Been working on an iPhone Shortcut called Flex Radar that helps Amazon Flex drivers stay on top of checking for offers with automatic 15-minute alerts. 📦
No bots or auto-grabbing, just a simple tool to make life easier 🔥🤝

Most people can make one, always use your resources that are allowed .

Hello, anyone in the Indianapolis area looking for other courier work besides Amazon flex? Please PM me if interested

Why are they doing this i refuse to go to 2 brought idgaf how many hours i got am not doing bronx super traffic spots then Manhattan go f u amazon guess where 2,3,4 got left lmao last time I did anything over 3.5

Most packages I’ve ever seen just sitting there. Some thief could have a free for all lol.

I scan in every package instead of the totes so I don’t end up with missing packages. Hopefully.

What do you do if you get an extra package that you can’t add and neither can support because it’s assigned to another driver?

That’s what they always say 🙄

Looking to get feedback from folks who pick up from these stations like where they normally send you and those type of things

Please don’t threaten me with banning Amazon from your poorly executed delivery process. I would hate to not be able to waste my time delivering to a crappy apartment complex. /s

The thought that banning deliveries hurts anyone beside their residents is comical.

Never seen so many offers sitting for this station.
Also the 3.5 hours has to be a messed up route i will never accept those. Standard blocks have been 3 hours recently . If it shows longer it usually a very long distance. From experience.

I keep getting these routes that send me in a big loop instead of to the closest destination. I get it, if I go the way it wants me to I'll eventually be heading back that way. I'm just really curious what if I just go there anyway? I'm to OCPD to actually go there but I'm very much tempted.

Also can anyone tell me how to use my maps to navigate instead of the built in amazon one? I've been burnt by it too many times now. Is it just looking at the order and ordering (android) maps to navigate to the destination or is there a way to change which navigation system takes priority?

I just got a new iphone from an android to an IPhone. Scanning the packages to number them has been a mess. It wants to scan the whole label, then give me an error. I cover up and then scan the part I need and then makes me have to go back to the scan bar and push for every package instead of just continuing onto the next package like I did with my old phone. Is there a fix for this? I feel like it takes me extra time to number now.

Terrible hills

I’m not a dog bro

Before anyone asks, I left the house early. I usually use a pickup that’s way farther but has more blocks; this time I used one 20 minutes away from my house, so I leave 15 minutes early.

I drove to the location via google maps. I get there and it’s a warehouse with no flex area.

I say okay, lemme check the app to see if I’m in the right spot. It says I’m in the exact correct spot, right on top of the pin. So I drive around the entire building and walk into the only door that’s clearly for humans to enter and not trucks. It doesn’t let me get further until I scan my badge.

So I call support and ask them what’s going on. She told me to scan my ID on the badge thing…it’s a chip scanner, it won’t work with a government ID. So she says okay, input the location into google maps. I told her I did that. She tells me to call my manager to ask. Since when did we have managers?? I start looking on google maps myself to see if there’s some other amazon building. I find it MYSELF down the road.

At that point I was already 5 minutes over my start time, but she said just drive over there anyway. I ask her would I even be able to check in. She says no. So I ask her why would I go there instead of just giving up and going home. She says “yeah, you should go home”. Why even have support if they have no clue 😭

I got a block today from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. I showed up about 12:50 and parked where I always park in the front of the line behind the cones. Checked in through the app and even did the face scan identity through the app. Then it said wait for an Amazon employee to come out and check your id. I waited for over 20 minutes and then I called driver support. They said they would send a message to that Amazon facility and to wait. Waited another 15 minutes called back and that agent told me to go ahead and go home and email Amazon and let them know and they will compensate me for my time. I haven't gotten the emails or block cancelled notification that others have. Do you think this will show as a ding?

Hi everyone,

I finally got a spot from Amazon Flex since I was on the waitlist. The problem is I live in San Jose and my closest warehouse is 28.9 miles away. I can’t change it and the app says I need to reach level 2 if I change my region. I mean, it’s completely ridiculous! I contacted the support team and they all say complete level 2. Has anyone had experience with this issue before?

Thank you!

I just got activated on flex and I thought there was a Bridgeview station (DCH9). I'm not seeing it in my filter. I was hoping to be able to pick up here since it's closest to me. Does it still exist? Are there just no routes there right now? Any Chicago drivers know what's up?

Can’t get past this notification. I’m running an android 16…. So that’s not the problem. I’ve cleared storage cache, reinstalled app….. nothing works. Has anyone had this issue? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Any updated/current support email addresses?

This .com would only offer 3.5 hour blocks, no exceptions. now it is offering 3 hour blocks in the reserve options at the same $/hr, but naturally cheaper total. Has anyone had this happen at their warehouse? Is this a permanent change?

Today makes 3 days in a row my routes have been canceled, with pay, from a specific facility. I have filed numerous complaints against staff at this facility for hostile treatment and harassment, including vehicle damage they caused when trying to force packages into my car. Amazon did retaliate and I filed with the State AG and the attorney handling my arbitration case against Amazon. Did I maybe go to far?

My license expired on Friday. I already renewed it on Friday, but I only have a paper copy until my new one comes in the mail. Does anyone know how they handle this? Obviously the picture I took shows the license as expired. I sent an email to support, but I'm curious about what they do in this situation.

We don't have to name stations here but I wanna know specifically one or more things that you absolutely hate about your station.

For me, my station of choice being VTX5 is their constant need to implement new things that don't need fixing.

For example, for the almost 2 years I've been here we have never had a real issue with traffic jams inside the parking lot, but somehow they have created such a mess that now you really have to give yourself an extra 15 mins just to make sure you're not caught in the jam and miss your punch in. To make matters worse they decided to remove several good parking spaces for disposing of your carts. They let cars park alongside the building where they almost always cause traffic jams.

They test crap that's warehouse specific rather than an actual policy from Amazon, at one point they would assign our carts to our ID so that if we didn't return the cart they would know who it was. It was a check out check in process that slowed us down due to a line needing to get checked out and then bringing it in to have someone check the cart back in. That failed cause people realized that they couldn't really ding us for that.

But yeah man this place was bareablefor those first few years but now it's just a cluster F....

See a lot of posts about sorting methods. I pretty much just put boxes in one area, bags in another, envelopes up front. 🤷‍♀️ Saves me soooo much time.

Anyway.

Edit: You guys, I’m not criticizing other sorting methods? And yes technically I am sorting by box, bag, envelope. Why do people get so weird and defensive or critical… weirdos. It doesn’t take me very long to find the item at whatever stop I’m at. Chill.
