The small products are the easiest parts you'd wanna top prioritize by getting rid of them and make the medium/larger products a low priority. You get rid of more stuff faster if you start stowing the small products first before you're left with the larger products to stow. So, you would gain decent productivity and average where they would expect you to average in scanning or more. One thing you NEVER wanna do is stick your body parts or cross over the open bay (where your ladder is between the steel fencing) into AR area where the robots go all over the place.

Currently doing my 30 days for stowing. It's not bad at all considering the mental energy is extremely low and I don't have to interact with anyone. That being said, 12 & 1/2 shifts are absolutely destroying my flat feet. It's literally the only thing I'm disliking right now.
I work in stowing and my favorite part is getting the big boxes filled with like 600-1000 items and your count goes upp especially when they're small as hell and fit into 6" pods or 9" pods and you can stick multiples everywhere it always keeps my time at 9 secs .
Don’t entirely be fooled there are like three types of stowing, so if you think this one is easy it’s because it is the package weight dose not go over like 0.5g. The other two are by far harder where you have to lift 15-23kg every 2minutes as well as stow at 450 ph, however sometimes the line supervisor is annoying and thinks everyone can do like 600ph for 8-10 straight hours.
All them quotas are ridiculous.....what if something malfunctions???? As it does everyday in outbound packing.....I go tell them kids in charge and say "I ain't getting no 215 this hour with the machine being replaced or the computer screen blanks out 5X.....OO THEY WILL SEE IT FOR THEMSELVES.
My wife says maintenance employees make $25 an hour to start and hardly work until something breaks. Why not try that? Machines, robots, conveyors, computers, etc, eventually break.
To be honest, I don't know how to get their maintenance job. My wife is aware only because I work in maintenance elsewhere. I suppose people who work there are on the inside track to get those jobs. I never saw the jobs listed publicly.
For those wondering. I work at Amazon myself and I can recommend getting training for the shipping department. By far the best department, stow etc you feel a little isolated
Do what I did and apply for a level 3 job within Amazon. I'm with TOM team and I love it..I will never go back inside the building ever again. I'm done with that

@@damnathan6175 yes I went negative with my upt and pto so they fired me! But it worked out just fine because got a way way better job after.

Look for a different job, and when you got one get the hell out of that place!
@@marcuspolk1197 fortunately for me when I worked at Amazon I was in my last term of college to get my Bachelor's degree in psychology. So I ended up getting an Office Coordinator/accounting job. Even though it wasn't in my degree field, it was still very very much better than Amazon. If you want to stay in a warehouse type of job, there are warehouse jobs that pay way better than Amazon and treat their employees way better.

I also work as a stower, but stow in large bags Label A-G 1-3 bags and when i scan a package the assign bag lights up, it's the same process every single day, sometime packs are stuck together and you end up putting it in the wrong bags sometimes.
@@damnathan6175 yeah I remember having to send a few in a row away because it would bring me pods for little items and I only had big items so my send away rate would go up along with my percentage they wanted us around a 15 percent I think it was and you would be lucky to get in the 20's
Same the one I work at well get a mixture or boxes and jiffy’s and we scan them then the bag light it put it in in there then scan the bag same shit everyday but it’s easy money

@@mlgaming3401 I used to work at a wood company and I would have like a big table with chains and I have to cut it with a machine it has 5 saws and I would have to throw like 130 pieces of wood or more non stop to a catcher he would make sure the wood is the right Length and the right angles and some type I get 20 ft wood and I throw with my left and then with my right hand I flip it upside right and I would have to reach a certain percentage from 6 to 12 and then from 12:45 to 5 so I can’t be slow
Idk why this is so confusing to me. I used to work at a sorting site and it was amazing but had to quit for an emergency and when I tried to apply there were no openings so my other option was a fulfillment center, where I will be an inbound stower just like you. My main problem is that I get scared that some items might not get registered when I actually put them in the bins. At the sorting center, when you “stow a package” you hear a sound that lets you know it was stowed but here you just hope the camera caught it, right? I also don’t know if it’s ok to move bins around to have all same size items to stow in a certain pod. Ughhh I really dislike their training they should have us shadow someone for at least an hour instead of just giving us instructions and leave us on own own.
@@elixio thank you so much. Ive been there now for 3 months or so and my location is pretty chill. I like it! I now know all the rules and it's great to know I can move bins around (as long as that's the one I have "active" because I hated walking all the way to the end getting things done by one. Lol
Man this looks way different then ours, ours is easy we are a new delivery station , warehouse isnt that big and everytning is new and we only have 6 isles open the stower you just grab the package off the buffer racl scan it and theres an isle open of empty driver bags that you put the package into then scan the bag, easy peezy what u guys are doing is way diff
Watching this makes me mad, like the PTSD, The beepings. Damn that place is a prison 😂 standing for 12 hours straight. I just started working at Amazon for like a month
Do you're self a favor get a better job when you can. Don't settle for the bare minimum. You are going to waste your life away to these companies that will cut you loose without hesitation. I speak from painful experiences with grocery and warehouse jobs working too hard and too long for nothing.
I stow at Amazon and I got two write ups for productivity. I've been there for 2 months. Stowing is not for me. However I got injured on the step ladder a month ago. I rather be trained in something else.
Same things happened to me! I get write ups and got injured on the stupid ladder, my right hip is messed up because of the ladder. Now I climb if I feel like it. Drinking pineapple juice and seeing a chiropractor has also helped my hip injury.
@Kathy Brundidge I'm feeling better by going to physical therapy twice a week and I'm on medicine from my primary doctor. I've been doing physical therapy and it's helping. I started going back to the gym and doing the stretches from physical therapy at the gym twice a week. I'm taking it easy at the gym. I really hope to get in another position soon. I've been on a leave of absence for 2 months which is 12 weeks. I tried putting in an accommodation, but they denied it.
As long as you don't go for 15+ minutes, you're good. I always time myself to get back to my station at like 12-13 minutes so I don't get bitched at lol.
My picking average is 460 a hour. But if I want to pick faster I pick around 545 to 560 a hour no joke. I pick everyday that I could pick a item with out really looking inside the bin...lol
i work in the grocery warehouse of amazon. but im thinking of transferring to a Fulfillment center. cuz i like the donut shift. the monday tuesday thursday friday. our warehouse theres ony sun-wed and wed-sat. im thinking of maby outbound pack flow or pack singles. or even picking. any of these reccomend?
I wish I had seen this video before I started working at Amazon two years ago. Some days I love my job as a stower, other days, not so much, but I still wouldn't trade it. I'm wondering where your fulfillment center is. I think I have seen LGB7 on a tote sticker somewhere.
If you scan it and it beeps once with a green light you can stow it, if you hear the noise that sounds like an error scan and screen turns red, that means the item is too big for that pod and you shouldn't stow it or the barcode wasn't scanned correctly
I used to be in stow for a few years and I don't know how the hell I lasted that long..lol. I hated this job so much with the exception of when I moved to day shift and I actually liked the people I worked with at the time. But after awhile I was so done and couldn't handle settling for this mind numbing job anymore so I applied elsewhere within Amazon. I kept going for TOM team for awhile which is where you work outside and deal with the trailers that come in and out of the yard. I did it seasonally at a different building and I loved it but they couldn't keep me on permanently so I had to go back to stow. I was so pissed lol. But ever since then I kept applying for TOM team and I finally got it about eight months ago. I highly recommend going for that job if you hate being inside the building at Amazon..it pays better, you get to be outside, no rate or having to be on your feet for long periods of time and they pay for you to get your CDL.
@@damnathan6175 No, we don't unload trailers at all. We have a guard shack where we check in and check out trailers to go to dock doors or parking slips and we drive the trailers ourselves to move them where they need to go. There's other things too that we have to watch out for like making sure third party drivers and leaving with their loads on time and what not. I would apply for the full time position if they have it but let them know that you're a student and they should be able to accommodate your schedule.
@@damnathan6175 Go to a computer in the break room when you're at work and go to your hub, click resources and then scroll down to job finder. Type in the name of your building and look for openings for transportation associate. Or you can type in transportation associate and see if anything comes up for other facilities nearby
@@Ev1015 thank you for this bro, I've been working on and off Amazon since 2020. AFE Pack is honestly the WORST job at Amazon. I stow now and I don't hate it as much, but that transport gig sounds real fuckin dope. Thanks man.
You don't seem to even look at the screen when scanning items. Can you stow an item wherever you want on the pod? If so... how can the system later know, which exact slot you put that item into when a picker is going to pick it?
It’s just depend how fill the space is, sometime there’s a free space you can easily put stuff in. Sometime you have to organize the the bin so you can put the item in there. If you can’t find a space then you have to let it go.
Hey bro just curious what do you get paid? And is it weekly or biweekly? And I understand everyone frustrations but I think this a thing you just gotta experience yourself as far as Amazon goes? I’m thinking of getting this job just not sure yet.
It’s bi weekly. I’m not going to be here and sugar coat it. This job is insane it was good when I started first but after like 2 months things start changing like the environment itself. The manager started getting stricter for no reason. For example I was stowing at least 500-600 item every 2 hour but they started giving us big boxes and they wanted us to stow big item fast when there’s no space on the pod to put it. They know they give us big boxes and later what to blame us for not stowing fast enough. Second reason, the rate and the way they track you is unrealistic for human. They want us to stowing at the same pace of 250 item per hour for 10hr on your feet without getting tired. They don’t care about your health dude if you get injure at the sight, you better have pto or upt or you will get fired even though you get injure at the job. I was injured many times but I was force to keep working cause I don’t want to get fired cause I have no time to cover it. It up to you.
@@AM-bo7wo you have a better chance winning the lottery than getting workers comp at amazon. cameras everywhere, and you best have on gloves when it happens.

Idk if you wear hearing protection at Amazon or not but if you do you could ask if they have like the ear muff things and then just have airpods inside that's what I always do
@@itsstephanieee9128 you probably apply for picker but I apply to stow so I went to stow but you can always switch departments after 30 day but just make sure you don’t get any write up doing those time. Because write up last like 30 days for you to get rid of them, and you can’t switch departments. So in 30 days, just tell your manager you want to know how to stow and they will transfer you to stowing.
You have to wait 30 days and make sure you don’t get any write up during that 30 days because that can stop you from being able to transfer to other departments. You can also ask your manager that you want to switch to pack

What is the purpose of stowing? I just want to know where the shelves go and what the process would be before and after you place the objects on those shelves. I haven’t seen a video of anybody explaining the purpose
Those shelves now go to another person and they do what is called picking the computer tells u what to get out and it get placed again in another yellow tote and it goes down to induct where they scan one by one and put in a grey tote. Now it goes to rebin where they now put in a wall for the packer to grab and pack
So you scan an item and it either turns green or red, if its red where do you put it? if its green does it tell you which department on that yellow thing to put it or do you just put the item anywhere? and what happens when there is no more space on that yellow trolley thing?
It’s pretty depressing and there’s all these stupid rules behind stowing you just can’t put an item we’re ever you want. Item size determines what size pod cubby you put in otherwise it won’t let you stow

I also work as a stower, but stow in large bags Label A-G 1-3 bags and when i scan a package the assign bag lights up, it's the same process every single day, sometime packs are stuck together and you end up putting it in the wrong bags sometimes.
I feel you but stowing with a pod is different because the right pod don’t even come
@@damnathan6175 yeah I remember having to send a few in a row away because it would bring me pods for little items and I only had big items so my send away rate would go up along with my percentage they wanted us around a 15 percent I think it was and you would be lucky to get in the 20's

Idk why this is so confusing to me. I used to work at a sorting site and it was amazing but had to quit for an emergency and when I tried to apply there were no openings so my other option was a fulfillment center, where I will be an inbound stower just like you.
My main problem is that I get scared that some items might not get registered when I actually put them in the bins. At the sorting center, when you “stow a package” you hear a sound that lets you know it was stowed but here you just hope the camera caught it, right?
I also don’t know if it’s ok to move bins around to have all same size items to stow in a certain pod. Ughhh I really dislike their training they should have us shadow someone for at least an hour instead of just giving us instructions and leave us on own own.
@@elixio thank you so much. Ive been there now for 3 months or so and my location is pretty chill. I like it!

plot twist, there IS no fulfillment working there
What is that beeping sound the screen kept on making? And how did u resolve it? Everything you scanned..beeped
If you scan it and it beeps once with a green light you can stow it, if you hear the noise that sounds like an error scan and screen turns red, that means the item is too big for that pod and you shouldn't stow it or the barcode wasn't scanned correctly
I used to be in stow for a few years and I don't know how the hell I lasted that long..lol. I hated this job so much with the exception of when I moved to day shift and I actually liked the people I worked with at the time. But after awhile I was so done and couldn't handle settling for this mind numbing job anymore so I applied elsewhere within Amazon. I kept going for TOM team for awhile which is where you work outside and deal with the trailers that come in and out of the yard. I did it seasonally at a different building and I loved it but they couldn't keep me on permanently so I had to go back to stow. I was so pissed lol. But ever since then I kept applying for TOM team and I finally got it about eight months ago. I highly recommend going for that job if you hate being inside the building at Amazon..it pays better, you get to be outside, no rate or having to be on your feet for long periods of time and they pay for you to get your CDL.
Do you unload trailer and what do actually do? And I am a student now so I can’t do 10 hours I can only do 8 can they allow part time
@@damnathan6175 No, we don't unload trailers at all. We have a guard shack where we check in and check out trailers to go to dock doors or parking slips and we drive the trailers ourselves to move them where they need to go. There's other things too that we have to watch out for like making sure third party drivers and leaving with their loads on time and what not. I would apply for the full time position if they have it but let them know that you're a student and they should be able to accommodate your schedule.
How do you apply

You can put items in any pod or for every item there specific pod?
Must be easy as hell to waterspider with all that open space you guys have. Over at GEG1 they got done narrow ass paths.
Is it easy to know where to place the items in stowing in those bins you showed us?
It’s just depend how fill the space is, sometime there’s a free space you can easily put stuff in. Sometime you have to organize the the bin so you can put the item in there. If you can’t find a space then you have to let it go.
@Masjid Tafsir IBN Kathir Good luck
Hey bro just curious what do you get paid? And is it weekly or biweekly? And I understand everyone frustrations but I think this a thing you just gotta experience yourself as far as Amazon goes? I’m thinking of getting this job just not sure yet.
It’s bi weekly. I’m not going to be here and sugar coat it. This job is insane it was good when I started first but after like 2 months things start changing like the environment itself. The manager started getting stricter for no reason. For example I was stowing at least 500-600 item every 2 hour but they started giving us big boxes and they wanted us to stow big item fast when there’s no space on the pod to put it. They know they give us big boxes and later what to blame us for not stowing fast enough. Second reason, the rate and the way they track you is unrealistic for human. They want us to stowing at the same pace of 250 item per hour for 10hr on your feet without getting tired. They don’t care about your health dude if you get injure at the sight, you better have pto or upt or you will get fired even though you get injure at the job. I was injured many times but I was force to keep working cause I don’t want to get fired cause I have no time to cover it. It up to you.

So you scan an item and it either turns green or red, if its red where do you put it? if its green does it tell you which department on that yellow thing to put it or do you just put the item anywhere? and what happens when there is no more space on that yellow trolley thing?
if it’s green the scan was good and you can put it wherever it fits, if it’s red you probably scanned the wrong barcode
