How can I join this?

 

Just Google Amazon Flex. Pick Minneapolis and follow the steps. I was impressed how quick everything took when I signed up. There is some tutorial videos to watch but u can just skim through all of them. Any idiot can figure out how to work and app. Background check took about 3 days. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to me.

 

I do it - very rarely though - being scheduled doesn't usually work out- but I did a 2 hour shift on Sat in the snow- more than doubled my hourly rate with tips! Tips are really good (maybe especially when weather is foul? Not sure, maybe..

 

You can get tips!!?? How many people actually tip do you think? I was thinking of buying a hail damaged car with a salvage title to just use for Amazon,postmates, and door dash. I'm getting sick of Uber's bull$hit.

 

If you do an evening or early a.m. shift - get a bright flashlight - it REALLY helps find your packages, and helps to scan them in the dark...

 

Good to know I think I will plan on doing Amazon Flex between the hours of 9 and 1 that is when Uber is slow and no traffic on the road. I signed up for the Eagan Distribution Center as opposed to the Minneapolis choice. I figured if I picked Minneapolis I would get a bunch of Minneapolis deliveries which I do not want to do with crappy neighborhoods and tons of stop lights and stop signs. I chose Eagan because I figured I would be given a suburb where it would be quick and easy. I did Savage today and all my deliveries were super close to each other. I felt pretty good to get done with my deliveries in two-and-a-half hours being my first day but I definitely hustled out there and can read a map how long does it usually take you to finish a four-hour block?

Errr... you should visit the Flex forum here and spend some time reading. https://uberpeople.net/forums/AmazonFlex/

You don't just decide when you want to show up and work -- you're in competition with every other driver for a limited number of available blocks throughout the day; don't expect to ever get one assigned to you automatically -- if you do it's pure luck. Otherwise you're refreshing the app trying to catch an available block before someone else grabs it.

Also note tips are only available with Prime, not with Logistics (which is just box deliveries) -- there are 2 types of warehouses in each city. Pay careful attention to which type of warehouse you select when you first get accepted in the app, because you can't swap back and forth at will.

 

I found it's easier to use a clipboard, 5 pages of paper, each page for each of five locations in the car: front, back left, back right, trunk left, trunk right. Write down house numbers on each page. It's easier to find a package for a specific location in the car using the house numbers you write down, instead of searching the entire car for a package.

 

That's a bit excessive. Boxes on the cart are already grouped together in routes, just keep them together and sort by number as you load them in the car.

I singed up as well sometime ago just have been a bit nervous to try it. How does one know what type or location they signed up for. For some reason I thought there was only one location.

 

Day 2 even better they increased the pay to $88. Took me 2.5 hours. Could have got done quicker but I had like 15 businesses that were hard to locate. Only logged 29 miles from the Distribution Center to the end of my shift. That is really good profit!

 

spotless criminal record, 10 years clean driving. Amazon turned me down for flex with no reason given. Their loss I guess.

 

Jeff Bezos is allergic to cats....

 

I kept getting emails last week, they raised the rate to $120/block from $88/block.

 

I only saw $88 for the highest via email last week

 

$120 for specific time, here is one of emails I received

Increased Rate On Select Block in Eagan (DMS1)

Check the Amazon Flex app for opportunities to earn an increased rate of $120 for each delivery block [estimated to take 4 hours] you complete between 3 p.m. - 11 p.m. Sunday, December 18.

To learn how to check for available blocks, check out the FAQ in the "Help" tab of the Main Menu in the Amazon Flex app.

Thank you for delivering smiles with us!

Made a $100 today for a 4 hour block that I completed in just over 2 hours.

Awesome - when I started last spring, you could do the loops really fast - and I['d toss an Uber ride in at the end if stuck way out in the suburbs - lately, they've been FILLING UP THE LOOPS, so hard to even finish on time - but I'm sure it varies...

 

Every time I go to the Amazon Flex- get started website, it never has the TC listed on available cities. I have sporadically checked in for about a month and a half. What am I missing ? Is there a link someone can help me out with to sign up ? I submitted my info on the site, and told that if my city starts I'll be notified. I must be missing something.

 

to anyone who's worked with Flex in Minneapolis: did you guys have to do anything special in order to get a response?

I applied back in August and never heard a response (even though I entered my information for them to reach out to me if there were any openings).

Honestly forgot about it until now, figured I'd try applying again but it's the same outcome as before- not currently accepting positions for this location.

It'd be super dope to hear something back from them - I've delivered pizzas for years (w/ a clean driving record), however something about delivering packages for Amazon seems much less hectic with greater reward.

 

You state that you didn't get a response but then you say they told you they are not currently accepting positions. Sounds like a response to me.

 

Still doing flex? How's it working out? I just signed up today and waiting on the background check

It's going great! Getting 2 shifts per day lately. Been averaging about $800 to 900 per week. I do it everyday.

I just received approval.

Going to try to do the same - two shift a day. But I can't start till noon due to training for another job, so we'll see how it works out.
