Once activated on Flex, you find work by checking on available "blocks" that Amazon offers, which frequently change and vary on time, pay, and pickup location.
The evening shift seemed to consist partly of packages that couldn't be delivered by other drivers during the day. I was only given three orders, all of which were to customers in the Bellevue area, east of Seattle.
The app does provide a way to call the customer or Amazon support, which is helpful. If you're unable to deliver a package, you drive back to the pickup center when your shift is complete and drop it off.
My job was done after 71 minutes and 20 miles of driving, with a burger break in between - not bad for $60. Amazon asked a few survey questions at the end of the shift as a way for me to provide feedback.
I nabbed a 3-hour shift on a Saturday afternoon, set to start at a facility in North Seattle. This one was much different - not a big warehouse, but a small dedicated Amazon Flex office with a parking lot.
I felt a little nervous leaving my car running while I made a delivery - I had 41-plus packages in the back of my car that were clearly visible.
Sometimes it was tough finding a safe place to park, especially on busy streets.
"Handling more deliveries itself would give Amazon greater flexibility and control over the last mile to shoppers' doorsteps, let it save money through volume discounts, and help avoid congestion in its own warehouses by keeping merchandise in the outside sellers' own facilities," Bloomberg reported in October.
