Why wouldn't I do this?

You already can if you own a van. Just download the flex app.

Yea but you can't earn 100000 plus a year and then sell the business

They claim its only 10k to get in but that to me sounds like an outright lie. Even with all the discounts on van leases its gonna take more than 10k to get that kind of operation going.

Who’s gonna buy the pleasure of being amazons bitch off you for a million dollars?

Yea I think the 10k only gets you the right to be a "DSP" which is pretty much the right to deliver Amazon packages on a certain route or routes in your area.

>What are a DSP's responsibilities?
>A DSP has to set up the business, recruit and retain drivers, deliver up to 20 to 40 routes a day and serve customers. A DSP is also responsible for motivating his team. Among the other details a DSP has to handle:

>Order vehicles, devices, fuel cards and uniforms through Amazon's recommended vendors and negotiated rates. DSP also has to get motor carrier operating authority and vehicle insurance before delivering packages.
>Set up various services for drug testing, background check, payroll, accounting and human resources including employee handbook, pay rates and health benefits. These services will be ongoing expenses.
>Use DSP Portal for tax review, business documents and banking details.
>Vet and interview first drivers as well as set up area within local delivery station to learn how to load vehicles and tweak processes.
>Train drivers as vehicles, fuel cards and uniforms arrive. Expectations are first week companies will deliver five routes a day.
>Meet performance levels. DSP business owners are expected to meet with Amazon reps and account manager in order to add 5 more routes in week 5, 9 and 11. The goal is to hit 20 or more routes after three months.

So start up costs is gonna be a whole lot more than $10k in addition to having to running the business/books and answering to your corporate overlords at Amazon when you don't meet their "performance standards"

Thanks for posting this, user. Pretty much exactly what I've been looking for. My strengths are operational and managerial, and I have been short on actual business ideas. Been contemplating buying a business because I'm very confident I can run one, but having Amazon's support seems like a no brainer. Just signed up.

keep us posted

I have a 100k cash. Could i do this? Also can someone tell me exactly what to do? Asking for a few friends

This seems like how Uber got a bunch of people to buy expensive suvs so they can drive for black car and make x amount. Then it got saturated and people were stuck with $60k trucks that guzzle gas.

>Why wouldn't I do this for 5 years.
>I have a 100k cash. Could i do this?

Guys did you read anything?
It said if you have 100 employees you could make about 300k in profit. That is totally absurd. Managing 100 employees for only 300k is ridiculous on every level.

The reality is Amazon is hoping suckers will do this to reduce their shipping costs.
Look at the cost of these drivers. Let us just say they make 50k a year driving. So they are going to make 1/6 of what I do having 100 people. Crazy!

If it was earning 250,000 a year you recover your investment 4 years later, hold for years sell again. However others have mentioned more capital is needed than just 10k...

I'd join ya

>The reality is Amazon is hoping suckers will do this to reduce their shipping costs.
Bingo
Amazon isn't gonna sign exclusive deals with you for deliveries over an area/ time period. They want to flood the market with more delivery companies and drive down the cost (meaning the companies themselves eat the costs).

But wouldn't doing this now be profitable for like 4 years since amazon will likely keep it propped up to fuck over UPS/FedEx?

Yeah you need 40 vans and 100 employees to make a profit of 300k. Note: no guarantee of this "profit", just use taking Amazon's word for it. With 100 employees what happens if one of them beats up a customer or worse yet rapes one. Too much risk, for not enough reward.

Well you aren't getting a long term contract. Amazon can dump you whenever they want.
