What do you need to deliver with Amazon Flex?
To sign up to Amazon Flex, simply download the app on your iPhone or Android device. Then you can begin the registration process, which includes going through various steps to set up your account and passing a background check. Please note, you may be placed on a waiting list until we begin onboarding more delivery drivers. We tend to onboard more as we head into the busy summer and winter months and will send you an email as soon as we’re onboarding more delivery drivers in your area.
Once you have fully registered with Amazon Flex and are off the waiting list, simply open the app to see available delivery blocks in your area and find a time that suits you. As a self-employed delivery driver you will get paid by Amazon Flex via direct deposit once a week, which you can track in the Earnings section within the Amazon Flex app. To find out more about how and when you will be paid, visit our FAQs page.

* Earnings estimates are based on location and delivering a number of packages across an estimated length of time (referred to as a block), completed while driving a standard motorized vehicle. Should Amazon Flex introduce blocks eligible to be delivered using scooters or other alternative modes of transportation, different rates may apply. We aim to ensure that the number of packages you are assigned to deliver within your block is realistic, taking into account congestion and the primary requirement to drive safely. However, the actual time taken per delivery may vary (because it could, occasionally, take less or more time than expected) so the earnings per hour may vary.
