Pros

flexible. can work just 3 hours a week.

Cons

Scheduled to deliver 55 packages in a 3 hour block. Took 30 min. + to get loaded and out of warehouse. Wasn't allowed to leave when finished. Had to wait for car in front of me to leave and he missed scanning a box or envelope. Frustrating! Took 20+ min to drive to first delivery. So was scheduled 55 deliveries in about 2 hours. Ridiculous. Returned a few at the end after not being able to deliver one box to a closed business. Would have to drive back to warehouse anyways for that one. So scrapped it. Not worth driving around 60 minutes plus working for "free". Not paid to drive back to warehouse, taking time to explain what happened (phone support told me to return the others I hadn't finished as well). And then got extras out of vehicle. Time is money people. NOT recommended. Good job if you are bored and want to make some money rather than walking around a mall spending money, or shopping online or just want to get out of your house. This is not a well run situation by amazon. Shame on them for taking advantage of drivers and advertising it's paid well (better than it is).

Pros

Lots of routes available to drive using your own vehicle, both in early morning and in the evenings. Get paid the same day that you drive. Routes are usually pretty tight so you're not doing a lot of long distances between stops.

Cons

Low pay for the amount of miles you'll have to drive. You may average about 20-25 an hour, depending on how long of a block you sign up for. But you'll end up spending at least 1.5 hours pay to put back into your gas tank. You can't choose the area you want to drive in, it's chosen randomly for you. So you could be clear across five counties from the starting point.
