Amazon Delivery Station - Stow pt. 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- When push comes to shove, I speed u[ and scan the buffer for A-C pkgs, and bang out A-B jiffy. Those are within arms reach, and the rest of the pkgs (D-G + OV's) are placed on the stow cart for me to work my way down.
- For any jiffy tote, I think it is best to grab multiple jiffies to scan and stow them quickly, especially when you get multiple ones in the same bag (e.g., D.03 + D.03 + D.02 pkgs will be stowed with minimal steps.
** Organize bags as I go, and rearrange pkgs to fill in the space, jiffies to the side and on top of pkgs to utilize all space (at my warehouse, we fill each bag to the brim usually).
** I like to use 2 empty jiffy totes on each aisle. One will be under my stow cart, and the second will be on the top tier row A. Utilizing 2 totes enables me to swap out full jiffy on C-D & E-G, slide them down, working on A-B first.

Worst job ever my 4 th day judt hanging in there
It's my 4th day now and I agree, it's terrible (stowing) idk why, it's easy but damn does it get achy and repetitive, you still working there?
@@theuniverseguy8398 I tend to try to stick to only working the picking stage. Luckily I don’t really need much money. Lol
@@edwardpickles8583 I feel you, picking stage is a lot easier than stowing. Still going strong though, it gets easier on your feet as time goes on.
I agree, it's achy and repetitive, When I started to rotate from stow to Induct Unload, boy was my lower back in a world of hurt.
It took 4 months to finally correct my biomechanics on how I go about work.
The achiness went away like magic. Poof. Gone.
Having correct form is undermined and not emphasized during training. There needs to be shadowing and hands on training, not Knet alone.
I wish you the best and hope you'll enjoy working pain free soon my brotha @@theuniverseguy8398
Slave labor 😢
I just got through my 1st 4 days and it's hard work due to the heavy packages, but the actual task of doing the job is easy. You have to move fast and if your body isn't used to physical labor, it's going to wipe you out in the 1st week. Hange in there because it'll get better when your body gets used to it all. GREAT JOB MIKE!
Man you’re the first person I seen talk extremely positive about the job, I’m starting the delivery station 4 day 10 hour shift on the 20th and I already deal with chronic back pain sometimes from doing absolutely nothing, I hope I can make it through the first 4 days, definitely just temporary work while I look for something Better
I wouldn’t be so positive if it was 10 hr shifts…that’s rough. I deal with backache, and believe it or not mostly foot ache (ball of foot is in pain, steel toe boots walking on concrete for 28k steps sucks)
I got chronic back pain from only 2 weeks stowing at amazon. I went out on workers comp and never went back. I got a 6 figure workers comp settlement after being out for almost 2 years on top of being paid weekly the entire time i was out😊
@@shantelb6188And you had only been working at Amazon for two weeks? You came UP honey!👏Were you hired on as seasonal or permanent?
If it weren’t for people like you there’d be no favor in the world. Thankyou
A beautiful exercise that gets you paid
Absolutely, I can’t stress that enough.
That is the reason why so many associates have lost so much weight, and look totally different from their original badge photo.
Beautiful aerobic glycolysis all across the board.
Not so much anaerobic glycolysis, you rarely feel a lactic acid burn.
If anyone is wondering why your package arrived damaged, here's the video.
Not true! Stop trying to be a TH-cam cop and go find something better to do with your time!
@Boostavo kurtis does have a point. Some of them packages he throwing them real hard. I’m a driver for Amazon and I don’t even treat packages like that
I don’t throw boxes anymore and I slide boxes that can handle it, they’re insulated and you think cottonelle towels weighs like a brick to be damaged?
As far as Mr DSP driver, how many times you grab your route cart from staging and see heavy OV’s stacked on smaller boxes, crushing the corners because the associate didn’t Tetris them right?
You don’t have a clue how stow thousands of packages and understand the quality needed to arrive to the customer. My nephew gets toys from Amazon, so when I see toys it reminds me that I’m responsible to stow it correctly.
People get better everyday so quit hating
Hey, he's actually pretty gentle with those tosses. The pickin stage is where the fun of box dents and cave ins happens, and don't worry about any damage. amazon has great packaging and an easy return system.
You're right - I have seen new hires that crush boxes during P&S. If you check out my recent upload, I stopped sliding boxes down, check it out if you have a chance!
Proficiency in Standardized Operations Procedure (Smart Stow) comes with hours put in for sure.@@SaffronSquid
In this position, you need to scan 215 boxes/jiffies per hour. If you hear the "lee loo lee loo" it's a miss scan and you need to not do that too often because they can dock you for it.
The thing I don't agree with is his dropping the overhead boxes on the ground. He should do the overhead boxes first, second the jiffies, 3 ird the boxes in the middle rack and last the top shelf boxes.
Bro you should try leaving your scanner in the B or C bags. I used to have the wrist band setup like you but it kept slowing me down/ tiring my arms.
I Started doing it after 2-3 months and it probably increased my scan rate by 30%. Just MAX out the volume and hear for the Confirmation/ Error Beeps
The wrist strap keeps sliding down after even after I cinch it down tightly. I’ll try that, thanks
Thanks for the tip, it worked out well today, 10/10 will never use the wristband 🙏
@@mikeeonfiya Glad it helped :) It was a game changer for me when I saw other people do it.
Or you could use the wristband on your leg instead, just loop it correctly and make it lose to make it comfortable, it's much more efficient as well as you won't have to be worried about forgetting your scanner since it's already on you ( especially when a bag is full or you have to scan a bin ). I've been doing this for weeks now, and I have to say that it's much better than both of those methods, but that is just a preference
@@Opiumhandle I tried the leg method several times. I have skinny legs so it would always fall off. Plus I was always running around between different zones, so it didn’t work out for me :( Once I built the muscle memory, it was hard to lose the scanner or my Bluetooth speaker lol 😂
I see also that the mindfulness of bending knees and hips rather than all of the bending at the lower back is crucial in a position such as this. I just feel like this is where I will be put, and I really want to excel.
Don’t hunch over and round the back, do a lunge, golfers pick up, or deadlift.
These neutral spine movements will spare the lower back - where pain is common.
And try keeping this pace covering 3 or 4 aisles when they are rammed full!
For boxes, I think they should face the SAL labels toward the isles. Makes it much easier to stack on the stow cart.
Your new video has comments disabled btw. Awesome to see you improve so much. ❤
Thanks for the support man, you've been showing mad love since my first video. I switched the comments on...it was set on on kids' audience by default.
Hope you are feelin' the music, I will update the description with the songs in a bit (along with chapters, to show A-B, C-D, E-G sequences, boxes to jiffys.
I wrap the zebra wrist holder onto my stow cart, it is not ideal to wear it, the sweat makes it slide down,
So thank you for the critique & tips
@@mikeeonfiya No problem bro. Thanks for making these videos. Its been 3yrs since I quit 😂 Your videos make me want to apply again. Nowadays I deliver for amazon flex. Wrapping the scanner around the cart is smart af! I wish we had those carts back in the day. Carrying too many heavy Oversize boxes fucked up my back 😞
No BS I loved stowing
@@evan2623 Fr during my 8 months there - I always stowed, I picked only 4 times (unless there was VTO pre sort).
Towards the end of my Amazon journey they had my rotate on the dock, and I equally loved Unloading just as much as Stow.
I didn’t like water spider/Non-cons as I did with Picking.
Those positions were like a game, when you start flowing it’s fun.
I miss the DS stow, way better than stowing for a FC
Why’d you go to FC? Come back to DS 👌
@@mikeeonfiya the hours killed me tbh, I never got used to that shift so I was running out of upt and I had no choice but to transfer out to a fc
To anyone looking to work for amazon or works at amazon you will get injured just a matter of time doing the same repetitive movements over and over they don't care about you that job will work you till you are worthless then toss you out managers have easy jobs and supervisors you just have to be hartless and treat other work colleagues below you like cattle I was there 2 years and it's a meat grinder people that get fired after a few months are the smart one's if you need cash apply for amazon and do the bare minimum amount of work get whatever cash you can then dip that's my best advice 👍
Whats the purpose of the Girl in the back putting the boxes always from top to the middle ?
I feel like youre working way too hard. Im a stower myself, and i go at pace, but you're burning yourself out. You dont want to end up to the hospital. When i see you running it worries me. Please dont do it just to impress your managers. They have to understand. Just go at a good pace. I can see that youre a good worker though.
I have gotten better with stowing. Muscle memory obtained. I did buffing, which isn’t too bad, but stressful when I am constantly getting heavy oversized packages. Even if I get team lift assistance, packages are moving fast down the belt. Stowing can make one tired, but I notice that the shift goes by faster for me.
Glad to hear you’re making strides with stowing! I really hate buffing, I’ve only done full shifts of picking/buffing a handful of times…but I enjoy the pre-sort picking/buffer which is only an hour.
At the moment I’m bouncing around to induct/unloading next to stowing, time really flies by there..
Stowing is really fun when you’ve stowed each bag properly, utilizing all the space neatly, so then at the end - you’ve got room to fit in that last big box that always comes last.. then you’ve become proficient. And you’ll be able to help neighbors if they’re behind
@@mikeeonfiya I try to stow with proficiency, but also anticipating wide boxes. Most of the stowers who “help” me in other rows just stow jiffies and then place jiffies face down on top. They basically make avalanches. I constantly have to rearrange my stow totes. I told my managers about it. I don’t wanna be audited for a slow stow rate, if I have to constantly readjust stow bags so that I can fit a wide box into a tote. My bosses have told me that it’s better to have things stowed neatly and organized than to rush stowing. The learning ambassadors who trained me seemed to have a different idea, which is to be fast no matter what.
Love the music bro ❤
I have a Milwaukee m12 job site radio speaker…shit can get lonely when you work hours where people are normally sleep, and sleep when people are normally awake…so the speaker reminds me of my lady who got it for me.
But thanks, I have a mixed genre playlist for stowing. If you have any Milwaukee tools - specifically the m12 fuel line, get yourself the job site radio! It’s better than my previous JBL flip & JBL go.
Songs:
1. Ooyy - Teenage Lullaby
2. Kiri T - Twenty-Something (Lucian Remix)
3. Danger - 11:03
4. Shiny Toy Guns - Major Tom
Enjoy 🙏
@@mikeeonfiya btw you have any personal playlist I can check out? I’m tired of listening to same music and Spotify keeps recommending same shit 😂
@@siamimam2109ey bro, even though you’re on Spotify - try to see if you are able to view the songs from my Apple Stow 02.06.23 Playlist,
Hope it shows the list - cherry pick the songs to fit you.
Hope this’ll add some feng shui to your stow
music.apple.com/us/playlist/02-06-23-amazon-stow/pl.u-mJy8150Cyxz5lb
Notice he only moving fast when its EARLY show after second break
It’s a 15 minute clip, we still move quick until staging.
Could you please explaim me step by step what do i have to do when the bag is full ? Also if I scam a box and theres no bag to put the box ? Thankyouuu
You are spending to much time only in One Aisle and You are stressing you self... When you are busy you should clear 50% of the Boxes that are in the Racks for easy access to the Pickers and only 50% of jiffies in case there is a lot of them...Then move to the next Aisle... Remember you can come back and clear Racks and Jiffies later if you have time... Also Remember You Don't going to be every night 300 - 400 + Stowing ... Always Use the Cart and Use Your Legs to Lean Down "Not your Back"... Good Luck !!! and always Safety First !!!...
Stowing is the worst job at amazon ..
I’m with you on that. The pet peeves for me when it comes to stowing is stowing the bottom bags and when I have to move to a different aisle, the bags are disorganized. I get OCD when I stow and I need those bags to be organized and that is one my downfalls when it comes to stowing because I get behind and I spend too much time on organizing the bags.
@@DaPlatinumJedi
I hear you !
I quit Amazon today ..
HR and the managers are just incompetent idiots, and I could not take it anymore ..
Amazon workers need to unionize !
Canadian Amazon workers are unionizing ..
So this is how my totes are packed, interesting
unfortunately, this footage is quite old - I've only gotten neater with my stow and how I arrange it.
My goal is to abide by standardized operation procedures SOP; where we stow in what they call 'Library Style' so that boxes are on the left, jiffies on the right, and Tetris-style to utilize all the space.
Some stowers don't abide by SOP, they stow messy, and don't have room for bigger boxes towards the end...thus they close the bag, and open a new one. The new one will then only have 1-5 pkg inside, so less deliveries for the drivers.
Good intentions in stow, driver assist, and all aspects.
My first day is in 2 weeks
Nah it’s fine to clear it out, because then if you leave volume the floater will catch ya! And then your bags are screwed 😂. 400 Club everyday bro! @mike
When a floater comes by I catch them and let it be known I fly solo. It's all good harm no foul...they'll understand when you voice up and say I got this, I prefer to stow on my own, I've got my own pattern and stow etiquette.
Yeah, trying to maintain 400/pph club membership is hard because I spend too much time reorganizing as I go...fastest is probably 380.
check out my latest upload..its my last upload to show everyone how to stow in sequence, using smart stow, stow cart, OV's, and 2 empty jiffy method.
Nice.....
Does your warehouse have 50% rack completion policy? We had to clear out the middle rack and move to the next. It ensures none of the aisles look like a disaster.
Yes but usually every rack is a disaster, there are 4 unloaders/inductors going at 2,000/hr, and 2 new automatic inductor machines. But only lanes A, B, C, & D are open for business.
Some days they open E, G & H, J, but rarely.
@@mikeeonfiya Ahh that makes sense. We were always slammed after 2am because that’s when most of the Trucks showed up. Automatic machines?? Sheesh. I wanna see a video of that 😂
We stow down 60% of ours
How long have delivery stations been 10 hours when I was working at one from 2017-2019 it’s was only part time
5 hrs sortation, 3 hrs for routes, my warehouse is small compared to others; which is where 10 hrs sortation comes into the fray
I am so nervous. My shift is from 6:20 pm to 12:50 am. I am wondering what I will be doing at a Delivery Warehouse
No need to worry at all. 6:20 pm to 12:50 am is return to station (RTS) shift.
You’ll physically open bags, debrief drivers, and basically prepare the warehouse for the Cycle 1 guys.
Such as in this video, when we start the shift - the bags need to be opened for us to stow.
Stay safe and have fun out there!
@@mikeeonfiya thank you so much 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I like your video is it hard to work at the warehouse
Thank you - difficulty is dependent on (1) different positions & (2) the pace you opt to go for.
If you check my latest upload, the Unloader position is one that I find most difficult, as in your muscles will be taxed.
Stay safe out there
I start nov 5 1am - 11:50am night schedule I need tips to not burn out and have the energy to replenish myself the next day very nervous
During work; bring a 32 oz insulated water bottle, refill water & ice every break, put electrolyte packets to replenish what you’ll lose if you sweat.
I sweated everyday so that’s my biggest tip I could give.
Ask the PA’s about your stats, and take in stride to become better everyday, whether it’s to increase stow rate (pph), or precision by deceasing first scan failed attempt (FSFA). This is a way of turning the job into a game and having fun.
When it comes to sleep, I found it sufficient to sleep at 5:30 pm and wake up hr earlier.
Do you have crazy body soreness after and what about the shoes you wear I’m having trouble choosing a shoe that Amazon gives us because standing for 10 hours will eventually kill your feet thanks for the advice man
Empieso en el turno de 1:am a 11:30 am..consejos y alguien q me diga como.es el trabajo en ese turno
When you got hired can you chose the position you want or they will assign it to you?
Yeah if the PA knows your strengths and weaknesses in positions, don’t be afraid to ask.
In the 7-months that I was working at Amazon, I was only assigned to Stow, Unload/Induct, and Non-Cons.
I was quick and proficient on in those positions, so it makes the daily operations smooth.
Especially Stow; you can get ahead, stay ahead, keep the Picker from overloading the Buffer rack and help other aisles in need. I was only assigned to Pick maybe 5 times, I was horrible at that.
If your body aches in a certain position, let it be known to the PA & AM, they’ll understand.
* this video actually makes me cringe now…I was only 2 months in and wanted to record and shed light on DS work, but I failed to capture moments when it’s absolute chaos and busy. My recent Stow upload show emphasis on rearranging pkgs as you Stow.
Hope this helps, stay safe and have fun out there.
Anyone wanna give me advice i start on the 11/14 from 10:50 - 2 am as delivery station associate
You’ll be working RTS shift. The end of your shift around 1230-2am, you will unload Go-Karts and stage it for Unloaders at Induct.
Or you’ll handle packages undelivered from drivers returning to station.
You might digitally open bags as they are opened physically earlier in the shift.
RTS shift is more autonomous and relaxed compared to Cycle 1, where the speed of work slows down significantly.
I worked there for a week… had to quit cause of school …. Ngl it’s a good job for the way it pays
7 months for me. I resigned recently but will probably reapply.
Amazon has been without a doubt, the most fun job that I've ever had.
I have a bachelor's degree, but when it comes to my Amazon DS - all of us Associates are equal; which I like.
There is no talk about your accolades, your merit, your socioeconimic status, education acheivements, blah blah none of that, we all work together cohesively as a team, from start to end, making sure the packages arrive to the customer; from receving FC trailors > Water Spider > Unload > Induct Conveyor > Induct Non Con > Push > Divert > Sort > Pick > Stow...and ending in Pick & Stage. Physically open bags if we are ahead.
Take care out there!
I have a interview for this position, the application said only 19hrs a week? would it be possible to do this for more hrs?
Yep, they offer voluntary extra time (VET). I was a part timer at 25 hrs a week, but I would usually get 27-30 hrs.
I’m full time now, so I believe the same will be for you if you stick around for 3 months and work hard.
Take care out there
@@mikeeonfiya thanks bro, I haven't been to work since dec 2021 cause I broke my arm at work and now I am ready to get back into the workforce
@@ClipzRus93 that sounds like well rested and recovery. Stay safe out there!
Dude you are so slow and upright library style please…..stay with the program .
I was 4 months into working dude. I ain’t there anymore, are you stuck there your whole life?
Packages should not be on the floor
It’s temporary for each interval
What was your time? Like how many packages per min? How to get 400?
On this day my stow rate was 351/uph, and total stow volume was 1,580.
* Edit: To hit 400/uph, you’ll need to average out ~7 pkgs per minute e.g., 5 pkgs a min, 60 mins in an hour = 5 * 60 = 300/uph
….or 7 pkgs a min, 60 mins in an hour = 7 * 60 = 420/uph
You’ll hear 100% of the time that jiffies is how you can achieve 400-500/uph, but don’t get it twisted…box pkgs can equate to ~ 5 jiffies.
If they playing awful music like that I couldnt work there
I'm wondering if some u guys every had a truly pysically tuff job I've did heavy labor construction roofing I worked dusk tell dawn some times 30 days straight hell when it snowed have to run a job while doing snow removal 1 time we worked 37 hrs straight y'all even sikeing me out I's it really that bad guys? I start I'n 2 days if anything I'm do it for a month just get some $ banked give me some cushion seems pretty simple atleast no drama not have to use my Brian much lol,so can any1 with a construction back ground Chime in is it really that bad I am creeping up on 40 over here
You in Canada?
Can u use airpods?
They restrict air pods, but I jam on my Milwaukee m12 jobsite speaker.
Music makes work fun and thinking back, the song that I remember Amazon is “Interworld - Metamorphosis (Slowed + Reverb)” - I played that song every morning driving to work at 255 am…
Only the street lights glowed and instrument cluster in my car while its dark out before starting your shift. I’d play that song through out the shift to amp me up.
Amazon was a fun job, so I’d recommend bringing a personal speaker to make it more enjoyable (although I heard they have PPE type ear buds now).
whats the average volume at ur warehouse?
Which warehouse are you location at and volume number?
My location average 76,000-86,000k volume and expected to start being closer to 100k in the next half year.
Our warehouse is small, it ranges from 39-50k volume.
Next door we have another DS with 80-90k volume.
I like our small warehouse, everybody knows each other on a first name basis, close-knit feeling. But yeah with a smaller size, maybe 36 stowers each day until it gets busy…
@@mikeeonfiya where is your warehouse located?
Bay Area CA
@@mikeeonfiya Same here. I am at DUR3 Milpitas.
HR is not impressed
I moved onto better things. Are you stuck with Amazon like a barnacle?
barnacle deez nuts ^-^
Still at Amazon?
Yessir, rotating between unload/induct to stow
@@mikeeonfiya nice.
Hey I was trying to transfer to my local delivery station and it’s said single circle short / pick stage ! What is that mean ??
Single cycle sort and pick means you’ll be doing the last handling of packages coming from fulfillment centers, and you’re responsible to induct them, get it on the conveyor belt (receiving/inbound stage) pick packages belonging to pertaining alphabetical aisles, then stowing them into bags (like what I do here.)
At the end, you’ll do route picking, and put the bags on a cart to be ready for drivers to pick them up and deliver to the customer (load out phase).
I think this is what they are gonna have me doing. This the 1:30am to 11:50 shifts?
@@myfriend7681my apologies for the late response, yep you’ll start & end from 1:20 am - 11:50 am.
At 8:50 am is when you wrap things up and get ready for Pick & Stage at the launch pad, getting the bags/OV’s ready for the driver as per their automated routes.
