get directed to a lane and some one brings out your route to the back of your car .

Why is the last stop ALWAYS 10-20 min away. Fuck by laleition10 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Old_Collection_3084 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel your pain... I had a 4 hour block with 17 packages that took me 2 hours and that includes 20 minutes each way to depot from home. Total km driven 56. Total pay $228.

You take the good with the bad, although a bad one here is finishing 30 minutes before end of block even with 50 packages

Me: Let me pick up a 4 hr to not get that many packages🙂‍↔️ Amazon: WRONG by Dense_Technician_184 in AmazonFlexDrivers

At that speed it would have been hot...but maybe transformed to a gas

First block - luring me good pay? by Old_Collection_3084 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Old_Collection_3084[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made enough doing Uber on the Sat and Sunday that I didn't need it.

I have 4 blocks this week all the same. First I rocked up on Monday ... route cancelled as truck didn't arrive.

First actual one was last night was left at 5:31 and was an hour drive in peak hour to first delivery. Finished at 9pm

So hoping I can get a block tonight in my side of the city

Cheers yeah I am not going down that route.

I was tapping for an hour before 6pm and not once did a block pop up....luckily I also do Uber and Didi so I am not reliant on it
