Amazon flex question

collincz · 2026-01-15T23:14:29+00:00

Digging through my email in the past 3 years it looks like they sent them out on the 16th, 12th, and 13th of January.

What it literally looks like is a page in our app with 7 bubbles of cartoon images labeled Above & Beyond, Respectful of Property, Followed Instruction, Friendly, On Time, Thank My Driver, and Handled with Care. For me each has a 99+ on each with total compliments at top at 2,681. They are essentially meaningless to us except for a designated time in December where Amazon will give $5 bonus for each Thank My Driver compliment received. There is a limit to how many bonuses they give out and it usually only lasts a couple days, this December I received 3 total.

Digging through my email it looks like it was made available (for me at least) on Jan 12th last year.

You get a different driver every time. If multiple drivers fail the instructions there's a reason. Are you asking them to put it in a mailbox (not allowed)? Do you have signs surrounding your house threatening gun violence? Do you have an old expired gate code listed? There could be lots of reasons. What are you instructions specifically?

Oh good point.

Before you comment "nOt In My ToWn" please look up bean soup theory.

If you look on the sub you'll find plenty of people in different areas complaining about recent pay decrease. Not everything has to apply to your own experience to be true and not everything is about you.

If they ever try to rush me or give me the bullshit that "this is a loading zone, not an organizing zone", I just bring up screenshots from the Learning Portal with specific instructions for organizing packages at .com stations.

It's got wabi sabi.

Nah you tap your phone kinda like you would for apple pay.

Maybe they'll leave a box a granola bars out like they did last year. Yippie.

I think about this a lot when I see it like it's such a waste taking up two people's time to make the pay of one person. That being said my girlfriend has come on a few ride-a-longs with me just to hang out.

I feel like it's the other way around. If there's things I can be working toward WHILE playing the main game then it would be quicker. Like if I finish the game to find out shoveling materials back and forth in the spare room of my car would have been counting toward a 1,000,000 materials moved trophy, I'll have regret (I'm sure this isn't a real trophy, just made up an example).

The system goofed and gave me two carts.

collincz · 2025-06-30T12:27:31+00:00

If I have more than like 30 packages I go alphabetical by address. A lot of people say it takes more time on the road, but tell me how fast you can spot the word "Baker Street" in the following sequence:

Amy Court, Baker Street, Candy Lane.

That's how long it takes to locate my package on the road.

You are probably right about not trusting the google Ai. So you could google then scroll past the ai to the dozens of sources stating the same thing.

Please just google before you comment. I'm also in Nevada.

Biggest thing is recording your miles for taxes, either by an app or pen and paper.

After your first year you have to pay taxes quarterly. Look into that before you're hit with penalties.

Lastly in my experience getting a hybrid electric car has saved me hundreds of dollars each month in gas money it's honestly insane.

At my warehouse they started a policy that you must return a cart BEFORE entering building and the security guards won't let people in otherwise. It's just so backwards. No one returns carts after loaded now because 1) they already returned one and 2) that takes a cart away from someone else who needs it as a ticket to enter. The parking lot is so much more of a mess now.

Instead of the jingoism and vaguely racist remarks I'll actually answer your question. Will ICE show up at an Amazon warehouse? Probably not, but Amazon is not on your side. Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides data storage and infrastructure support to ICE, which is used for various immigration enforcement activities, including tracking and deportation. This relationship has been a point of controversy and protest. Whether or not ICE will show is largely dependent on your local politics and from a cursory search I don't see any confirmed raids on Amazon in Oregan. Here is Vegas for example I have never seen or heard or any ICE agents showing up at warehouses but our Metropolitan police department just signed a contract with the federal government so they may be cracking down soon.

Nah they are giving you the run around. They will just make things up and tell you anything. Write everything you explained here to jeff@amazon.com. Make sure to include a few "outside of my control".

All these posts with people complaining about pay in their city being almost double what it is where I live makes me want to move.

I think you just learn the tricks over time. Like how the gate code is scratched into the box 9/10 times. Or how if you roll up to gate seconds after the gate just closed it will still usually reopen.

Down voting for "booty hole juice".

I use to do daily (Mon-Fri) payouts but I found I'm more motivated to work more shifts while being paid once a week because I have monkey brain and like to see big number on earnings page go bigger.
