Amazon Flex

Amazon Flex allows you to use your own vehicle to deliver packages for Amazon. You reserve 'blocks' of time (usually 2-4 hours), pick up packages from a delivery station, and deliver them to customers. It pays significantly higher than most food delivery apps.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it pay?

Amazon states that most drivers earn between $18 and $25 per hour. Since you are paid per block (e.g., $72 for a 4-hour block), you get the full amount even if you finish early.

2. What kind of vehicle do I need?

You generally need a mid-sized sedan or larger (4-door vehicle). Two-door cars and open-bed trucks are not allowed for safety coverage reasons.

3. How do I get blocks?

You use the Amazon Flex app to find available 'offers'. Blocks are competitive and can disappear quickly, so you need to check the app frequently.

4. When do I get paid?

Amazon Flex pays twice a week (usually Tuesdays and Fridays) via direct deposit to your bank account.

5. Who pays for gas?

You do. As an independent contractor, you are responsible for gas, insurance, and vehicle maintenance.
