Amazon Flex Blocks Vanish the Moment You Accept One

“Anybody else been getting all these canceled blocks from simi valley location ? Anybody know what’s going on? submitted by /u/Time_Anywhere [link] [comments]”

“I'm having the most trouble ive ever had trying to catch blocks in my region. Lafayette la. If there are any other flexers from this area pls help me out. Its been impossible for me to ever even see them put out the blocks for each time slot. Ive only been lucky enough to catch blocks that ppl canceled or whatever. Which this has also been alot harder i rarely catch anything and I use to have blocks every single day but not anymore. I'm struggling to pay my bills and im scared! If anyone”

“Has anyone dealt with a block not being paid?? Backstory showed up to my block checked in, and got assigned a route according to the app. Walked in the warehouse looking for my route scanned packages which it said that wasn’t my route. Asked for help with different employees from the warehouse they looked throughout the different areas and they couldn’t find anything which they advised me to call and report. Followed through while being at the warehouse explained everything and they told me they”

“I've been have an issue for the last two weeks where I'm not able to schedule before 6pm, even if I try to schedule immediately as the schedule opens. It's also splitting blocks weird so you would have to schedule two dashes in the same zone on the same night just to do an entire evening shift. Like 4-6 and then 6-10 but you can't do 4-10. This all started when the rating system changed too. Support just quotes a standardized technical issue script (I'm not even convinced it&”

“I scheduled a block yesterday afternoon and when I arrived, it was 4 minutes late when I parked and I had to verify my identity, by the time I finished, the app said I missed my block. This morning, I scheduled another block, I thought I would arrived on time but there was a really long line and I parked 3 minutes late. I tried to tap "I've parked" but my app was having bad service and by the time I got on the app, it was too late. Twice I missed my block by 1 minute while I was in”

“Throughout my tenure with Flex, I have not previously observed offers consistently displayed on the offers page at all hours. This situation is likely attributable to multiple elements, such as fuel costs and block rates, but the primary contributing factor appears to be the discontinuation of 4-hour and 4.5-hour blocks. Some may think we are winning and screwing over Amazon with all the blocks expiring and not being taken but I beg to differ. IMHO this will not last much longer as Amazon is all”

“So as title says i am new to Flex, been about a month and was curious if anybody knows the answer. As per the location in the picture, i have never seen a block from the Stoney Creek Location. Does anybody has any idea why that is! submitted by /u/Novel_Throat_3949 [link] [comments]”

“A block that I had for this evening mysteriously vanished.. It was from 4pm to 7pm. How did this happened and if it was canceled then will I still get paid? submitted by /u/BiteComprehensive139 [link] [comments]”

“So I’ve just had 3 blocks cancelled! 1 got cancelled on the morning, and then a few hours later another got cancelled which was scheduled for the next day. Booked another scheduled block for the next day and then that got cancelled? Has this happened before? submitted by /u/musty981 [link] [comments]”

“I was released for all 4 of my scheduled blocks on Sunday. The warehouse was slow and I had 2 hour back to back blocks. Today I got the email about intentionally avoiding blocks. I have been on time or early and never have the nerve to refuse blocks. This morning I arrived 10 minutes early just in case and got released again. Should I be worried? submitted by /u/Jenelle116 [link] [comments]”

“I reserved a block yesterday for today at 5:30 . It said it was confirmed it was on my calendar. I woke up today to check my schedule and it’s Gone ?? submitted by /u/Low_Restaurant_7254 [link] [comments]”

“Honestly the app auto generates offers and warns you if your schedule changes (I think I cancelled well in advance on the block I just cancelled, maybe days) that you won’t be able to accept blocks. And yet, I did a long commute to a block and back where only the best of the best drivers would have finished on time and started me late). Anybody else experiencing this? I thought the rule was 45 minutes and it’s frustrating to see this warning especially when the windows are tight and there’s bare”

“I had a block scheduled for 3:45 today at VGA2. I got to the entrance of the parking lot and it was a shit show. The open spaces were all full to the point folks were creating their own spots. The lot operates in a one way fashion. The car line was barely moving and often times at a standstill. To add on those who were ahead and had no luck their first round had to try and merge with those who just arrived. There were so many people hanging around the ramp waiting that I’m assuming they overbook”

“So my SSD put out these reserved blocks 2pm-6pm 4hr pretty much all week. They were only blocks that were not marked as " low chance" I've done 3 at this time so far this week and they are all like super.easy less than 15 packages btake an hour to complete I have 2 more this week. It just seems strange. I'm not complaining at all, I'm so thankful because I haven't caught a break in a long time. Anyone else ever come across patterns or occurrences like this with reserved”

“I had 2 blocks scheduled for that day and both got cancelled. One was in the AM and the other was PM. Am I about to be kicked out of flex? submitted by /u/kuromixxtheGreat [link] [comments]”

“So im new to flex (this is like my 3rd delivery) and I picked up 2 scheduled blocks with like 30 minutes in between them both. While in the middle of completing my first scheduled block the app restarted and went to the "waiting for block" screen from my 2nd block. I still had orders on me so I called support. Support told me to just take it back to Amazon and continue my 2nd block. I get to Amazon and the guy says that its not popping up for a return and on my side the return button i”

“Delivered out of Chatsworth Ca. DAX3 for a solid 4 years but stopped a year ago after the passing of a family member. I just scheduled my first 3 blocks since then at DAX3. Anything I should know? Anything changed? submitted by /u/siraradorn87 [link] [comments]”

“the thing that keeps biting products that own their own enforcement: the appeal flow is never the bottleneck. the reason code is. the pattern, over and over - the user hits a hold and the app says "something went wrong, try again" - support can't see why, because the reason was known at failure time and then thrown away - three messages later someone finds the hold in an admin screen - it gets fixed and nobody records what the fix was, so the next one starts from zero what scritch.”

“I had about 15 took one now I haven’t gotten any. Since I started my offered have went from over 100 to now 0 submitted by /u/Mahmoud_13 [link] [comments]”

“I completed a 3.5hr block today at 4:55pm. My block was scheduled from 12:15pm to 4:45pm (I’m including this info because I’m not sure if it has to do with the issue). A few minutes later I get an app notification that I have an undelivered package to return. I completed all the stops in order, scanned every package and made sure it was marked as delivered in the app. I have also looked everywhere inside my car just in case I missed one, but no. Nothing there. I chatted with support, but I feel”

“There has been a TON of blocks available the past few days and for upcoming days. I cancelled a couple blocks for later this week yesterday evening, refreshed offers, and suddenly all offers are gone? I’ve restarted the app, logged out, deleted the app, everything. Haven’t hit max 8hrs/day or 40hrs/wk. This morning a lot of offers popped up for Friday, but that’s it. No other day will load offers. I have a hard time believing there’s actually no offers considering each day had 20+ offers and the”

“So this morning when I got up, I had a email saying my block was canceled for reasons beyond my control. I get on the app to look at my calendar, and the block was still there. I know it stays there until the block time is up. I accidently hit the forfeit button and now I worried I wont be paid. Has anyone ever done this? submitted by /u/Final_Locksmith7793 [link] [comments]”

“Anyone else in the Greater Los Angeles zone not seeing Riverside, Corona, and other IE locations not in their options for blocks? Edit: seems like the only good location that is closest/consistent blocks is VAX1 all the way in Irvine submitted by /u/HardstuckCat [link] [comments]”

“I recently got deactivated for late cancellations/missed blocks. I appealed, took full responsibility, explained the circumstances and explained exactly what I had already changed to prevent it from happening again. My normal appeal was denied. I then emailed the executive escalation address asking for another review. They responded saying they would review my eligibility again, but I just received another email saying their decision hasn’t changed and “we are closing this appeal.” If you were d”

“I just got approved a few days and I’m ready to go. Every time I click accept a block it says the block has been assigned to someone. They disappear in seconds. Is this normal? What can I do to get a block? submitted by /u/Immediate_Eagle_2867 [link] [comments]”

“Blocks are released every 15 min and you can request 5 at a time. I only got ONE block this week and I requested like a gazillion. What is happening. submitted by /u/mamabear5309 [link] [comments]”

“has anyone noticed that since the new tier system it seems like every block is taken and noting is available except things like 7-9pm or 9-11pm? In my area I have talked to so many dashers and they all say they cant schedule themselves and have to wait for DD to say its busy out there and Dash now. Im just wondering if this is DD's new way of screwing with us submitted by /u/Secludeddryad702 [link] [comments]”

“So I feel stupid. I just finished onboarding as far as I know. I keep getting texts that say to go book my first block. But there are never any blocks available. I haven't seen the first one. Am I supposed to be waiting for something else before I start getting blocks? I don't have a vest or anything like you see some people wearing. So I wondered if that had something to do with it. submitted by /u/Valuable-Swimmer4473 [link] [comments]”

“I just noticed since yesterday that if I accept just ONE block but I don’t want it and cancel it in the same minute, I’m not able to get other one for the rest of the day. Does anyone has the same issue? Now I don’t have Monday blocks submitted by /u/jokeisycafe [link] [comments]”

“I have two stations near me one is about 20 minutes away and the other is around 35 minutes away. Lately, I’ve been taking 3–3.5 hour blocks that pay around $73 on average, maybe $80ish if I’m lucky for 3.5 hrs. The problem is that I’m averaging around 130 miles driven per block, and that doesn’t even include the mileage/time getting to the station or getting back home afterward. By the time I factor in gas, wear and tear, and my time, it feels like I’m spending more just to make the money than”

“So for the reserved blocks, they are supposed to come to you based on your settings for offers right? I keep getting reserved blocks from stations that I specifically unchecked so I don't see the offers (too far away) yet like 70ish% of my reserved offers comes from one of these stations. Anything else I can do so I can limit where the reserved offer/block comes from? Level 2 btw submitted by /u/m149307 [link] [comments]”

“First week of Legit doing flex and they paused me for 7 days. Didn’t know they do that if you forfeit blocks but literally in my area you have to drive to Mass or CT to get blocks. Life pops up and obviously I can’t do the drive from Rhode Island but there’s literally no blocks in Rhode Island and if it is- it’s for chump change. submitted by /u/No-Tomato-2780 [link] [comments]”

“The station I’m at canceled my block, and I’ve been here for an hour waiting on new offers. I see people picking up orders as we speak, but no offers are coming to me. My question is, if a block is canceled, do we not receive offers until the end time for our cancelled block? submitted by /u/optimisticthinker10 [link] [comments]”

“When are blocks usually sent out? Like I see blocks for the 3:30am or 4am blocks being sent out at 1am or 2am. The afternoon ones I've been lucky grabbing them 45 minutes before they start.

“I have been able to get one or two blocks a day out of Everett since I started Flex a couple months ago. No problems at all- about a 30-40% chance to get a block I request. After returning from a two week trip, I havent been able to get a SINGLE BLOCK. Hours of refreshing every 15 mins on the dot, requesting all 5 blocks, and not getting a single one. At this point I've requested at least 100 blocks and...nothing. What's the deal? It's frustrating to actually want to work and not be”

“Out of pure curiosity, I have a question for all of the seasoned flexers out there. This morning I had a 4:00-7:30 AM block scheduled. I just checked my email and the station informed me that the block was cancelled and that I would still receive payment. I noticed that in the offers tab I am still able to schedule a bunch of other blocks that overlap my original block time. For example, there’s a 3:15-6:45 AM block available at a different station. Is this okay or will it affect my payout with”

“I just finished my block and I don’t have any additional blocks scheduled tonight. But the app is acting like I’m supposed to go back to the station and pick up another route?

“Tl:dr: app wouldn't let me check in for new block because it thinks I was still doing the previous block canceled due to weather. Paid for canceled, not for new block. On Sunday I had a 1.5hr route for 6p-730p. As I was heading to my first dropoff I got the block cancellation notice due to weather so I went straight home with the packages. I didn't go in the app and end the block because I read you should just let the block time pass. A bit later I accepted another 1.5hr block that start”
