Күн бұрын

In today's COLLAB video with Mikhaxl, I share my very first experience driving for Amazon Flex. I'll show you exactly how the entire day went, as well as a full breakdown of my earnings! This was definitely an interesting experience, BUT, I think I'll be sticking to real estate as my day job! 😄
DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT MIKHAXL'S VIDEO: • Amazon Flex Challenge:...
Delivery platforms like Amazon Flex are great for their FLEXibility (pun very much intended). Whether you're a student just looking to make some extra cash in your free time, or someone that needs to be able to set their own schedule, these 1099 jobs can be a great option for you. If you'd like me to try out any other "side hustles," let me know in the comments down below!

Hey if you want more consistent FLEX shifts, then come to North Jackson, Ohio. There is always FLEX scheduled from either 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. OR 5:15 p.m. - 9:15 p.m. The pay for those blocks is usually $78.00

I'm so glad I came across this video!! I just signed up last week and was approved to be a Flex delivery driver, I've been so nervous I haven't done a shift yet to date. So this was helpful for me, but I realize that all P U locations will vary as will the people, neighborhoods, and others we're in contact with..... so with that said, I'm going to try to find @ least one shift so I can try it out. If it goes well, maybe I can switch between Flex and my Door Dash!! Especially with the holidays around the corner, I'm sure they'll be extremely busy! Thank you for FLEXING & SHARING ❣️

Amazon flex is really good pay. During the snow storm we had here in Washington there was a $475 order for a 5 shift. The only part that we don't consider is the time driving to the warehouse , waiting in line forever to get in and get the packages and also if you can't deliver an item you have to return it back to the warehouse.

@irinadeee 2 жыл бұрын

Wow, that's incredible pay! But yes, I agree, the amount of time/gas spent driving is definitely something to consider when deciding if Amazon Flex is right for you.

To put the questions up front: Did it seem like the deliveries were organized in a way that made sense? Was it sending you all over town in a chaotic way or did it look like some route planning had been done to make stops close together? I just found your channel. This video introduced me to this opportunity which I will probably use. I have been working with TaskRabbit which has been really great for me but this could help fill in a bit on slow days. I also worked a holiday season as a UPS delivery "helper". It was good for me to get off the computer chair, but my knees and shins took a beating from all the stairs and concrete. Taking a few hour shift at a time sounds a lot more reasonable.

I'm so happy to hear that the video was helpful! Wishing you the best of luck in finding part-time jobs, I think you will enjoy the flexibility of delivering for Amazon! The onboarding process for Amazon Flex is really quick and easy, so you should be able to breeze through it and start shifts fairly quickly.

Taxes suck. Federal Income tax + State Income tax + Self Employment tax + Social Security tax + Mandator Medical Insurance (thanks obamacare) + Medicare tax = 42% to 52% tax. So that $42/hr comes out to $21/hr and that's without operational costs taken out, Food during the day, Fuel, wear and tear on the vehicle. In my estimate the actual hourly rate is about $16/hr take home after taxes and operation costs. Hope that helps with your calculations.
