Delivering packages to Amazon customers is a great way to earn extra money with a trusted company that puts safety and innovation first. 1Earnings 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. 2Based on UK average fuel consumption for a courier or logistics vehicle. 3___.
