Please check out the Official FAQs on the Amazon Flex website and subreddit rules before posting.

We also have our own FAQ that is also linked to in the sidebar ----------->

The sidebar also has a link to download the Flex app, the Flex Support contact info, the rules for this subreddit, and a warehouse list.

You may find the answer to your question there.

Many questions being asked here are repeat questions and are answered in the FAQ. Please check before making a new post.

If you need help with the Flex app, please include the app version number and whether it's Android or iOS in your post.

Also, please don't post useless threads about how hard it is to grab blocks, people using bots at your warehouse, what times the blocks get released, etc. Those posts add nothing to the discussion and will be removed.

Thanks!

There is a Discord server that was created and is maintained by the mods of /r/doordash but has been built to support any courier service.

Baltimore Is there any logic to where packages are routed from? Driving 30-60 mins to your first stop is ridiculous

5 Upvotes

I work in the Baltimore area, my preferred warehouse is VBW1 in south Baltimore <5 miles from home, but I occasionally accept routes from VMD1 (Elkridge), DMD6 (Hanover), and sometimes DLD1 (Glen Burnie)

Yesterday I picked up a 3-hour route from VBW1 and my first stop was 36 miles away in Upper Marlboro, MD. This is not the first time I've been sent well into PG county, and only once was I graciously given an extra $5 for an excessively long route. I contacted support immediately after this route and said the route was excessively long and requesting additional payment, and was declined. My total mileage home/warehouse/route/home was over 100 miles.

There's DMD9 that's <6 miles away from that first stop, why in the hell wouldn't the route originate from DMD9?

A couple of months ago I picked up a route from VMD1 that started me out west of Frederick, MD which is about 55 miles away. There's a goddamn Flex warehouse DBA7 in Williamsport, MD which is within 25 miles of all the stops on the route. I actually abandoned that route at the warehouse and took the hit, my car had been acting up and no way was I going to risk getting stranded that far from home.

How does this happen? You'd think packages would be routed to the nearest flex warehouse, wouldn't you? There's no reason for a driver in this region to drive more than 20 minutes from the warehouse to their first stop.

If you go out of order on the route

So, I need to go to bed so I’ve been watching my package delivery and when she first left the station it said she was 3 stops away. It now has been saying this for the last 30 minutes or so. I don’t care, I was just wondering if this is how it appears to the customer if the driver goes out of order in their route. I often times create my own route and was curious how it looks to the customer. She’s next to a bunch of apartments so I can understand she’d want to knock them out while there’s still daylight

Hey guys I need some help and advice
I received this email about a recent block I had. I spoke with support on that day regarding the block I accepted and got paid for. I arrived at the station and checked in like usual and was numbering my packages inside. it was raining and while I was numbering, it started thundering and lightning. Due to the lightning, they close the station down in told us that we were unable to take any carts out outside of the building and to contact support, which I did And they told me that They see that the station was closed and I would still be paid for that route. I also attached A photo of a close station doors from my route on Saturday 7/18/ 2026 . I just got this response today

Do you guys think the 3 hour routes for 60 are worth it?, even if i you can finish them in 2 hours tops?

Between 9 am and 12 pm these are the only routes available. Would you guys take them if thats all there was in your markets?


r/AmazonFlexDrivers 6h ago

Why does amazon keep fucking with us even when we do everything right lol. Why do i get punished for returning packages to the warehouse (not that often), due to things outside our control (no access, customer wont answer, and floods in SA tx), should i be worried about returning packages until i get deactivated?

Banned From Flex Thanks to Support

I had a route 2 weeks ago. It was a 2 hour route out of VNC3 in Durham, NC. 21 stops in Greensboro, NC. If you don’t now the area, it was 1 hour and 4 minutes to my first stop. Something CLEARLY was messed up because that’s not a damn 2 hour route… I messaged support and asked about it and eventually she said there must be an error and to click end block and return my packages. I even screenshotted the chat as proof just in case.. Fast forward, this past weekend I get deactivated for it. Tried to appeal multiple times even with the proof and they just told me to fuck off basically. 5 years doing flex and 20,000 packages delivered and I get banned from the app over an error in the route and a moronic driver support agent that clearly didn’t report the issue which got me banned. Sickkkk.

Make sure you guys always have a backup plan. Amazon is a bunch of morons and does not give 2 shits about you. Anyways, have a good day everyone.

Grocery block

1 Upvotes

I was picking up packages on my block when I saw another flex driver taking a cart. So im packing up my car and I hear a noise from the car next to me. I didnt think anything of it, but then I heard the noise 2 more times. So he looks at his 1 phone as he is putting bags in his car. If you already have a block, how are you receiving more offers at the same time??

I got to pet them too!

I also got a lot of love from a black lab puppy named Jenga. He went between my legs several times, but I couldn't get a pic of him.

After I got home and my dog sniffed my shoe, Sam looked at me like I betrayed him.

Question Amazon Lockers at Apartments

2 Upvotes

Is there a way to deliver to these, where the Amazon locker is the equivalent of the Luxor lockers? I've tried codes provided, the help screen, calling support, etc, but I'm never able to deliver to it without a QR code (which isn't ever provided).

To be clear, these aren't the lockers publicly available in 7-11 or other places, they're the dedicated resident lockers.

Appreciate any help, thanks!

San Antonio Amazon flex check in issues

2 Upvotes

So I had a route today from 3:30am-7:00am and I arrived at the warehouse 15 mins early to check in, when I was taking my picture to check in it kept denying my picture and then popped up a page saying that I needed to see an associate to verify manually but then when I do so the associates say they don’t do that. I called support and explained the situation and they told me they were documenting it and that I should be receiving an email sometime today to explain it what happened. Will I still be getting paid for the route? Or what should I do in this case?
