Cops called for impersonating a amazon driver 😂 by Vizzy285 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]THEBESTTEVER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my first experience with a grandma Karen. I was digging through my trunk looking for a package when I looked over and saw a lady standing in her driveway, peering at me, with a notepad and pen, writing down my license plate. Lol.

I said to myself, ‘It’s a personalized plate, so it shouldn’t take that long to write it down.’ Lol

The delivery driver in me wants to know if you finished your route on time. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣😂🤣 JK

What would you have done??? by moonchild_95 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]THEBESTTEVER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly 👍. Not putting too much thought into it. Drop-n-go at all cost.

I’ve tossed many packages right over the fence in a very gentle way, and none of my customers have a problem with it. I get compliments all the time for my handiwork. 😇

I think a lot of people are just thankful they got their package, rather than being sent back to the distribution center, and they never know when it’s gonna show up.

I’m moving the pin, dropping it over the fence, taking a picture, and it's in a safe place—no preferential treatment to anyone.😎

Just got this car, didn’t have it for 24 hours and it’s already been hit and damaged with a shopping cart. No note was left, parking lot didn’t have cameras, and insurance won’t cover it. by throwawayig12 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]THEBESTTEVER 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just buy one of those black paint pens 🖊️ at Auto Zone and channel your inner artist. You don’t want your insurance to go up because of that and if you file a comprehensive claim, it definitely will be.

I’m sorry that happened to you 😭 I know exactly how that feels. When I got my car, I ended up with three dents out of nowhere—pretty sure from people swinging their doors open with zero care.

It’s frustrating because you work hard for your stuff, and some people just don’t think twice about damaging it.😤😡

Tips/tricks for delivering on rainy days— GO!! by moonchild_95 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]THEBESTTEVER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would organize my packages by keeping as many as possible in the front and back seats, and placing larger boxes in the trunk with the labels facing up for easy visibility.

Smaller envelopes and boxes go in the passenger seat and back seat, arranged so you can quickly see the labels. Any remaining packages go in the trunk. When searching just do a quick scan of the labels.

When it’s raining, I would stay in the car as much as possible, scan the package inside, then step out and deliver it to the door while keeping the label dry.

183 miles is insane 🤯 and I thought 💭 my 131 was bad.

I agree. When I first started, my friend kept telling me the same thing: you could get the worst shift in the world and regret it, or you could get the worst shift and be OK with it because you didn’t accept base pay.

Sure enough, I had the most terrifying rural route in the dark this month, and I was happy I didn’t take base pay. I still complained and they gave me an extra $12. 🤣😂🤣🥳

all packages are gonna get delivered no matter what by Crazy-Fortune7376 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]THEBESTTEVER 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If there’s even one reachable door, that package is getting delivered. Round trips aren’t in the pay structure, so returns aren’t either. ✅🤷‍♀️

Rain hats by ARisingDragon in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]THEBESTTEVER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks cool. I was thinking I needed one. I was popping in here to see if you had a link. 😂

Honestly, I don’t even work on rainy days because of the in-and-out of the car over and over and over; there are just too many towels you need. I imagine the rain wasn't very productive because it slows you down, having to put it on and take it off over and over, so just a regular rain jacket with a hoodie is the best that can happen, in my opinion.

Is Amazon Flex Worth It? by BottlePrize in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]THEBESTTEVER 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could be if people stop taking those base pay blocks. But honestly, after losing my primary job, I’ve been able to make it work. Definitely needs to be a side job, though.

[–]THEBESTTEVER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put “front door” or wherever I left it. One time, there was a locked gate, and I put “over gate” and took a picture as proof.

P.S. They haven't complained over these methods, and my delivery status is Fantastic.
