I would say 99% of our Amazon Prime Now deliveries get made by people who are also Uber drivers and doing this on the side lol

Good luck with it... i gave up with it, they are all over the place with departments not talking to each other as regards the sign up process.. spent weeks trying to explain the background check guys never contacted me they just couldnt grasp that

Pretty disappointing to read all this. You'd have thought a company the size of Amazon would be all over this!!

HI Chris,

I thought I'd update you on Amazon Flex in Northern Ireland. Personally I wouldn't recommend it for a number of reasons (I accepted a block today and below was what I experienced):

I arrived 5 minutes too early to an empty yard full of high viz vest wearers!

I had no ID with me yet all that information including drivers licence was submitted to Amazon when I was completing my application. Therefore I was unable to complete the block.

One very arrogant and grumpy man in the yard - he appeared to be the chief of operations.

Amazon support don't appear to understand the Northern Ireland accent.

The Amazon Flex yard doesn't appear to be a slick operation. I was in it for all of 10 minutes but too be honest I'm glad to not have done a delivery.

Don't let the above put you off trying a block however I don't think it would be worth doing in Northern Ireland especially if you live in a rural area.

If you want any more information, send me a PM as there are some pieces of information I don't want to post on a public forum.

Crikey that’s not a great experience is it!!

Is there anywhere else you could work from or does it have to be THAT distribution centre?

Thanks for the info.

Sorry to hear about the bad experience. I’m giving it a miss, just too many bad reviews.
