Peak season is over my friends. The holidays are long gone. This means less volume and more competition for blocks. I bet you’ve been seeing a lot of “No offers available. Check back soon.” messages or the dreaded “Sorry, This block has already been taken.” red banner of doom. Maybe it’s time to try the “Available Now” instant offers. Here’s what you’ll want to have to get started with Amazon Flex Instant Offers.
If you live in or near these areas, lucky you! You can become available now for Instant Offers.
What you’ll need:
- Get yourself a bag to keep the food warm. It’s not a requirement, but highly recommended! If you want good tips and to receive good feedback, get a food bag. Get a large enough bag so that you can fit pizzas in it as well. Cold pizza is a bummer.
- Clean the inside of your car. Seriously no one wants to see their food delivery driver with a filthy car. Cleaning the outside every now and then is a good idea too.
- Decide which area you want to go into. Look at the map, find a popular spot and go there. You’ll start getting pings in no time.
- Dress decently and be friendly. You really don’t have to interact much with the customers. A nice smile and hello will do it. Looking good and well groomed should definitely help with those tips.
- Be patient with restaurants. Not all of them are going to have the food ready when you arrive. It’s unfortunate but a part of the job. Be patient with them. Remember some of them may have just started doing Amazon Restaurants.
- You don’t need to drive super fast. It’s not like the old days when Dominoes had a 20 minute delivery window or something like that. Don’t be speeding because it’s not worth the ticket. If you’ve got a food bag your all good. Obey the law!
What to expect:
Step 1
Turn on ‘Available Now’ from the home screen of the Amazon Flex app and get ready to receive offers.
Step 2
When you receive an offer, review the details and swipe if you want to accept.
Step 3
Follow the app to navigate to the restaurant and complete the delivery.
It really is that simple. If you’ve ever done UberEats it’s a lot like that but Amazon pays better and your more likely to get tipped. The Rachael Ray Jumbo ChillOut Thermal Tote is perfect for the job. It’ll fit pizzas and everything else. Good luck with Instant Offers. Hope you enjoy it and make some serious cash!
