We’re Independent Contractors not Amazon employees. Why should we go out of pocket for Amazon flair? Part of the appeal of Flex for many is the fact that we can wear regular clothes and go incognito when making deliveries. It’s great, I love it too. Wearing sweat pants or whatever im comfortable in is a big plus.
Yet we see people with the Flex car magnets and other Amazon flair. Im one of those. I bought the car magnets from eBay and of-course a Flex Swag original design sticker from TeeSpring. So… Why do we do it?
The answer is simple. It’s because we are providing a service for Amazon and we take pride in out work. There is no substitute for professionalism. Sure we could deliver in our pajamas if we wanted (and some people do) but don’t be surprised when you get some crazy looks by customers. Sometimes costumers can even be taken aback or fearful of plain clothed persons on their property.
That’s why I consider Amazon flair (at the very least wear the lanyard) and Flex Swag to be an essential must have for anyone doing this job seriously. For the simple fact that something like a car magnet, sticker, or lanyard can put customers at east when a stranger enters their property.
With this visible flair customers instantly know your intentions, as a delivery person. Without them, we’re just plain clothed, normal car driving strangers, until they see us with a package.
In my opinion, putting customers at ease is well worth the $40 for car magnets. Or $6 for a Flex Swag sticker that works great as a bumper addition. Appreciate you guys. As always, be safe out there!
