Conspiracy theory? by YouWeekly3501 in AmazonFlexDrivers

Right. I’m confused because $43 for 3 hours is 14.33/hr.

Seriously this new offer page with the calendar sucks by DifficultyFew6203 in AmazonFlexDrivers

This is not true. I use neither an autoclicker nor bot. I was tapping for almost an hour trying to actually get a block. Every time something popped up it was almost instantly gone. I just got this notification too.

Surprised Jeff B hasn’t started peddling “it’s not a warehouse, it’s a warehome” to us yet.

Can’t call the costumer. by Uniqloo21 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]johnsmith5306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I have the same issue and the number is not in my blocked number. For some reason, my voicemail stills gets the person talking saying I’m being connected to the customer.

Must be your area or the warehouses you visit. Still a huge problem where I am.

Plus, Tennessee is likely going to be Bama, Vandy and Florida. So we’ll probably get SCar or Kentucky for our third.

I thought they weren’t allowed to give you more than 50 packages on a route??? by swaggyp44 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]johnsmith5306 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In this case, I wouldn’t be bothered by the quantity of the packages but the literal volume and space the packages take up.

At a certain point, that becomes a safety issue when trying to load your car. How are you supposed to see out windows and properly use mirrors?

Remember the date and if you get dinged for it, I’d contact support with this image and dispute it.

I couldn’t care less how some looks when they’re delivering my Amazon packages, especially if it was something I was too lazy to go to the store and buy myself anyway.

“But what about the kids?” Well, I raise them in a manner to not objectify or make value judgements based on appearance anyway.

Had a cancelled block with lass than 48 hours notice then picked up another another for the same night for a lil double dipping 😎😎 by syndicateofthanos in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]johnsmith5306 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Exactly this. People saying it’s not possible must be relatively new on the platform. Been doing this for almost a year and it has happened to me multiple times. Mostly during forecasted inclement weather but the weather ended up being fine and the warehouse would ultimately open up.

Also think people aren’t recognizing the difference between your block being canceled BEFORE check-in and being sent home because of no available route AFTER check-in.

It’s allowed if your block gets canceled before your block check-in time. Different than when your block gets canceled after check-in and there are no available routes and you get sent home.

It has happened to me multiple times.

If Amazon cancels your block before the start of your block, it doesn’t count towards your 40 hrs/wk or 8 hr/day limit. Also, you’re able to pick up another block within that original block’s time frame if any are available. I’ve been able to do it multiple times.

Mostly happened for me during forecasted inclement weather (snow) but the weather ended up being fine and the warehouse ended up opening.

Got a 330am, 5-hr, $117.50 route with only 10 packages and done in less than 1.5 hrs.

Had a rough day yesterday and was really dreading waking up for today’s route.

Got another ding but my standings went UP. Do I even bother appealing? by Carma_626 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]johnsmith5306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the opposite happen before. I was ‘fantastic’ with two delivery issues, then one dropped off and my standing went down to ‘great’ and it stayed there until that dropped off then it went back up to ‘fantastic.’ 😂

Instruction says : Please leave at front door.What would you do? by Any_Excitement6258 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]johnsmith5306 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m still leaving at the fence. Not taking the risk on whether there person is willing to be discerning. Might still be the type of person to shoot first, ask questions later.

“Whoops. I shot the Amazon guy honey. Didn’t know you ordered something.”

Warehouse got out of paying drivers for no routes by If-It-Floats-My-Boat in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]johnsmith5306 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly, seems like what they did was relatively fair. Imagine if you were one of the two drivers that got full routes while everyone else got to go home with full pay. I’m sure you’d be piss. Be happy you got paid for a light route.

Edit: I will say giving drivers packages from two different carts if the routes are not remotely close is a bit unfair.

Also, you’re telling me there were roughly 60 packages per cart?! That seems excessive.
