- 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!

Incredibly helpful/quality video. As a newer driver, thanks for this!
Wow amazing video! I worked at Amazon flex with my husband with 8 months pregnant and then with a newborn (of course with hubbies help) so anyone can do this! Great money!😍
Thank you so much!! I loved how flexible this position is, definitely a great way to make extra cash! You are INCREDIBLE for doing it while pregnant & with a newborn - superwoman! ❤😊
Was very interesting to watch how your first day went! I’m jealous of those tips! 😍💰 This was a fun colab! We’ll definitely do more in the near future!
Thank you for helping me out my first day! I would have been a MESS without your assistance! Looking forward to more collabs 🙏
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 subscribed...now I know some of the things to expect. Good luck with your channel. 💛
This was pretty interesting. Nice that you get to move around & are not just driving! I truly would not mind doing this!!
You are so inspiring! I love watching your videos because you tell so much info and you are very beautiful!
Don't forget to subscribe to @Mikhaxl and check out the video over on his channel! - th-cam.com/video/1ndG8rG0Np4/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching guys, would love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments down below!! 😊
Can you please do a historic home tour.
@@jragon9215 That sounds like a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion. We have a cool, Victorian home here in Portland called "Pittock Mansion" - could be super cool to do a tour there!
@@irinadeee it says that it’s haunted, have you ever been in a real haunted home? Do you have to disclose that to a potential buyer if there’s a history of ghostly events or occupancies as a realtor?
Thanks for filming this! I've been considering Flex but am comparing it to some of the other delivery apps in my area. Looks pretty physical....
Warehouse deliveries weren't my favorite, but the Prime deliveries (groceries) were pretty easy!
Very fun ride along and video. I heard Pearl and knew right away you were in Portland :) I used to live there.
Thanks for sharing your experience. You did so well.
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 ❣️
@Karla Thomas how is it going?
What zipcode u use
How is it so far? Any updates?
Had it for a year but now maybe I'll try it lol
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.
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.
@@irinadeee true
Warehouse around me is 10 miles north(25 minute drive)
That's not really the bad part though. The bad part is that from that Warehouse it might take me even further north or further south of my house. In other words, that Warehouse is north of me in my country ty but they deliver to the county north of me and south of me
Wow did you get a screen cap for that offer? That's the highest I've heard of
@@irinadeee what are the pros & cons for Amazon Flex?
Hahaha, $96 for a 4 hour shift in the Bronx, NY if you're lucky. Flex is trash!!!
Nice content! Happy to see your channel grow :)
Thank you so much! 😊
WOWWWW your tips are insane!!
Starting Amazon Flex this week and it is giving me anxiety. I know I am going to be okay as soon as I know the basics and what to do when I start. I hate new things, but when I get used to them I usually do great. Thank you for your video.
how did it go?
@@Slynell1 Went well. I like knowing the amount I gain every time for the block instead of working until I get to the amount I need every day to be reach with food delivery. I am going to keep doing it until I can't ;)
I live in LA and I only get 3-4.5 hours a day I do not see anymore more than those hours is it different for everyone else or does it change after you complete a certain amount of deliveries ?
I love your video thx , how many offers you getting a day and they call let you work 7 days ? I’m in New Jersey is different here
in which state you in ?
Good job girl! Great video 😊
Thank you Natasha!! 😊
Thank you so much for that vid.
Love it !
Hi,,,,how many times you make scann the package? Scann in the warehouse,,,and scann again,,,,in the car,,,,and scann again for the 3rd times by the door of the costumers,,,,do you still scann in the presents of the costumers before their premises?
Great video. Inspired me.
such a great vid Irina!! you guys need to collab more 😌
Thank you so much Rikka!! ❤
Can u please make any video or can u tell how to start . I have sign jn app and select area but i am getting nothing . They are always telling we will update u when your area is available ? Please help me with this
Are you doing Amazon Fresh or Flex? Looks like food packages? The one with the boxes I know is Flex. But the one with just bags is the Fresh.
Thanks so much for this video! I'm a retired, single, female trying to survive on social security. I've been researching different part time jobs and this one checks all the boxes. Any additional information or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!!
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. There are lots of other awesome videos on TH-cam about various delivery driver platforms and how much they pay - Mikhail (my friend who I collaborated with for this video) covers a lot of those jobs over on his TH-cam channel 😊
@@irinadeee Thanks very much! I'll check out your friends channel.
Also look up mystery shopping. That's easy money also.
Does it put thw addresses in order like closest to farthest
how do you complete the training step
You go girl 👏😍
❤❤😊
Awesome ❤video sis
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.
Do they compensate for gas or how does that work!?!
Let’s go 😜🎉🥳
Based on your experience, I just signed up thank you!
Nearly $300 in one day?! Once Amazon Flex makes its way into my city I plan to hop on it too! That's some really easy money👍🏼🤑
My friend in rural Illinois is making similar money on Door Dash and it isn't even the X-Mas season.
Look at you Irina😍 👏
love youuuuuuuuuuu ❤
i signed up for amazon flex months ago and its still saying im on the waitlist
How much did your car insurance go up. You did inform your insurance company that you were using your car for profit?
Damn. I just started my first day with a courier company using my vehicle and gas. Worked about 10 hours straight no standby time, mad $189 for the day, minus $57 for fuel. Well, safe to say there won't be a second day doing this.
Do you have to show your ID every time you go to the warehouse to pick up?
Yes
You’re smile is so cute , if you ever want to get a coffee let me know ❤️ keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
🤣
@@XxJherySantos1xX aww you smile just like your mom 😙
How do u get tops do u get it in cash
get that bread! Congratz on winning the competition.
Thank you loveeeeeeeee 😊
i said we don't have the capacity :'(
@@kevinrobinson3141 😂😂
Yehhhhh.......you make big money 💰
Thanks
good video I just found your channel
Hi where did u do I meant like area since I live in nyc I am wondering will I make same or more?
Portland, Oregon!
I highly suggest doing Uber eats! I live in Portland as well! Love the edit style you do! It’s 👩🍳 💋
How much gas that you have to pay ?
Wow I need to quit my job 😩 that was a great day.😃
It would be beneficial if you shared how many miles you drove to get a net earnings.
I laughed very hard at "we don't have the capacity." ..... well played.... nice video :D
Haha, thanks Kevin! 😄
I'm working in India Amazon flex slot amount is very low according to your competition how to convert to my I'd in your city...?
I hear these days the Pearl is more like the 'hood. I can't imagine living in Pdx again, BUT, I would gravitate toward the SW, thereabouts.
Seems all very good doesn't it? Now calculate the following........ 1) How much gas did you use that one day? 2) Estimate wear and tear of vehicle such as wear on tires, mileage and oil filter change. 3) Insurance liability.
LisaB what a negative person If you get in a car accident if everyone thought like you no one would ever leave the house!!!
Starting as Flex driver in England. Do people give you tips in cash?Tipping isn't big in the UK so doubt drivers here will get any!BTW great video!
No, except for whole foods and Amazon fresh grocery deliveries
Hi, very interesting. My only thought is wear and tear on car and gas prices... What do you think?
Try to get a gas savings card.
Great video on both sides! However, yours was better haha.
Ahh, I don't know about that - but thank you, I appreciate the support!
How many miles do you think for the whole day?
Are you planning to make more Flex videos? This was interesting.
I signed up to be a amazon flex driver 3 years ago and im still on the wait list. I became a spark driver and made very little money
$295/7 hours, but how much were your expenses especially gas and total non-work wait time?
??? Do you even make 200 a day?? Who gives af
@@johnnysolano1025 real people give AF because those expenses plus taxes which she didn't pull out will bring that 295 down to less than 200 a day.it matters.location distance traveled gas burned wear on your vehicle all things that cost more money out yo pocket ahem ya daily earnings.and come April you'll be mad cuz amazon reports what u were paid and the irs wants their cut over everything
@@brianroberts6144 real people know how to make money🤷♂️ now go clock in... Let her make her money. Hater
@@johnnysolano1025 I don't clock in young buck ,I'm salaried I gets paid regardless of if I show up or not.
@@brianroberts6144 thats worse😂 they own you. Look man worry about yourself. This lady is a boss in the making. Without that salary you would just be sitting at home.
Drive safe
Is this good in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Woooow is good money 😊 congrats Beautiful 😻
How to join as amazon driver?
You are small like me carrying all those items. 😆🤭 Amazon flex is work out. 💪
My only issue is dogs, are we allowed to text customers beforehand to see if they have a dog or something ?
You can text the customer through the app. If I get there and the yard has dogs. I’ll call. No answer, that box is going back to the warehouse.
What about gas and wear and tear on your car
50 dollars in tips!? Meanwhile, if I get 10 for that same route I consider myself lucky
I love your jacket where is it from??
Thank you! Target :)
Would be nice of they took taxes out before payout. Is this possible with flex?
No it’s a subcontractor position, meaning you get a 1099 form for tax purposes, which you can obtain from the app when filing taxes. It’s seriously just as easy as filing your regular taxes.
Don’t forget to add the deductibles:
Mileage
Insurance costs
Phone bill (when calculated how much is used for work as opposed to personal)
Etc!
what about house dogs chasing you during deliveries?
And about the gas and the taxes???
It’s the costs of wear and tear on the vehicle, oil changes, tires, alignments, transmission and mileage. Gas costs, I would NEVER drive for anyone with MY personal vehicle! You lose money waste your vehicle and get a poor wage to do it when you factor in gas costs, wear and tear… company’s prey on the sigh..
Irina.... are you required to take more than one shift per day at Amazon Flex?
nope
This girl is an expert and a natural at being cute!!!!
Full time Fedex Driver of about 4 years here, just letting everyone know, Guys don't get tips...
I personally have never gotten more than free snacks...
I'm thinking she made way more posting this TH-cam video! #multiplestreams
Thanks for your video. You are a very lucky girl. I invite you to do another experience on another day that is not close to a holiday and you will see that the numbers are VERY different. Thanks again for sharing. God bless you
Is there tip baiting going on, tip baiting is when the customer tips but have 12 or 24 hours to change the tip amount or take back the whole total tip they tipped
It won’t show the earnings until all tips have been fully processed. Could take over a day to see it. Once it’s there, it’s there for good
rufus cannon triggered its over lock
I do Doordash and Amazon flex great job
whats the pros & cons to amazon flex?
Which one pays more?
@@kaymoney7759 The pay is cool but not knowing where you're going is the biggest con
@@ambitiousbeauty1013 If you strategically pick your orders based on money versus mileage you can at least do 25 and up depending on what type of orders are coming in Your market may vary I live in a metropolitan city so I have A lot of little different hubs that carry all the major fast food places Without going out of my market do I get low ball orders between between $2 $5 yes however however I also get orders $7 up 10 and up 15 and up I also get 20 and up because I am part of the catering program AKA large orders
You’re like so pretty
Take tips and care for your back pain
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.
Hello What STATE do you live In All The Best
