Hi I think this is good as there are not many vids of Amazon Flex in Australia most are all in the US to give people an idea of what its like, great effort !
positives: 1. No people to carry or chat to! 2. Listen to your music whilst working 3. Can finish earlier than the time allocated ie 4 hr bock finish in 2 4. Vehicle is completely anonymous 5. don't need GST registration 6. Any age car or type except utes open tops NEGATIVES: 1. Given random areas so never know where you're going 2. A 4 hr shift can take longer than expected 3. Dogs 4. Risk of parking fines 5. Customers complaining never received their parcel & amazon sending you an email with no information but a veiled threat to dismiss you 6. Sometimes they give too many parcels that won't fit in the car 7. Heavy Parcels 8. Commercial address to deliver but they are closed. 9. Have to return to depot by 10am the next day for any undelivered parcels. ( more petrol and time expense) 10. No parking in certain areas 11. Multiple high-rise deliveries where there is no lift access due to security or lift not working 12. Delivering to customer's address where it is very hard to access in a vehicle ( easier for posties on bikes) 13. Getting out you vehicle repetitively 30 to 50 times (lots of wear and tear on the car as well as your self,easier in van )
@@wonderwalls3565 you can go to any Amazonflex warehouse listed in your region. Each place will have its own list of suburbs they deliver too. However you can't select the suburbs as they are given randomly
@@Somethingelse373 thanks, I was thinking to do it over the weekend but there are other options in which one can make more money with a bit of less effort, atleast in Melbourne.
@@xpandahangoverx are you in Melbourne? is yes then you can earn more per hour working in a shop or driving uber. You can also do umpiring in cricket matches, you can earn upto 170-180 in 6 hours, no driving no cost of petrol no wear and tear of your car.
I just did a 4 hour block in Brisbane for the first time. 50 drops and 55 parcels. Took 5.25 hours. Didn't get paid any extra for the overtime. Honestly its a scam and borderline fraud to call it a 4 hour block. Works out $2.52 per parcel. NEVER AGAIN!!! Nearly dumped half of it at the nearest police station, and in hindsight I should have.
That's $26 an hour. Not bad as a side gig lol. Better than an average doordash for me. I could make $30 in 2 hours some nights with doordash. At least you are guaranteed that money at the end of it and no stupid requests from the customers since it's just a parcel.
Australia post and most other parcel delivery services don’t leave stuff at the door they take it to the local post office for customers to collect unless the customers ask for it to be left in a safe place And many online shops won’t let the delivery driver leave it unless the customers are there to sign for it , it maybe a expensive item
Not true, it's called authority to leave and all couriers are allowed to unless it's signature required, then they have their own drop points like a local convenience store
Just a question, i work for a courier company and we deliver amazon parcels and all parcels from amazon are authority to leave, is that the same with working with flex? Are all parcels authority to leave
been an prime customer for a year now, as far as i can tell , they leave everything.................... my 2000$+ lens was left at the front door for half day............ so yeah.............
for the background check, which driving records did you obtain from service NSW? is it the certified $32 that can be use for legal purposes and they will send you a copy in the mail, or the $23 that you can immediately download but can't use for legal purposes, very much appreciate your help.
It’s not as hard as it looks. Especially if you are in the same territory daily, you just get 40% faster after a month. 250 drops a day is possible for a real pro.
@@shaneblackwood9052 lol 250 drops a day? thats a bit unrealistic i mean sure if the drops are within distance if theyre in a complex or in a neighbourhood where theyre close to each other. 250 is quite pushing it imo, there are other factors to consider like what time you start, what delivery runs you have, how familiar you with the areas you go to, how you load your parcels in your vehicle so you can have them organised in a way where you dont spend every min or more finding that parcel, what vehicle youre using for delivery work bcos if theres no parking around and youre in a car you cant park in loading zones or you get a ticket. For me anywhere between 50 and 60 plus most definetly.
@@shaneblackwood9052 isn't it just a flat 4 hour rate regardless of how many drops you do? If so, why would you want to do more in the same 4 hour span lol
Hey, because this makes your car into a business use vehicle, does it jack up your insurance premiums by much? Also the wear and tear on your car from the increased kms would be bad I’m sure?
@@ryanbult3707 Can you do that with Personal use car? As in you bought it for personal use and then you decide to do flex and use your personal car. Can we then claim all of the above?
@@vivekm7398 No you can only claim the % of what you use for the work. For eg if you buy a car for private use and use it 50% of the time for delivery, you can only claim 50% of anything. So if ur insurance was $1400 in that year, you can only claim $700.
@@vivekm7398 I bought a second car and claim 100% of it back (cheap $2.5k and cheap on petrol) just kept rego and insurance as private but, they dont have to know how i use it lol only care what the tax man thinks.
$68 an hr ? how come there are so many conflicting hrly wages with amazon flex so many video on them saying its in the 30's was that shift on a weekend ?
It depends on how quick you finish a run. I picked up a 4hr block the other day in Brisbane for $138, and finished in less than 2 and a half hrs. About $60 an hr
Hi, how did you do the apartment deliveries when no one answers? Where do you leave the package? I did the van delivery a while ago. They gave me 100 parcels and I was dying. At the beginning I could not put them in order and kept on finding each item by going over each item one by one over and over again.
Hi mate, How do you sort them in order does the app tell you wich parcel needs to be delivered first second and so on Or do you get to choose the order in wich you deliver the parcels
