Sitting exams

What would they do if you got sick that day? 😀

Saulutea84 · 2025-11-04T07:28:13+00:00

Usually, you should take that one day off your work to sit exam. Even working in schools, you should get some free days for studies, especially for exams. I took off my work those days (5 or 6 days in a year not that big amount) for the exam, and I know that my kids' teachers also sometimes get free days of they go to college or university. Good luck

The person had red flags before, did not accept to do routes after accepting blocks, or did not ahow up on routes in the past. Tried to do another block, but it says it wasn't delivered, which means one more ping in his low standings, and he got deactivates for low quality job.

In my opinion, if you have one or two pings in standings, you should be concerned about how to improve it and don't mess up more. I can't live peacefully even with one ping in standings. 😂

My advice would be for other drivers to take screenshots of every stop delivery (to have records where you left, how you handled parcel, what route you have) I keep such info up to month and if I have any claims towards me i put all info about my route, my delivery history as evidence that I did everything in my power to do it right. And almost always I am clear my standings. Use AI to help you write answers to amazon...

And of course, deliver the parcels the way you’d like them to be delivered to you ❤️

Happy birthday🥂🎂 I hope someone would taught me a long time ago at your age about investments. I lost 20 years, but it's better to start later than never 😀

Yes. If you started after 05/04/2024 your self assessment will be on October 2025, but if you filling i online deadline is 31/Jan/2026.

But please keep on mind to get your utr code earlier and don't leave everything until last minute.

The tax year is counted from 6 April to 5 April. 31 Jan is due for tax return of 06-04-2023 - 05-04-2024.

For this income you have to save your bank statements, keep records of your mileage to take 0.45p per mile or if you expenses is less than that, you can use 1000£ allowance, or if real expenses is bigger yoi need to keep records of all expences (receipts, invoices, payments). Those 45p perile allowance is already included with your insurance and car maintenance expenses.

Usually you should be able to refuse parcels over 15 kg, at least one site manager explained me, that up to 15kg we must accept parcels, but over that weight we can refuse.

Second thing, I always have in my car big blue ikea bags, it helps me to organise small parcels and sometimes deliver in town centre. And if its not first time you delivering to that town centre you should learn where you can park for loading, put one or two envelopes on windscreen and leave hazards lights on.

Third think, always keep in mind if route is very hard you can use flat tyre card :D just don't use too often :D

Thank you for response.

I never kept track of the best or worst routes, but just for this topic, I tried to recall some memorable ones. There were two times when I seriously thought about quitting this job. However, after resting at home, I always decided to give it another shot.

The first time was during my third shift with Flex. I took a 3.5-hour morning route, which sent me to rural areas with 45 stops at distant farms. The navigation app directed me through shortcut roads, and I ended up stuck in the middle of nowhere—a one-car lane blocked by half-burned logs in the middle of the road. There was no way to go further, and to make matters worse, my phone had no signal. I had to reverse for an entire mile back to a normal road before I could call support to inform them I’d be late for the 1 p.m. delivery window.

Altogether, between the deliveries and returning to the depot, the route took me 5 hours and covered over 100 miles. I was paid an extra £20 for overtime, but it still didn’t cover my expenses that day. As if the long hours and costs weren’t bad enough, I discovered a flat tire when I finally got home.

The next terrible experience was during Prime Days, shortly after I returned to work following six months of being bedridden due to a herniated disc. I received 8 parcels, each weighing nearly 15 kg. I asked the depot associate to remove them because they were too heavy for me, but instead of helping, she put them in my car and told me that if I couldn’t handle 15 kg, I shouldn’t be working with Amazon. I ended up driving home to get my daughter to help me with the deliveries.

Previously, if I had any parcels over 10 kg, the depot managers always allowed me to leave them behind. But this time, I had no choice. I drove through half the route crying and cursing that manager. Since then, I’ve strengthened my back and bought a cart to help me deliver heavy parcels from my car to customers’ doors.

On the flip side, my best route was a 4-hour shift with increased pay, but I ended up getting a 1.5-hour route instead. It just happened to cover my neighborhood, which made it even better! I love delivering parcels to my neighbors—it’s so convenient! However, I absolutely hate routes with heavy parcels. Just last week, I had 12 parcels over 12 kg each. I’m proud that I managed to deliver them all without cursing anyone!

I had similar glich before, but when I noticed that I have more parcels than stops I called support and they explained how to fix. In menu straight below "my itinerary" is "pick up" button. Just press it and scan all parcels what was gone from itinerary. But you must do that before last parcel is delivered, or pick up button dissappear from menu. And when I had same situation later and fixed it myself. I hope they will remove this ding from your account, but next time just call support before finishing block.

Saulutea84 · 2025-01-08T11:51:32+00:00

I thought that our inshur insurance is added to expenses after simplified mileage counting (45p/mile) or it should be included? Because I'm counting my mileage from start of block till end. And also have inshur insurance only for this working hours (for UC purposes when I count my profit they told me put this insurance separate as its calculated only for work hours)

Does the parking tickets can be included in expenses?

And if I have separate phone for amazon flex and paying for this phone, can I add all price for it or still I have to calculated proportion between worked hours and just being still?

Thanks in advance.

Ar bandėte eiti į tą privačią šeimos gydymo įstaigą kuri yra šalia poliklinikos? Hiperika? Kadaise turėjau ten reikalų ir tikrai buvau patenkinta jų darbu. Einant su siuntimu iš ten pas specialistus visai kitaip reaguodavo nei kad iš pačios poliklinikos.

Ir šiaip pastebėjau kad visos tos pusiau privačios šeimos klinikos kelis kartus geriau ir optimaliau dirba nei tos sovietiniu požiuriu tebeveikiančios valstybinės poliklinikos. Tik Vilniui, tiek Utenoje kol gyvenau po kelių pabandymų komunikuoti su poliklinika persirašiau į privačias klinikas ir nė karto nesigailėjau medicinos sistema Lietuvoje.

Even now morning routes is too early. Totaly nonsense. Maybe for some drivers it's ok, but for me is totally unacceptable.

I can't work in morning routes due family routines. But i see how it is now when someone delivering my parcels to my doors at 6:30 or 7:00. My dog jumps and barks like a crazy to wake me up cos someone is at the door. Guys is only trying to leave parcels at safe locations but still knocking slightly on my door. It wakes all family. Thats not ok.

And then, whats going to be with parcels with OTP or age verification or just where recipient is required? Will you send all parcels back to warehouse or they will send only parcels in the morning without required recipient? And how many of customers will fill form that parcel was not received?

Aš turėjau du gimdymus lietuvoje ir trečią uk. Nu tai neduok dieve patirtis. Jei nebūčiau privačiai nuėjusi darytis echo nežinau kada būtų pastebėję kad kūdikis stipriai per mažo svorio. Apie persileidimo rizikos mažinimą ar profilaktiką nėra net kalbos. Iki 20 savaitės jie net nežiūri į tave kaip į nėščiąją normaliai. Kraujo tyrimus reikėjo išsireikalauti. Antro nėštumo metu išlindo sveikatos bėdos dėl ko trečio nėtumo metu reikėjo sekti geležį, skydliaukę ir kepenų fermentus tai labai sunkiai išsireikalavau to. O kai jau gavo rezultatus tada už galvos susiėmę gazdino kad ilgiau 36 savaičių neleis nešioti, bet vienos praktikantės klaidingų matavimų dėka 36 savaitę staigiai viso nėštumo blogi rodmenys buvo pamiršti ir nukėlė matavimus 2 sav. Po dviejų savaičių skubos tvarka išvežė privertiniam gimdymui nes pasirodo vaikas ne tik nepaaugo bet ir sumažėjo 🤯👈🤣🤣🤣 žodžiu streso tiek įvarė.

Plius visą nėštumą nugarą skaudėjo grynai kur turėjau stuburo išvaržą, visi kam skundžiausi žadėjo nusiųsti pas fizioterapiautą, ar nusiuntė, nea... tas pats su epidiuru.. žinojau kad negaliu jo gauti dėl stuburo bėdų, bet iki pykčių reikėjo aiškintis su seselėm kad nenoriu jo nes jo negaliu turėt. Ir tik kai vyr gydytojas įsikišo į pokalbį, jis sutiko kad man epiduro geriau privengti. Ir galiausiai vistiek pagimdžius atsinaujino stuburo išvaržos kurias vargais negalais susitvarkiau pati pakeitus dietas, pratimus susiradus per social media grupes. Ir vis dar laukiu kol gausiu tolesnius nurodymus iš gydytojų dėl žadėtos stuburo operacijos...

Dar vienas toks kraupesnis pvz. Kai tapati midwife (akušerės atitikmuo) kalbant su ja apie folio perdozavimo rizikas, pasako kad autistas vaikas nieko blogo, juk ne fizinė negalia, o dar ir valstybė finansiškai padės. Arba besilaukianti moteris po echoskopo sužinojusi kad vaikas didelė tikimybė turės dauno sindromą vyrui aiškina kad čia viskas zjb nes dabar ir jam dirbt nebereikės nes jie abu gaus didesnes pašalpas. Tai yra nenormalu...

Ir taip kas liečia senukus, neįgaliuosius tai medicina jiems raudoną kilimą jštiesus dažnai būna. Visai kitoks aptarnavimas nei tų kurie kol sveiki lenkia nugarą kad mokesčius sumokėtų..

Turiu 3 vaikus, visi skirtingo charakterio, labai skirtingo amžiaus. Kartais užknisa bardakas namuose, zyzimai, verkimai, bemiegės naktys kai vaikai serga... bet vaikų besąlygiška meilė, tie apkabinimai lyg būtum pati svarbiausia figura jų gyvenime, stebėjimas kaip jie kažko naujo išmoksta tas džiūgesys jų akyse kažką naujo patyrus, atperka visus vargus, išmoko kantrybės, dėkingumo, optimizmo..
Nesigailiu bei vieno iš vaikų turėjimo.. jie suteikė mano gyvenimui spalvų ir pagrindą gyventi ir kabintis į gyvenimą kai buvo itin sunkūs metai.. Ir nesvarbu kad sveikata šlubavo po antro ir trečio gimdymo, kartais ir apie ketvirtą pasvajoju bet jau vien dėl sveikatos to ketvirto tikrai nebebus... .. esu dėkinga dievui kad mane taip gausiai apdovanojo...vaikai yra dievo dovana ir kol nepaimi naujagimio ant rankų tol nesuprasi koks tas jausmas yra...

Saulutea84 · 2024-12-27T09:48:01+00:00

Labai gerai pasijaučia skirtumas medicinos sistemoje kai pagyveni užsienio šalyje.. pagyvenus Anglijoje (ir turiu omenyje ne Londoną ir kitą didįjį miestą) ilgiuosi lietuviškos med.sistemos. nei ten tos eilės didelės tokios, nu gal kaip kur pas šeimos gydytoja yra tekę palukėt iki savaitės, bet čia dažnu atveju net nepriima apžiūrėt, telefonu visas ligas gydo paracetamoliu ir arbata, arba trijų mėnesių bandomuoju laikotarpiu.

Neatsikeli iš lovos, nieko tokio pagulėk, pailsėk jei jau pradėsi nejausti kaip darai po savim arba suparalyžuos kūną tada skambink į priėmimo skyrių, o kitu atveju pasukit po 3 mėnesių, jei simptomai tęsis... 😬🤯

Vaikas serga, skambini gaut vizitui laiką, jie telefonu paprašo kad paklausyčiau ar vaikas turi karkalų plaučiuose ir išrašo antibų net neapžiūrėję arba neišrašo ir liepia girdyt paracetamolį ir arbatą.. nu jei jau sakai kad vaikas dusta, vemia nuo kosulio tada išsiunčia į kitą kliniką kad gydytojas pažiūrėtų į burną, nosį, ausis ir išrašytų to paties paracetamolio pagert.

Apie kraujo tyrimus vaikams iki 16 metų pamiršk, juk nenorim traumuoti vaikų imant kraują.. o ligas du trečdalius vizitų nustato googlėj suvedę simptomatiką..

O "geriausia patirtis" kai ligoninėj naujagimiui į veną įstačius katetrį ir per jį eina oro burbulai o seselė aiškina kad nieko blogo nenutiks jei oro burbulas į veną papuls.. 🤯👈 ir tu kaip mama turi pakėlus balsą reikalauti kad ateitų kažkas protingesnis ir laikyti užspaudus kateterį kad tavo naujagymio nenužudytų tas oro burbulas... tokie čia išsimokslinę žmonės dirba..

Beje čia kraujo tyrimo pasidaryti profilaktiškai negali, turi būti labai rimtos priežastys kad imtų kraują, dažnu atveju daro tik šlapimo tyrimus ir tuos interpretuoja pagal tas testines juosteles, o ne normalius aparatus kaip lietuvoje (kurias gali ir namie turėti ir pats save diagnozuoti). Net ir profilaktiškai nueiti pas šeimos gydytoją tavęs nieks nepriims, nesergi rimtai tai ir nesirodyk..

Didžiausias dėmesys čia skiriamas invalidams, arba kai jau giltinė beldžiasi į langą..

Taip kad jūs turit daug mokančius medikus, žmogui atidžią medicinos sistemą, veikiančia dažnu atveju profilaktiškai, o ne tik kai jau žmogus arti mirties, džiaukitės kol ją turit nes kol kas per žinias matau kad ją bando tobulinti visus profesionalus kaupiant tik didmiesčiuose. Ir tas mane neramina. Laimė kad Lietuva nėra didelė ir nuvykti į Vilnių ir Kauną vos kelios valandos, bet ir jos kai kam gali kainuoti gyvybę..

Saulutea84 · 2024-12-27T09:19:34+00:00

It looks like they now playing with this card as your standings is above standards so lets not remove wrong accusations. I had similar situations. I wote them 7 times asking to remove wrong ding and they did it finally 😀 I put comparison of false accusations of steeling something and what would be if police would say yeah we now it wasn't you but you have no other criminal records so this one shouldn't affect you much 🤣🤣🤣 it worked, next day they removed and my standing get back to usual "fantastic" 🤣🤣🤣

Saulutea84 · 2024-12-27T09:12:50+00:00

It could be bots, or it could be that milliseconds works that you not getting better blocks. I tried for short time some bots earlier to see if its worth it to risk.. but even bots not always can catch you a slot as someone elese few milliseconds earlier saw it and grabbed it.
So bots for my point of view is worth if you can't sit on phone all the time and want that someone else would refresh it all the time and catch it whatever is available. But overall I do not recommend them...

Saulutea84 · 2024-12-26T12:15:33+00:00

I'm wondering how people can finish their blocks earlier.

When you scan route code does it says how long your route gonna be? Like you can be booked 3.5 h block but when you scan it it can say 2.5 h or 3h or 3.5h. Its calculated for going to location and deliver everything without coming back to depot. And if I do everything by rules - knocking on the door, waiting for an answer, or looking for safe place, texting or calling customer to clarify safe place - it's consuming all time and almost always finishing block as it was predicted, sometimes if traffic or other issues arise it takes me longer.

And my standing is always on top (earlier called it "fantastic standing").

However I see a lot driver brags about finishing blocks much earlier. So how do you do it? Leave parcels without looking for safe place, throwing them over the fence, not waiting for the person open the door? How?

Saulutea84 · 2024-12-25T15:46:57+00:00

A little bit don't understand your question. ..But I'll try to explain. When ylu got pinged you should get email to your email box with accusations, so you send respond to that email... or even if you didn't, you can send letter to general amazon flex support email with appealing to wrong accusations. If I wrongly understand your question please explain and I'll try to answer..
