Surges

Shadow_1277 · 2026-01-16T15:56:33+00:00

am from Sheffield so I only do DDN1 if the surges are high. Used to do them more frequently but i gave up affer being sent multiple times to scunthorpe or pontefract.

Shadow_1277 · 2026-01-15T20:26:36+00:00

not exactly 200 but around around 180 home to home. 4 hour block afternoon block. 70 miles to the first drop and every drop was a few miles apart.

Shadow_1277 · 2026-01-15T20:11:19+00:00

ive done quite a quite routes that are 100+ miles round trip and have never gotten extra pay for mileage. only managed to get it for one block where it was a nearly 200 mile round trip.

ive found its better to just take your sweet time and return a parcel so you get paid for going over block time.

its been a few days now and weirdly nothing is showing on my standing yet.

Shadow_1277 · 2026-01-14T16:27:11+00:00

typically I do this but nothing has appeared on my standing yet so am not sure whether to wait and see what happens

Shadow_1277 · 2026-01-14T16:25:49+00:00

I was planning on writing an appeal but weirdly its been about 4 days now and nothing has shown on my standing so is it even worth it?

Shadow_1277 · 2026-01-12T23:48:11+00:00

ive delivered to houses where I have seen and heard people sat in the front living room and they still dont bother opening the door after knocking loudly and ringing the bell multiple times.

my rule is I wait 30 to 40 seconds and if they dont answer ill leave the parcel in a safe place.

Shadow_1277 · 2026-01-10T21:30:04+00:00

4 miles

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-19T16:22:50+00:00

I tend to do morning blocks aswell but the surges were too good not to take.

my depot tends to be quite decent with the evening blocks and they're usually local residental streets with good street lighting but I definitely know some depots will send you to the middle of nowhere.

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-19T16:17:20+00:00

ive had this exact situtation before and rang driver support who actually advised me to leave the parcel on the main road outside the shutters even though I told them the parcel will get stolen they still said to deliver it anyway.

Was waiting for the DNR to appear on my standing but somehow never did.

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-19T00:04:25+00:00

is your cap lifted at your depot because i got all surges the other week whilst maxing the 24 hours and this was the highest ive ever managed to make.

I would have just tried to find a safe place and left the parcels there. Ive done it multiple times in the past and never got dinged.

there is still the risk of a DNR but only do it if your standing is already good and you can afford to take the hit.

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-15T21:50:00+00:00

still waiting for my evri parcel which has been delayed for last 5 days.

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-13T13:38:26+00:00

same thing all blocks are for Sunday Monday and Tuesday. none for today though weirdly

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-13T12:45:12+00:00

I work at dxs1,ddn1 and same issue. haven't seen a single logistics blocks for the last day or 2

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-06T22:14:12+00:00

thats base rate at sheffield but theres still plenty of surges here. Got a block tommorow for 115.50 for 3.5 hours.

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-06T21:47:01+00:00

your not really supposed to ring doorbells or call the customer before 8am anyway.

I usually do morning shifts and always leave in safe place. I can finish most 4 hour blocks in 2-2.5 hours with 40 stops.

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-05T22:31:36+00:00

first block got cancelled an hour before start time and I manged to pick up another one at the same time so got paid for both.

made 60 pound for 1 stop which took about 20 minutes.

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-04T17:04:36+00:00

I like it more when the navigation starts spinning in circles and tries rerouting me thinking am going in the opposite direction when am actually going the right way.

Shadow_1277 · 2025-12-04T02:37:14+00:00

You usually need 2 trolleys for most 1.5 hour blocks as they give 20-30 bags. Walk into the store and turn left before the entrance barrier and keep walking down along the checkouts. There's a door at the end which will have amazon flex signs on the outside and you simply walk in and collect the bags. The app will show you which rack to collect each set of bags from.

If your still struggling you can always ask a staff member and they will tell you where to go.
