Amazon Flex and DoorDash are gig-economy services that hire independent contractors or drivers to deliver items and get paid. To switch or start a career with any of these services, it is essential to know how they operate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For starters, it is safe to say Amazon Flex is slightly rigid compared to DoorDash. However, unlike DoorDash, it allows its drivers to know how much they will earn before completing a delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guide covers these differences and will help you decide which service to join. You will also discover if you can work for both services and how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amazon Flex pays its drivers to pick up packages from Amazon warehouses and deliver them to customers promptly. After becoming a driver, you must set your availability by selecting the time and days you will be available to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During your active hours, Amazon expects you to select a few blocks on the app and complete them. You can choose blocks from Amazon, Amazon Fresh, and Amazon Prime, to name a few. These blocks will include the location, estimated duration, and payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This service is available in almost all the cities in the U.S. and other countries like the U.K. Germany, Japan, and Singapore to individuals 21 years or older.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DoorDash pays its drivers (Dashers) to deliver food and groceries from different restaurants and grocery stores to customers. After becoming a Dasher, delivery requests will start appearing on the Dasher app based on your service area and delivery radius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike Amazon Flex, which has a stable presence of delivery blocks, Dashers get offers on an on-demand basis. They also have to decide quickly when an offer appears on their screen. Every request will only feature locations, your base pay, and surcharges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elements such as how much tip was included in the delivery request won’t be revealed. However, Dashers are not bothered because they know how to estimate it<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, you must be 18 or older to become a Dasher and deliver food in North America, Canada, and Australia. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAmazon Flex Vs.
