I would assume and wear and tear can be used as tax deductibles ?
Nice video and informative description appreciate it
Hi mate,so how much you spend for diesel or petrol per shift?
After a while the wear and tear on your motor is a massive dent in your income, unless your earning 5 to 600 a week its a dodgy game.
Can someone help.. I know this is old video but I’m trying to sign up but says I need commercial insurance. Went to go with inshur but they said I needed to be fully onboarded with Amazon. Catch 22 please can I get help
I'm looking into doing amazon flex , who is the best insurance for hire and reward insurance as I don't understand it ?
Hi mate
Did you actually asked your insurer to add a business cover to your policy rather than add hire and reward to your existing policy?
hi @tommy I have my first amazon flex today. I am nervous. What do i need to take with me, will they give me a reflective jacket etc
I do flex but only 2 or 3 times a month. I find it pretty easy, it works well for me as my depot is 4 mins from my house, I have an ev which I can charge for free at my main job so I have no fuel costs. I’ve been lucky that the routes I have had have been close to the depot so mileage & wear & tear minimal & my husband is a mechanic! I think it really depends on the type of car you have & the running costs associated and how far you are from the depot. I tend to take the shorter blocks these are usually the less mileage the time they stipulate is correct I have never gone over in fact I usually finish before the end time. It will not work for everyone but if you need a bit of extra cash every now and then it can be good way to earn some cash.
Hi, I was going through your spreadsheet and I don’t understand where you are getting your mileage expense number from, according to HMRC mileage expense is 45p per mile but yours is working out less than half that.
I do it for a bit of extra money in between my day job. Some blocks in the inner cities are a pain in the back side. GPS won’t work properly and you’ll get parking fines galore.
I live in a rural area and you do more miles but usually easier block.
Best blocks are suburban runs 3.5-4.0 hours 35-45 parcels in that time easy if you’re not dragging your feet.
So, are you paid based on the amount you take? Or the shift you work? Because 30 packets wouldn't take anyone 3.5 hours to deliver, unless the area you're covering is huge (I used to be a Postman for 5 years so I'm just curious)
Thank you so much for this! Very helpful – especially that download. Much appreciated.
Thank you Tommy for the video
What type of car can I use?
It’s actually not bad money if you don’t pay tax 😂
Newport accent?
watched your video, then i went and got hire and reward insurance and applied. now on the waiting list, how long do you think i'll have to wait? Thank you.
Is it a hassle ?
the £88 you mentioned is for 6 hours work + your commute time?
I’m seriously considering doing this myself. This has been really insightful and I’m going to apply now in the hope I can start before Xmas.
@6.22 – £88.90 over 2 shifts ..then you take off fuel, or you did that already, and its £88.90 is with that taken off already?
hi say you are holding down 1 main job
i used to have a main job they said i can't do any side job's in the end they payed me of i just payed for my home right out
they were looking to get rid of workers
if you lose the main job and go on uc like i did they check you how big time
there are alot now on uc doing this they told me get one thing i had to leave old job because i came a care worker for mum
so if you need to care for some one this is ace DANGER THE UC will check all in and out 100%
i was on ace money big time the body wears out and alot of work places can be right funny
I have been thinking of doing this mate so timely vid. Some of the comments on here have been a tad off, but suppose you'll get use to that making vids. Any good tips on best insurance company for this type of work?
I work as one of the external drivers. We earn around £170-£190 per day, and we also get a van for personal use, you can do up to six days a week if we want it. The workload can vary a lot some days you’ll have around 140 stops, other days it can shoot up to nearly 200. Some routes are absolutely brutal, while others are surprisingly easy.
Overall, it’s a fairly brain-dead job, but once you get into a good rhythm, it’s really not that bad. I also live only about four minutes from my depot, which makes the job so much easier. I’ve been considering the Flex for a while, so this was an interesting video to watch. Good to hear your thoughts on it.
1.) do you need special insurance if you only do 1-2 days a week!
2.) Do you still pay tax if you do part time? How does tax works if you do a full time job and few days flex?
