Experts Weigh On Amazon Flex Going Global

Amazon Flex is a program from Amazon that lets you deliver Amazon packages to other people using your own cars. Meanwhile, the delivery partners earn extra income by delivering packages according to a flexible schedule.

“It’s simple: You use your own vehicle to deliver packages for Amazon as a way of earning extra money to move you closer to your goals,” the Amazon Flex official website said.

First, you reserve a block, then you make deliveries and get paid. Repeat the process. However, right now, Amazon Flex is only operating in nine countries, including the United States. These are Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, India, Singapore, Japan, and Australia.

Amazon Flex in India

In India, the Amazon Flex program is creating tens of thousands of job opportunities for people to earn extra income during their free time. It provides the opportunity for members of this program to be their own boss, create their own schedule, and earn between INR 120 to 140 per hour by delivering packages on Amazon’s behalf.

Right now, Amazon Flex India serves Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and more.

Amazon Flex in Japan

In Japan, Amazon Flex is also booming. It started small in some areas in Tokyo, but is now operating nationwide, according to news outlets. It offers participants the opportunity to earn up to 1,886 yen for about an hour of delivery and up 94,300 yen for delivering for a week.

Can Amazon Flex go global?

So far, the scope of Amazon Flex is very limited. Can Amazon Flex go global? Here are some promising markets for the platform:

  • China - The presence of Amazon Flex in China holds vast promise because of the booming eCommerce market of this East Asian nation, as well as the high demand for fast and reliable delivery. More so, with the gig economy business model of Amazon Flex, local drivers and ordinary people can earn a decent income while fulfilling the growing need for last-mile delivery. Therefore, this approach can provide Amazon with a competitive edge in China’s bustling cities where efficient logistics is needed. In addition, leveraging Amazon Flex also helps the platform tap into regions underserved by traditional delivery networks. Of course, the integration with China’s advanced digital payment systems and adapting to local preferences are also promising areas to explore.
  • Peru - In Peru, the growth of the eCommerce sector is also unprecedented. Most of Peru is also digital now. Its diverse geography may pose significant challenges in logistics, which is why Amazon Flex’s flexible delivery model is a fantastic solution for efficient last-mile delivery. Drivers are empowered to earn income in their own time and space while Amazon creates opportunities for them. With Amazon Flex in Peru, urban and rural areas can ever be more connected, enhancing customer satisfaction and boosting eCommerce growth.
