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.
Free signup, no card needed. Export to PDF/Word requires a £1.99 trial (14 days).
