Hey! love your video, I am actually starting as a delivery driver, but I a stressed to mess up scrambling all the packages and not finding the package at the good moment and loosing time stay safe brooo!!
Hi mate good luck and hope all works out but yeah it can be quite worrying if you don't get enough days you really want atleast 5 days If you're hiring a van
To be honest I am in awe of you guys and girls, the service you give in these times is great never had a missed delivery and always on time, massive respect
Thank you not many people understand how heavy and stressful is this job for all of as delivery driver's The people who really appreciated our work is really very very rare
Great video. I am about to start working as a multi drop delivery driver for Amazon myself and am trying to mentally prepare for it 🤣. Quick question? Does anyone know the best way to rent a van instead of getting one from dsp
Amazon could afford to pay their staff 10x what they do and still be the most profitable company on earth.I just couldn't work for an outfit like that.
It's a shit job buddy. I would not reccommend anyone starting this job. I did it for a few months at the back end of last year. When you add up the hours you do and the pay you get, it's no better than stacking shelves at ASDA or minimum wage. Now, in 2021, van rental has gone up, fuel has gone up but the daily £119/day rate has not. Amazon and DSP's expect you to work like robots, they treat you like shit as if you are some kind of second class citizen. BE WARNED: do not do it!
Hi mate, First of all thanks for video.Just i would like to know your opinion that when u compare HGV and delivery van job which one is better? U are experiance driver thats why i respect ur idea! Thanks a lot and good luck👍
Hi that all depends on your driving experience I have never done hgv driving so I couldn't tell you I would say they both have their own pros and cons, hope this helped, thanks.
do not work for them the pay is not what they claim there is hidden charges tanning is little . training 2 days in the Wearhouse looking at slides 2 days on the job e.g going with someone loading and delivering not a great deal on fixing the apps you have problem's with constantly . then ask for some training in the apps your van disappears and if it is flow logistics you will not get payed . way do you think these companies keep advertising for driver's if the pay is good . people will work hard and try there best to keep the job if the pay was payed .
You will earn the same money everyday doesn't matter about hours unless you want to take extra from others and I recommend getting a van to be worth while it still pays okay If you can get 5 days per week
#ELVISTECHS service has been so helpful to most of the gig workers. Lately he has been the one helping everyone get reactivated and lots more. He got my account reactivated last week and i have been working since then without complain.
Spend a year working as a DA you won’t last any longer! The job is dead, pay is shit the cons outweighs the pros all day long! 200 plus drops a day is a joke and isn’t feasible then you are expected to pick up from other drivers! I was working 6 days a week and just before I quit last week I had already dropped my days down to three. Would i recommend it as a full time job? Naaaaa to earn a few quid to fill the gaps then yes!
I fully agree with what you have said it was literally just to feel the gap and earn some money in the mean time I have now left myself and gone back to my old job.
Haha of course you can and you can do what you want as long as you manage to get down within your route time otherwise support will be sent out and you will be deducted money for amount of parcels taken from you, and where ever u have to go, toilets at services ect or in the back of the van in a bottle not ideal but if you've got to go then you've got to go
@@lifewithjcole1463 I see people saying they have interviews. Is that online or face to face? Seems a good job, i always presumed you guys earned terrible money but my uncle who works outside in all weather gets £140 a day, when this seems like a much better job.
The way it works is he is a subcontractor working for a contracted company doing Amazon delivery’s. I did this to it worked out great until Amazon bought out the subcontracting company and made us all the same as drivers, same pay for every one even if you were faster and better than other drivers. With the subcontractor company they would give you incentives for your hard work Amazon will not!! Unfortunately this is the goal of the subcontractor company to get bought by Amazon by performing well. Good luck pal!!
Actually this is very good video to help people understand how hard we are working because everybody thinks it's a very easy job I'm working for amazon like driver for more than 3 years and I see many people come and goes not everybody can do this job
I work for DX delivery , I do 75 stops average per day , I have a brand new van all paid for and a fuel card and I get £100 per day, I start at 7 and finish deliveries around 2pm and have a collection at 3, happy days
Fuck DX. Used to do it in London, the warehouse all the time messed up taking 4-6hours to load your van cuz parcels all the time somewhere else not in your spot you have to keep searching nobody knows nothing. BULLSHIT. Well it was 5years ago maybe its changed now.
It amazed me to see you get the same amount of packages and stops basically as us in the u.s. I had 170 stops yesterday. Of course around Xmas time it's more like over 200 stops
I started in 2017 and work for 2,5 years. Back then we were able to do “same day” routes(25-40 stops in the evening and we were getting 60 to 80 £ extra) biggest route was 150 stops whit ~180 parcels. Respect for all Amazon drivers! Delivering 4 Amazon is like attending foreign legion training compared with other companies.
@@JU0800 I have MANY DA’s that moved to me after I was transparent with them Unfortunately not all managers do their job properly and Amazon take the P1SS out of the drivers, not fair in my books
@@JU0800 here’s a tip... 70% of my drivers rent monthly from SIXT or Enterprise, reason being is they are half the price your DSP rents the van and your insurance is included. If your DSP has an “owners incentive” then all you need is GIT policy to receive your extra £15 daily for using your own van 😉
I like this video. We take Amazon for granted really. You click, pay and the items turn up - but it's how that happens we probably forget about. JCole and all are unsung really.

Why do amazon charge you for the van and you can't even take it home hahah would never work for amazon there a disgrace of a company you don't even get payed properly either
I m curious to know if there were certain routes you preferred? Also do you get to know certain addresses/houses? Im just asking as my household orders a lot on amazon, we have deliveries 5/6 times a week. I always wondered what the drivers think if anything!
Yeah there is 100 percent certain routes I preferred but unfortunately they don't always keep you on the same routes and yeah you get to know some people for a little bit then it all gets changed around again personally I think people should have set routes but they don't work like that
Hhhh it’s very hard job I do it now but day after will leave it ( Amazon and manger and e montor and customers and weather traffic all this over your shoulder the mistake on my life this choice will leave it soon thanks
Hello mate, I used to work out of DNR1 as a DA too, back in 2020. Didn't stay too long but it was a decent job, and real hard work. Kudos for sticking at it and hope you never get given NR1 and NR2 routes!
Thanks for the comment Great to hear from somebody in same area yeah it wasn't to bad haha I think I done 1 route around that area luckily didn't have to do again
Great vid mate much appreciated keep up the good work, I start my job in 4 weeks. hope I get as organised as you, your alot younger than me I'll be 50 in Feb next year hopefully I'll lose a few pounds as well Lol
Do they issue a company device with the app on for making deliveries or do you use your own phone and app? I tried looking for those apps on my own phone, but cant seem to find them on the app store....
Some company's provide you with a "rabbit" device basically a brick phone to use but most get you to use your own device, and they will send you links for it all most is found on the Google play store iPhone might be different the amazon flex app is an apk on Google
Hi, just in the process off the application process. I spoke to someone over the phone from amazon, and they told me they provide the van, at no cost of mine? Is that true?
Yeah I only done for 5 months and the mentor was alright in the end I had my personal phone and work phone and I would set mentor up on the phone I didn't use lol
How Often (honestly) are you speeding in order to meet the targets? I am just interested if the stories are true about there being unrealistic targets ?
In all honesty I never go over the speed limit as I was already close to losing my licence but you do tend to accelerate alot faster which isn't great either.
Hi J, Have you registered for VAT? Just completed theory training days with Amazon; my company are encouraging me to register for VAT but don't really know anything abut this.Can you advise?
Hi mate I can't really help with this I don't work there any more I only worked for a couple months but yeah you should register will have to look on gov website that should help
Nice video How did yo find your feed in the job? Did you just figure stuff out yourself? How long do you think you will do this for? cheers also, the costs you cited was that for an amazon van?
Thank you and yeah it's straight forward get a lot of support from other drivers and I only done this for about 6 months until I have gone back to my trade which is air conditioning
@@lifewithjcole1463 your goods in transit insurance only covers parcels in the back of the van and if Amazon catch you with parcels in the front with you then they will offboard you immediately, so be careful
Yeah I was aware of that and so are most drivers but unless you want to be out all night delivering and making it harder for yourself then I suggest putting in the front
I'm going for my interview soon to be an amazon delivery driver in Birmingham, cheers for the video. I was stressing over all the horror stories of working for amazon, but this video makes it seem an ok job.
Luckily never had any dogs go for me you do get some bad dogs at letterboxes tho so be careful with posting as they will snatch, they do give you a stick thing to help post the enveloped through for that reason
Hi mate no I stopped doing this a few months back now due to my old company that let me go due to covid asked for me back , and I hope it all goes well for you, yeah it's done alot of people out of work.
Bit late to the oarty on this but was interesting 🤔 i was looking at doing this but i dont have my own van If you do i believe u can make some serious money
If you lease/rent the van from their affiliated rental Cos and decide to leave: can you still keep the van provided you agree to still pay for it? I am currently waiting for the DBS, so I can start. Thanks
Hi I believe you will have a contract length with your van so could be 14 to 30 days, so if you decide to leave you will keep and continue paying for the van until contract time is up hope this helps.
thx dude for all your good infos.i learned more from you in this video that from the guy which they gave me the 1 st day to do with him(and he was from my country also lol) ...
Hi if you have ordered an age verification over 18 item then yes the driver will have to I'd everyone regardless of age amazon's policy js challenge 100 meaning they have to challenge anybody under the age of 100, hope this helps.
Hi mate thanks for the reply and what I have said is correct what a driver does is different they obviously are not doing there job properly and will be off boarded if found out.
@@david1399 If you reported that driver, not only would he be off boarded by Amazon, he would not be able to deliver for any other courier again... It's against the law to give an over 18 item to a miner... Just like if you were to buy it from a local shop... If the item delivered was alcohol, imagine if she drank it all???... He's an idiot for giving the parcel to your lil sister in the first place and to risk his job for a delivery...
Can I ask about take home wage? Say you worked 5 days @£125 and earned 625 minus your van 200 let's say. Thank how much did you actually take home that week? Cheers
If you're working as you've said and took away your tax let's say 25% as that will include nation insurance aswell think its usually around 25 to 30% you will only take £318
Hello sir! What do I need to start work with Amazon? Asking as guy who is moving to London from abroad. Is it possible to rent a car instead of buying? thanks a lot!!
Hi you will have to apply and they will send you a list of stuff they need including drivers license etc... and yes your company can sort out van rental for you if that's what you want or you can sort your own van rental out.
Thanks!!🙏🏻 Can I advance something before I arrive or must wait until I’m there? On the other hand, is there any video where can I see how the process of the delivery works? 👍🏻👍🏻
@@lifewithjcole1463 OK. One can live on that I'd say. I had heard that Amazon workers were really abused in terms of pay, that was certainly the case for (believe it or not) workers in Germany. But I think these were workers in the buildings sorting things not the drivers such as yourself. Interesting. Thx.
Do you get paid per drop? Or set amount for the day? My place is 85p per parcel in your own van, 65p per parcel in theirs.. how does amazon work in terms of payment.
@@lifewithjcole1463 hmmm thats rough that mate.. greedy bastards capping you at 120 for 200 stops.. if there is a Bespoke near you, check them out. In your own van, cam make 3500 month.. responsible for your own tax, but can claim back a lump for fuel, mot, service, ect ect, if you use an accountant, you end up paying pennies in tax.. if you are doing 170s 190s 200+ you should be getting paid accordingly. That's Bespoke.. they are sister company to hermes
This year tight for me, because its my first as courier.. dropped 3k on van, and my insurance is 1600.. so eating into my prof atm.. but it'll get better..
@@lifewithjcole1463 I like the how organised it looks though, all bagged up, only boxes and lopes.. my gaff, all manner of shit in a cage, gotta zap them in and load..
If your good there and don't get many complaints you will usually be guaranteed 4 to 5 days but if you start falling behind and getting complaints you can be limited to 3 days or less it all depends how busy it is aswell
Amazon drivers are unsung heroes. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

Are Ford Transit Customs big enough for a swb delivery? Good vid btw
Yeah transits will do decently
170 in _just_ six hours? mental!
Anything over 120 for me is a ballache 😂😂😂
Do you just drop the parcel in front of their door or do you wait?
You drop it at the door following covid guidelines and then step back and wait for answer
How much can you expect to take home after van rental and tax per week? Thinking about starting but don't own a van
Thanks
After van rental and tax on a 5 day week maybe 400 to 500
But you can also put the cost of renting the van against your taxes
Sorry if I haven’t seen and been asked.. Is there any requirements regarding to the van i mean age mileage etc. Thank you!
Not that I'm aware of they say they don't like damage but plenty of people drive beat up vans
U should do hermes and Nick all parcels mobile phone and all sorts

In all honesty I never go over the speed limit as I was already close to losing my licence but you do tend to accelerate alot faster which isn't great either.
Great video mate! I've been doing this for the last 2 years! It's a good job only if you have your own van
Fully agree
What is the best way of getting your own van? And does the company have a criteria the van has to adhere to?
What is the best way to get my own van
Great vid thank you very much drive safe and godbless you always
Hi J, Have you registered for VAT? Just completed theory training days with Amazon; my company are encouraging me to register for VAT but don't really know anything abut this.Can you advise?
Hi mate I can't really help with this I don't work there any more I only worked for a couple months but yeah you should register will have to look on gov website that should help
Great video, I’m hoping to start this job soon. Good to hear some positives instead of people moaning about the graft.
Thank you and that's awesome to hear hope it all goes well for you
so was i until i watched this video, pmsl
How many stops are you required to do in an hour as a minimum? If you are doing 27 an hour, I guess you are mainly doing normal neighbourhoods.
I think they say an average is around 20 an hour depending on location
Nice video
How did yo find your feed in the job? Did you just figure stuff out yourself?
How long do you think you will do this for? cheers
also, the costs you cited was that for an amazon van?
Thank you and yeah it's straight forward get a lot of support from other drivers and I only done this for about 6 months until I have gone back to my trade which is air conditioning
Alright bud, I'm in Norwich. Are you still doing this?
No I stopped this a while ago now
Good to see he wasn't kicking the parcels no piss bottles on van alas no parcels to be kept on front seats! Yard Marshall amazon! 😱👍
Haha and it makes it very difficult not being able to keep parcels in front with you
@@lifewithjcole1463 your goods in transit insurance only covers parcels in the back of the van and if Amazon catch you with parcels in the front with you then they will offboard you immediately, so be careful
Yeah I was aware of that and so are most drivers but unless you want to be out all night delivering and making it harder for yourself then I suggest putting in the front
I'm going for my interview soon to be an amazon delivery driver in Birmingham, cheers for the video. I was stressing over all the horror stories of working for amazon, but this video makes it seem an ok job.
Awesome.good luck with your journey hope it all goes well
This package is by order of the peeky fuckin blinders
Why is the camera mirrored, it looks like your driving a left hand drive van.
Must be the way it's recorded on the phone
What about dog attacks? maybe put a dentastix dog chew in your pocket in case a dog tries to go for you?
Luckily never had any dogs go for me you do get some bad dogs at letterboxes tho so be careful with posting as they will snatch, they do give you a stick thing to help post the enveloped through for that reason
? Mate how much did you say you get per hour the video we couldn't make it out
It all depends if you have a van or not but I was getting paid between 130 and 170 per day depending on whether prime day or Christmas deliveries
hows it going mate still doing this? i start monday after been made redundant from my warehouse, was there near a decade, u gotta love covid right :(
Hi mate no I stopped doing this a few months back now due to my old company that let me go due to covid asked for me back , and I hope it all goes well for you, yeah it's done alot of people out of work.
Hi, I'm thinking of doing this job but don't have a van, is a truck large enough?
You will need a van
Bit late to the oarty on this but was interesting 🤔 i was looking at doing this but i dont have my own van
If you do i believe u can make some serious money
Yeah having your own van makes it much more worth it
The toughest wings were made for the toughest bird, btw how much did you buy ur own van im thinking of getting one ☝️
Was around 2000
Enjoyed it mate does your phone tell you where to go as in google maps
Is it in orfer of delivery
Yeah it sets up the route for you so you will go in order you can go through it and change some if you think you will be back and fourth or so
I’m getting Luke Shaw vibes..
I never understand people who wear hoodies while driving! WTF!
Lool it's cold in the morning sometimes
Hey! Do you know which type of drug screening they carry out? A mouth swab or urine sample? Thank you! X
Ha ha ha u thinking u will fail
It's a mouth swab
Why do thay pack food supplements in book folders? I packed up useing Amazon as lost so many items Amazon using book folders .
I have no idea them book folders are useless always fall apart
@@lifewithjcole1463 save a bit of money, but loss customers in the mean time 😂
If you lease/rent the van from their affiliated rental Cos and decide to leave: can you still keep the van provided you agree to still pay for it? I am currently waiting for the DBS, so I can start.
Thanks
Hi I believe you will have a contract length with your van so could be 14 to 30 days, so if you decide to leave you will keep and continue paying for the van until contract time is up hope this helps.
U didn't mention how much earned per day with all this delivery
Hi its all in the video it's around £125 to £130 per day can go up to £170
thx dude for all your good infos.i learned more from you in this video that from the guy which they gave me the 1 st day to do with him(and he was from my country also lol) ...
Haha no worries glad I could help goodluck with your journey
Bro I need a quick answer, do amazon drivers actually id you?
Hi if you have ordered an age verification over 18 item then yes the driver will have to I'd everyone regardless of age amazon's policy js challenge 100 meaning they have to challenge anybody under the age of 100, hope this helps.
@@lifewithjcole1463 Umm think u got it wrong bro, I wasn't home n my little sister age 11 opened the door n they jusy gave it to her.
Hi mate thanks for the reply and what I have said is correct what a driver does is different they obviously are not doing there job properly and will be off boarded if found out.
@@david1399 If you reported that driver, not only would he be off boarded by Amazon, he would not be able to deliver for any other courier again... It's against the law to give an over 18 item to a miner... Just like if you were to buy it from a local shop... If the item delivered was alcohol, imagine if she drank it all???... He's an idiot for giving the parcel to your lil sister in the first place and to risk his job for a delivery...
Can I ask about take home wage? Say you worked 5 days @£125 and earned 625 minus your van 200 let's say. Thank how much did you actually take home that week? Cheers
If you're working as you've said and took away your tax let's say 25% as that will include nation insurance aswell think its usually around 25 to 30% you will only take £318
@@lifewithjcole1463 that's proper shit. 1280 quid per month. No thanks...
That is why I say Ita only worth with your own van extra 200 a week
@@lifewithjcole1463 totally mate
What was the company you are contracted with. I’m looking at elite prime logistics with van rental
What company were you working for, was it amazon themselves or a subcontractor
Hi it was a subcontractor In that sense.
Would you prefer to take parcels to lockers than customer’s homes ?
Lockers are fine as you can sometimes get rid of a bag there houses are great as long as people are home lol
Are you still doing it? Not a bad way to earn a living!
Not now I stopped after about 5 months as got back into my trade
Do they pay the milage back onto your next wage ?
Yeah
any advice how to start to work like a delivery driver ? You joined some agency or rented directly ? thx
Hello sir!
What do I need to start work with Amazon?
Asking as guy who is moving to London from abroad.
Is it possible to rent a car instead of buying?
thanks a lot!!
Hi you will have to apply and they will send you a list of stuff they need including drivers license etc... and yes your company can sort out van rental for you if that's what you want or you can sort your own van rental out.
Thanks for replying. 🙂Will work for myself, is it possible? Rent a car with the insurance isn’t possible? Does it worth?
Thnks for your help!
Thanks
Hi it is worth it if you do 5 days a week otherwise I suggest getting own van
Thanks!!🙏🏻
Can I advance something before I arrive or must wait until I’m there?
On the other hand, is there any video where can I see how the process of the delivery works?
👍🏻👍🏻
I'm not sure there may be other videos on TH-cam I don't have any tho sorry
Friend of mine works at the Ipswich depot and they pay 25 a week for van rental lol
Dam that's good they get less pay tho?
25 quid a week for van rental.something fishy going on there
Thank you for your videos
Where do you pick up the rental van? After your drops do you return it to the rental company? Or do you travel to and from home in it?
My company provided the van and you take the van home every day and can use for private use also.
hell on earth
Hi fella are there any restrictions on you having a dog in the van if the van your own thanks
Hi as far as I know there isn't as long as its not going mad and barking on the pad I don't see why not
OK thanks fella
150 a day... 3000 a month, 36,000 PA. Amazon driver. Is that right?
It's 150 during Christmas or peak times or 125 any other time I believe so like 2700 a month 32500 pa before tax
@@lifewithjcole1463 OK. One can live on that I'd say. I had heard that Amazon workers were really abused in terms of pay, that was certainly the case for (believe it or not) workers in Germany. But I think these were workers in the buildings sorting things not the drivers such as yourself. Interesting. Thx.
No worries glad I could help
Nice vid, Do the job myself would kill for getting loaded at your time. We are not leaving the depot now till 12:55 first stop at 13:25 - 13:45.
Thank you much appreciated and dam really that's a horrible time to be loading at hopefully you don't have to many stops
@@lifewithjcole1463 Usally anywhere from 160 - 190 stops 280 - 330 parcels
That's alot of stops for that time of day feels bad
So if you finish early, do you still get paid full
Yes can also take extra of others for more money
Amazon seem to be the better delivery company
Do you get paid per drop? Or set amount for the day? My place is 85p per parcel in your own van, 65p per parcel in theirs.. how does amazon work in terms of payment.
Paid per route so can be like 250 parcels set pay
@@lifewithjcole1463 hmmm thats rough that mate.. greedy bastards capping you at 120 for 200 stops.. if there is a Bespoke near you, check them out. In your own van, cam make 3500 month.. responsible for your own tax, but can claim back a lump for fuel, mot, service, ect ect, if you use an accountant, you end up paying pennies in tax.. if you are doing 170s 190s 200+ you should be getting paid accordingly. That's Bespoke.. they are sister company to hermes
Yeah not the best yeah that seems like a better option for people that was to just get me by not doing it anymore back at my original job
This year tight for me, because its my first as courier.. dropped 3k on van, and my insurance is 1600.. so eating into my prof atm.. but it'll get better..
@@lifewithjcole1463 I like the how organised it looks though, all bagged up, only boxes and lopes.. my gaff, all manner of shit in a cage, gotta zap them in and load..
I'm Lowestoft buddy keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌
Thank you much appreciated
@@lifewithjcole1463 my brother might be interested in doing it .. as its self employed do u get more then 3 days week
If your good there and don't get many complaints you will usually be guaranteed 4 to 5 days but if you start falling behind and getting complaints you can be limited to 3 days or less it all depends how busy it is aswell
