Amazon Flex
How do I find and accept a delivery block in the Amazon Flex app?
Open the main screen to see a list of available blocks, which show the shift length, pay, and warehouse location. Tap a block to grab it if it fits your schedule, but be quick—high-paying blocks can disappear fast, especially during busy seasons.
Does the app have built-in navigation for deliveries?
Yes, the Amazon Flex app includes built-in navigation that tells you exactly where to go next and in what order, so you don't need to switch to a separate map app. This helps you avoid driving in circles and makes deliveries more efficient.
Why does the app sometimes lag when I try to tap a block, and how can I fix it?
The app can feel slow or unresponsive when many drivers are competing for the same block, especially around holidays. To improve your chances, make sure your internet connection is strong and close other apps running in the background to speed up performance.
What should I do if the app's scanning feature stops working?
First, clean your phone's camera lens and ensure the barcode is well-lit and not damaged. If it still won't scan, try restarting the app or your phone; you can also manually enter the package ID if the option appears.
How does Amazon Flex compare to DoorDash for delivery drivers?
Amazon Flex lets you schedule longer delivery blocks (like 3 hours) with a set pay, while DoorDash offers shorter, per-order gigs with variable tips. Flex's built-in route planning and package scanning simplify the process, but DoorDash gives you more flexibility to start and stop anytime.
