“Has anyone else had no offers on there flex this week? Like nothing at all is coming up is it just a slow week or?”

“anyone else work out of this station? I have not taken a block since Monday morning. have barely seen anything at all since then. The offers I have seen haven’t been anywhere near good enough for me to take. I did talk to support and they told me it is due to customer demand and that my account is fine. I truly feel like I got shadowbanned for a week. if this is your station too, can you let me know what your experience has been like this past week? I was taking a block almost every day for week”
“I’m a little worried. This is my first time in 5 years of doing flex that I’ve been at risk. Lately my luck with deliveries have been awful especially to apartments during the 3am blocks. I would call customers to get access to their apartment and they would just say leave them where it’s convenient…. I’ve had multiple people tell me this. When I voiced this out to support they still won’t approve my appeal and now it’s saying 4 packages are missing from my block on September 17th….. I’ve done m”
“Feast or famine for me since May. I seem to be juggling 3-4 orgs at a time or nothing for 2-3 weeks. I have 4 active now though none currently are beyond first stage. 1 says that are recommending HM but it's been a bit so who knows. I had 8 while on vacation during 4th of July week. It was chaotic and the reason I started using my calendar and a spreadsheet to manage active interview processes. But then I had a stretch from early April through mid May of nothing.”
“Not gonna lie, I see alot of negative feedback about Flex on here, and it honestly almost deterred me from doing flex. But honestly, this is the best gig app I’ve experienced, and I’ve been doing gigs for a few years now, DD, UE, Spark, Instacart, Shipt, etc. I know it may be location dependent, but this order for 3.5 hours is not uncommon. And I’m easily doing this in 2 hours or 2.5 hours. This is just to shed some good light on it the app! Honestly like I said it could be my location, I dont k”

“Hey ya’ll so I live in pg county and I lost my job so I figured I’d do flex to hold me over until I can find something new. Can anyone tell me do the warehouses in pg country typically send you into dc or Baltimore? I ask because I have anxious energy and driving in dc is a nightmare plus I’m not the best at parallel parking. The warehouse I’m specifically asking about are Upper Marlboro Largo Laurel Forestville Capitol heights Beltsville Please ya’ll anything you could tell me would be of benef”
“As of this morning the stupid ass Amazon Flex app has been giving me a whole bunch of reserved offers, only problem is there for Boise… I’m in Oregon, in the Portland region… Haven’t got a single reserved offer for my actual region in, I think, about a month…. Bizarre & stupid but nothing surprises me with this godforsaken company anymore. submitted by /u/KushBabyTV [link] [comments]”
“I ask, because I hyped myself up for prime week and I think we all know how dead it was for flex drivers during that time So id just like to know what to expect for this season, more blocks? Higher rates? Increase from 8 limit to 10 hour limit?, or do they give it all to the dsp drivers? Tell me what its like veterans submitted by /u/Sufficient_Tooth_949 [link] [comments]”

“Been Sparking for 3 years but just got accepted into Flex this week. Been watching the app to learn it past 2 days, all throughout the day. At most I've seen 2 offers each day posted, and those came out to poor hourly rate. Since I'm new, I'm not sure if this is due to an already crowded market, though Flex just got here, or if it's that new ppl don't get much and the more you Flex the more offers you see? Appreciate any insights. submitted by /u/Phogzzz22 [link]”

“I need to vent, and I want to warn anyone else trying to change their Amazon Flex region. For the last few months, I have been trying every single trick in the book to update my delivery area. I emailed standard support. I escalated it to corporate. I emailed absolutely everyone I could find. The response? A literal wall of text telling me that my only option was to: Travel back to the original state my account was created in. Work there until I hit Tier 2 status. Apply for a region change to my”

“I have been doing Fresh routes out of UOH5 warehouse consistently for the past year (Early morning routes). All of sudden, it seems the routes aren't released that often anymore and whenerver I see one, it is not for 1h30 instead of the 2h routes. Any idea what is going on? submitted by /u/Muted_Seaweed4304 [link] [comments]”
“Hello hello Reddit, 'tis been a bit and thank madness all the temp workers are gone. There's actually some routes now ~ 🥹🙏🏾 Anyway, since Flex is saying SSDs can do Instant Offers now, I've been checking the map and saw 1 or 2 new stations on the map. They're for Now orders, but one of them (ZHT3) is actually pretty close by, tho I haven't seen anything with that code yet. Then the filtered list also shows a HOU2/VHU2(ssd) / QUH1(.com) / QTX4(.com), maybe missing some. Any”

“Durham, NC - Vnc3 Usually I got dinged for a bad delivery, taking me from fantastic to great. I do this for summer money as a teacher. I havent scored a request since Saturday... i have found a few in upcoming offers. I dont know if Amazon is punishing me or if the job market is just garbage and more people are taking the offers. Plus, runs take longer than 2-3 years back. 3 years ago, I would be done and home before the route ended more often than not. Now, I am finishing 20 minutes early, and”

“I’m still fairly new to Flex and I’m trying to figure out the best strategy for getting blocks. Has anyone had better luck sitting at a distribution center (SSD or logistics station) and constantly refreshing the Offers screen, or does your location not matter for scheduled blocks? I know Instant Offers are location-based, but I’m specifically asking about the regular Offers page. Have any of you noticed: More blocks appearing when you’re physically at the station? Or do offers show up the same”
“Been out for about 2 hours on a Saturday afternoon in the Central Valley Cali heat! How is there no offers!?! 2 people recently reported me as order not delivered when I clearly delivered and took a picture incase that could be why. submitted by /u/user3728823 [link] [comments]”
“So I made a post yesterday early in the morning. Talking about how support doesn't help, and how I've been screwed over numerous times by flex. Last night I had a 2H block scheduled for 6:45PM. I arrived on time, checked in, and decided to screen record what happened to prove the app, and the system is the real issue not me. So I sat in my car waiting for my route for about 40m, typically if I wait around for 30m or more they usually end up checking me out, but yesterday was the same iss”

“After waiting almost an entire year I was finally onboarded to start delivering for Amazon and it’s honestly been extremely frustrating trying to land a block. I live at least 30 min from the closest warehouse in either direction, I have my filters set to preference the closest warehouses. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack… the blocks appear and are gone in seconds. So I’m actually curious how do y’all do it? submitted by /u/xxWanderlust [link] [comments]”
“Hello I’m new to Flex. I haven’t completed my first delivery yet. My question is are the deliveries usually in my assigned area? How far outside the area can they go? My worst nightmare is signing up for a 4 hour block and there’s 2 deliveries that are 2 hours away from each other. It’s like you have no idea what you’re getting until you get there. This is a new platform for me. All the ones I’ve done tells me where I’m going, how many miles, of course pay etc. Also does the $$ amount have any i”
“Hello Gents, I just want to say I haven’t closed a deal since it’s been over 90 degrees out. I’ve been pinged at 80% of quota for the year for 2 months. My phone calls are calling into the abyss.

“Hello. I started (trying) to Flex last month (North Jackson, OH Warehouse). Since starting, all I have ever been offered is 3rd shift hours. Will this change? Also, there was like 2 weeks with no offers at all. I am wondering if maybe I was a part of a large group they hired and maybe they over hired…? I took two 3rd shift blocks to get on the board. However, I can’t do these hours. It was difficult to arrange what I needed to make that happen and then I ended up not sleeping at all those two ti”

“This past Thursday was the last day I delivered and it pmo because there was a package I couldn’t deliver and the last thing I was tryna do was return it back to the station. (Went back tried to redeliver still unsuccessful) Returned item before 10 the following day and since that morning I haven’t seen any offers for the location. Support says it shouldn’t affect my offers/standings however, no offense do I trust them? No because I always have to call them TWICE about the same situation. The ON”
