Here are some helpful tips that will help you keep your sanity while delivering for Amazon Flex!
- The first tip will probably be the most helpful but it can also be the most challenging. Accept the fact that you will have your good days and you will also have your bad days! Believe it or not but the delivery stations are not out to make your life hell. Amazon is very customer oriented. They are trying their best to get their packages out to the paying customer. Remember that the paying customer is part of the reason you’re able to drive for Flex!
- A little bit of preparation can go a long way! When loading up the packages into your car, do your best to organize them in a way that follows your itinerary. This will reduce the amount of time you spend at each stop looking for a package and will ensure you have everything on your itinerary prior to leaving the station.
- You don’t have to follow your itinerary! Let’s face it, Amazon’s routing system has its flaws and I’m sure many of us have encountered a route that just makes no sense. You are free to select a different stop on your itinerary and personalize the order you like. This is incredibly easier to do if you followed step 2!
- Your experience will be much better if you have an up to date smartphone with a car charger. There’s nothing more frustrating than to have your phone die while you’re trying to finish a block. In addition to that, having a phone capable of quickly scanning will have you moving quicker.
- Feeling overwhelmed with the pressures of Flex? Take a break! Your mental and physical health should come before Flex! There are other ways to make money with your car! Flex will be there when you get back, just keep in mind that after a long period of inactivity your account may be deactivated.
