Driving For Amazon – What Are The Options?

Amazon offers a wide range of delivery job opportunities across the UK through two main routes: Amazon Flex and Amazon DSP. Whether you’re looking for flexible part-time work or a full-time multi-drop role, there’s something to suit different lifestyles and levels of commitment.

Amazon Flex allows you to use your own vehicle — usually a car — to deliver Amazon parcels or groceries on a flexible schedule. It’s a popular side hustle for those wanting to earn extra income without being tied to set hours. You can book shifts, called “blocks”, via the Amazon Flex app, and earnings are paid weekly. Work often involves delivering small parcels from Amazon depots, or larger grocery orders from Amazon Fresh and Morrisons — sometimes including bottled drinks and heavy shopping bags. It’s a great option if you value independence and want to fit work around other responsibilities.

Amazon DSP (Delivery Service Partner) roles are more full-on. These are full-time, self-employed positions where you drive a branded van for a subcontractor working on behalf of Amazon. You’ll be expected to cover large routes — sometimes over 180 stops and up to 300 parcels a day — with early starts and strict time windows. It’s physically demanding, often involving walking, lifting, and tight delivery schedules, but offers a consistent workload and can be a good fit for those seeking a regular income without the overhead of running their own business.

Whether you’re interested in working a few evenings a week or want to commit to full-time van driving, Amazon Flex and DSP roles offer two very different ways to earn — both with growing demand in towns and cities across the UK.
