Deliver smiles, backed by Amazon. To become a delivery driver, you will need a valid UK driving licence, an iPhone or Android smartphone and a mid-size vehicle with 5 seats or larger. You will also need a UK National Insurance Number, proof of your Right to Work in the UK, commercial vehicle insurance (also referred to as ‘hire and reward’ insurance) and, to pass a background and criminal record check which includes, but is not limited to, a review of driving licence records. No previous experience as a transportation driver, truck or lorry driver, taxi driver, courier driver or delivery driver is necessary. Current Amazon employees are not eligible to be delivery partners.

Becoming a delivery partner: How do I sign up? Simply tap the apply button to visit the Amazon Flex website and download the app today. After you download the Amazon Flex app, it will guide you step-by-step through the onboarding process. Once you have uploaded all required documents and passed your background check, you can start delivering smiles, backed by Amazon! 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.

Letter preview — tailored to Amazon Flex

Dear Hiring Manager,

Amazon Flex's model of flexible, app-managed delivery blocks is precisely the kind of autonomous work arrangement I have been seeking — which is why I am applying to become a delivery partner in Plymouth. I hold a valid UK driving licence, a mid-size vehicle, and have already arranged hire and reward insurance, meaning I meet every eligibility requirement and can begin delivering without delay.

My background in time-sensitive, independent work has sharpened my ability to manage routes efficiently and maintain reliability across varying schedules. I am comfortable using smartphone navigation tools and self-managing my workload to hit targets without direct supervision.

STAR answer examples

Model answers using the Situation-Task-Action-Result framework. Adapt to your own experience.

1Question

Tell me about a time you had to manage a tight schedule and deliver multiple tasks on time.

Situation: During a busy Christmas period, I was completing freelance errands across Plymouth city centre with 12 drop-offs scheduled in a 4-hour window. Task: I needed to sequence the stops efficiently to avoid backtracking and ensure every delivery landed on time. Action: I used Google Maps to pre-plan a circular route the night before, grouping stops by postcode and flagging two addresses with restricted parking so I could plan alternatives. I also set 20-minute interval reminders on my phone. Result: I completed all 12 drop-offs 25 minutes ahead of schedule, received positive feedback from 3 recipients, and was asked to cover additional shifts the following week.
2Question

Describe a situation where you had to work independently without supervision — how did you stay on track?

Situation: I spent 4 months working as a self-employed handyman across 5 regular domestic clients in Devon, with no line manager or daily check-ins. Task: I had to manage my own diary, materials procurement, and quality control entirely independently. Action: I built a simple weekly planner in Google Sheets, tracked job completion times, and set a personal rule to confirm each appointment 24 hours in advance. I also kept a small toolkit inventory to avoid wasted journeys. Result: I maintained a 100% appointment attendance rate across 60+ jobs, grew referral bookings by 30% over the period, and received a 5-star average rating from all 5 clients.
