Is doing Amazon FLEX UK as a side hustle worth it in 2024? (3 hour block)

Here is a video from a 3 hour block I picked up not too long ago.
Obviously everyone's experiences are different with Amazon FLEX.
This particular block happened to be quite a nice one.

In my opinion, doing Amazon FLEX is only worth it if you live quite close to your local depot and you have an economical car.

Would you deliver parcels for that much money? 👀

Enjoyed that vid mate. Not sure how/why the algorithm threw it my way but I’m now subscribed! 😂👏👏

I signed up for flex 8 months ago haven't received any work yet & I'm in quite a busy area.

it’s really worth it. my contract on my last job ended so just looking for a job in between, indeed flex really helps.

can earn up to £21 an hour easy

19 drops yesterday, £58 - they were a little bit more spaced out than the usual 35/38 but still done in 2 hours from scanning to last drop...what did annoy me was a number of customers clearly had further parcels left earlier in the day - but they were so obvious! One literally at the front door step on a completely open new build estate (mine went through the letterbox)...does make me worry it will affect my standing if any complaints are attributed to someone elses shoddy delivery.

You can scan the laminated qr on the flap inside the bag but I don't recommend it either way.

Your videos are great
Thanks for that
Drivers shouldn't encourage the blocks are easy because mostly they are actually difficult and there are so many things can go wrong and delay your moves as you know better. Amazon now pushing so many parcels beyond reasonable numbers to drivers to deliver and this should now be reported and discussed by all. Adding lots of stress and unreasobale amount of pressure on drivers and their safety. Would be nice to discuss these too. Thanks

Hey buddy great content and a great help thank you, a quick question how does the insurance side of it work please?

[NAKAZAWA]

When u showed ur phone screen, Noticed something that make me smile, May god protect u brother.

Be good to see the pre tax total more as would make more sense for most people viewing who may not have to pay tax on all earnings

[nodwaa]

I understand you get a lot to deliver.
But I hate it when parcels are left outside when the shed it 15 more steps away. Usually pissing it down aswell

Hi mate great vid. I’ve done Amazon on the side for 3 years was just wondering how you work out your miles or what app you use to track. Also how do you work your tax out for the year do you log it?

[mathew]

What SDPC and business insurance do you use? As I found out the difficult way the major players, LV, Hastings, Direct Line, Admiral don't allow for top-up insurance (aka: hire & reward or addon), don't allow couriers on their own business packages either or even allow you to have other policies with other insurers entirely but Amazon and other gig apps don't tell you about this stuff (or don't make it obvious much like the mainstream insurers).

[glen-m]

Nice video, mate! I just wanted to ask—have you registered yourself as self-employed, or how do you handle things in terms of taxes? Also, what have you done regarding insurance? Are you using the hourly insurance that Amazon suggests, or have you arranged something else?

[angelrumenovski]

Nice job mate.
I want to ask is there any chance to work for the weekend and is it allowed only one block per day or more blocks

[stephenpalmer]

I work from the same depot as you, I prefer the afternoon blocks. It's difficult sometimes finding out the way places in the daylight let alone the night time!

[ChrisTalksCash]

Im a home courier for yodel..use my own car..this destroys your car with the constant start stopping and is a killer on fuel consumption.

[lucianonazario]

Thanks such a nice video with many info however I have a question do u need to have any type of car or doesn't matter if it's euro 4 euro 5 for example many thanks

[PaulB-qd]

What do you have left after the specialist delivery insurance and the tax take, petrol and depreciation? Or are these figures net?

[Zack-csrw]

Have you had to add hire and reward insurance?
