Amazon flex: the new delivery service arrives in Spain

Amazon lands in Spain with its Flex service, a system that allows self-employed workers to act as a delivery man. In this way, the company avoids having to hire and create a regular army of delivery men. A system similar to what companies like Deliveroo and Glovo currently have. The only thing necessary is a car, a smartphone and having some free hours.

The idea is that the autonomous distributors thus obtain additional income every month. In addition to improving the delivery rates of Amazon packages. It is the new plan of the company to face its enormous growth in Spain. The distributors will have to go to the assigned or closest logistics center to collect the packages. They will then have to take them to their destinations.

Through the application all activity is centralized. You will see the availability, you can see the delivery points and the packages are scanned. Amazon is currently looking for distributors in Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. Although it would not be surprising that in the coming months it will spread to more cities in Spain.

His promise of wanting to keep delivery times low, while attractive, is very demanding. So Amazon is looking for new ways to get a bigger and faster dealer fleet.
