Different lines of work have different challenges one has to deal with. If you work in retail or customer service, you’ll have to deal with all kinds of clients. If you work in the field of media and content creation, like myself, you’ll have to deal with creative blocks. If you work in the post and delivery industry, one of your biggest challenges is probably going to be speed. Customers want their products delivered as soon as possible most of the time and companies want to deliver on their promise of being capable of doing so, which is completely understandable. After all, they are being paid for quick and reliable delivery.
Most people, however, won’t know what happens behind the scenes when it comes to delivering parcels and packages. A TikTok user who goes by the handle “revengekkid” is an Amazon delivery driver. On his TikTok account, he decided to share the things he wishes he knew before starting work at the company. One of his videos went viral, gathering 28.9k likes and over 700 comments at the time of writing. Scroll down for the whole story and consider leaving a comment!

This Amazon delivery worker decided to share things he wishes he knew before starting the job, and he delivered

Even though job listings and company employees who interview you provide a lot of information about the position most of the time, the reality of the job you actually have to face is usually at least a bit different. And that’s not even necessarily a bad thing, as this is how things in life usually work—your expectations don’t always match the reality of something. However, when it comes to work, it would be great to know as much as possible before starting out. This Amazon delivery driver would probably agree.
The delivery driver shares that he barely has any time for breaks if he wants to finish the job, has to run a lot and sometimes works without air conditioning

When a job doesn’t meet your expectations, it can be more difficult to handle, especially when things don’t exactly go according to what your employer informed you of beforehand. In the case of this delivery driver, it sounds rather unfair that he was promised break time, when in reality he has to meet strict deadlines that don’t actually allow for relaxing breaks. In fact, he says that he has to at least jog most of the time when making deliveries, skip breaks and he also says he’s lucky if he gets a delivery van with air conditioning, which is crucial for his work in the summertime.

Apartments, assisting colleagues when you’re done with your work already and group stops are some of the extra troubles the driver has to go through

Most jobs have some more intense aspects about them, but it seems that being a delivery driver is all about rushing. As the TikTok user shares his side of what working as an Amazon delivery driver is like, you can get an impression that it all is indeed about speed, whilst still managing to get the deliveries right. His story may also evoke respect for delivery drivers in general. They work tirelessly, quickly, and still manage to deliver packages to the right places and on time.

You definitely have to give some credit to delivery drivers, considering a lot of things can go wrong on their side, yet they still successfully deliver the packages
Image credits: revengekkid
It seems that a lot of extra trouble delivery drivers have to go through stems from miscommunication on the customers’ side. People should definitely pay more attention when putting in relevant information for their deliveries, because that helps out the drivers a lot, and you get your package delivered to the right place and on time. Technical errors surrounding the garage deliveries don’t sound like a great time either, knowing the drivers are constantly in a rush.
Image credits: revengekkid
It appears that a lot of people not only misunderstand how difficult this job is, but they don’t also care much about delivery drivers
Image credits: revengekkid
Arguably one of the sadder parts of this story is when the delivery driver shares how he feels that other people don’t care about deliver drivers at all. He says he has pretty much never been offered some water or had someone inquire about his wellbeing during deliveries. Garage deliveries once again make an appearance, and it seems that they are something that hinders the drivers’ performance.
Considering the things delivery drivers have to go through, they truly are some of our unsung heroes

The insights the delivery driver provides paint a picture which shows that being a delivery driver is in fact a very tough job, which makes them deal with a lot of things and not just driving around and putting packages all over the place. Perhaps his insights will help people appreciate delivery drivers more, and a lot of them certainly deserve the praise for making our lives easier.

For #12 of his complaints, I have to disagree. I order pet food online because the stores in Albuquerque don't re-stock properly/in time, I can keep going back to the same store over a 2week period and the food still hasn't been ordered in. Noticed this in most stores, they're cutting down on what they stock/how much they reorder. Everything is moving towards delivery instead of store pickup as it's cheaper for the company to dispatch the item from a warehouse than truck a buttload of them to the store. I understand the package is heavy for the delivery person, which absolutely sucks, but this is the way everything is going.
Pet food right now is a nightmare to get in the supermarkets. Chewy is the only option and while cat food and especially litter can be annoying to deliver, please know that it is one of the only ways we can get pet food.

The way Amazon treats it's workers while making record profits is gross. And then they aggressively union bust so workers can't organize for better conditions.
You do understand these drivers make Great Money for the time spent! Burnout is the big reason for turnover! The rush days are seasonal!

I an disabled and often housebound, I order almost everything I need from Amazon. I live in a secure where you have to use the intercom to be buzzed in. I have lived explicit delivery instructions: use the front entrance of the building (landmarks given) I live on floor number 1, and deliver to my front door. I have a Ring doorbell and camera, so even if I'm not home I can always answer the call. If they buzz my flat, and I'm not in (very rarely) or I can't get to the intercom in time, call my phone (number provided) or buzz my partner's flat because that's where I'll usually be if I'm not home. I always try to keep track of deliveries using the app so I can know an estimated time of arrival. I'm always grateful to the delivery drivers and friendly and summer always offer them a cold drink, or even an ice cream. The number of times I've heard packages left outside the building in one of the public areas or with one of the other neighbours who steals my packages.... I have lost count. If I could get everything I wanted from another company I would, on principle, but my options are limited. Sometimes my packages are very heavy and I am very grateful that they carry them up to my flat because I can not. (- there is a lift/elevator)
Exactly, thanks. Peopel gives us s**t for ordering online but many dont really have other option. We dont have ANY store in this village except a bakery. The groceries are 3km away but they have a parking so if i am not too sick i can go. But for things like dog products, clothes, books, electronics... I cant walk around town shopping, i am too ill for that. Oine delivery is the only option. I was months using bad glasses because the glasses store next town is too far away from the parking and i couldnt walk that far without tons of pain. Nobody thinks about disabled people. I needed to spend a fortune (thanks "social" government for never helping) to get a scooter because belgium doesnt give disabled parking cards to almost anybody so its impossible to park in the middle of the town and i needed to walk to get everywhere (doctor, city hall, bank...).

You know who orders dog food? Me a person in a wheelchair that cannot drive to the store and haul the bag from my trunk to my home
I appreciate hearing from people who tell it like it is so people can be a little more aware of what they can do to help.
I have garage delivery because I live in a townhome complex, and Amazon drivers (usually only the contract drivers using their own vehicles) would CONSTANTLY deliver to the wrong house, it was ridiculous, I could never get my orders on time. Now that I have garage access, it's 100%. Plus I have a snack stand inside the garage with Mt Dew, Gatorade, protein bars, water, and sometimes chips or trail mix. I put a lot into it and I'm actually bummed when they don't take anything lol
Not being facetious here, do you leave a note saying take some?

It's funny how people are now just talking about this I drove AM dropping business in the morning and residential in the afternoon for UPS for a few years. We never had AC and to scan drop and be in our truck in 30 seconds flat no ifs and buts. Some places didn't have a dock so we had to bring it through the door with customers in the way looking at you instead of moving out of the way
Meanwhile, I always ask if they need more water when it is hot, offer ice-cream and let then know they are always welcome to use the toilet. These people get paid way to little, work far to hard, and are treated like absolute s**t. So let's balance that out by being normal humanbeings, offering the littlest you can possibly offer.
If you were paid $428,000 per hour, 24 hours per day, starting the day you were born, it would take you 50 years to accumulate Steve Bezos net worth.
My USPS job was very much like that. Worked it for almost 30 years. If you wanted to get done on time you jogged, gave up lunch and breaks and only used the bathroom before you left for the street and when you got back to office, approximately 6 to 8 hours. The regular trucks register over 120 degrees in the summer because there is only a thin sheet of metal between your feet and the engine. Christmas time is definitely worse. The volume of mail and parcels had you delivering after dark and going back to the office to get more. I’m just glad I didn’t run over anybody or their pets. Not every Post Office was that bad but most were in the 1980’s, 90’s, etc. In spite of all that I did like my job and my customers.
USPS is terrible! My husband worked there for a while sorting parcels. Work hours are horrendous and is the treatment employees get. I made him leave that job, it was emotionally draining him.

I once asked an Amazon delivery drivee if he wanted a bottled water since it was hot out. He told me to mind my own business.
You applied for a package delivery job, but didn't know there would be heavy lifting? I have a bone tumor at the base of my spine and 6 metal bars and 12 very large screws holding me upright. I'll keep ordering my dog food to be delivered to my home.
I mean, I guess it sucks to be on a van all day but why would you be expecting the customer to offer you water or whatever, like why are you gonna be taking anything from a stranger? And about dog food, it can be said about anything else "don't buy X thing because the package will be ruined" then ask stores not to sell that stuff online, it's not the customer's fault
#11 I have literally never seen the delivery driver. Most times I don't get even a knock. I get an email asking if my delivery was good. What delivery? Oh the one from half an hour ago I didn't know about... If I'm lucky it's actually by the door not actively blocking the storm door.
FedEx blocked us in our house one time. I had to use the side door. Not a big deal, but come on I left instructions to put it on the enclosed porch.

I couldn't work out the meaning of #12, I thought people were asking him to feed/water their dogs when the package arrived which is obviously not his job but then I realise he's just whining about lifting something moderately heavy. He needs to grow a pair or get a desk job.
Wow I’m glad I gave my regular a joint and some BWS vouchers for Xmas in 2017 now she was awesome though 😂 (I haven’t had stable accommodation since then hence I haven’t done it since).
All the comments from people justifying why they use Amazon, that's not what this is about. It's about the working conditions which are terrible.
Read it again. The OP literally made comments about people ordering dog food and cases of bottled water from Amazon telling them to go out and get it!
Load More Replies... I'd offer delivery people a cold drink IF THEY RANG THE D*MN DOORBELL, but most (and Amazon, always) just drop the package on the porch and leave. The package sits outside, vulnerable to porch pirates, until I check my email and see a delivery notification. If they would ring that handy-dandy doorbell, I would get my package immediately and they would get gestures of my appreciation.
It is a job. If you do not like it, you can always quit. You were hired to deliver packages and things happen. I was a courier driver for a few years, similar to package delivery. This guy sounds like he had a bad attitude from the start.
I've got dog food on auto delivery from Amazon and I'll never buy it in store again 🤷🏼♀️ I haven't set foot in a grocery store since 2020 and I don't intend to go back now.
Yea that's a tuff place to work for stay with it keep applying at UPS or fed ex. Any place that does delivery knows Amazon a hell hole. Or a lot of other places. There are good driving jobs out there. The fact you are capable of doing this will reward you later . Stay as long as its takes to get into a decent place. Obey the laws dont get tickets dont cause property damage or accident. And be reliable. Being able to function in hell effectively . makes you valuable. I myself make a good wage for non cdl delivery of meats to restaurants. Most days I work less than 7 hours a day sometimes less dedicated route. And got free asian food. This ain't a bad gig and if you can get yourself into UPS with a decent reference from amazon . your golden!! Good luck. To ya
I agree with all of them except people always thank me and ask me if I need water. Or they leave snacks for delivery drivers. They also don't tell you you have to pee in the van because you are no where close to a bathroom. Also the wear and tear on your body. We all have fallen twisted our ankles slipped on ice tripped on cracks.
This comes across as very childish. I definitely agree that amazon is an awful employer & really needs to do a drastic overhaul on their work/quota requirements. They also need to quit catering to every customer who thinks their order should magically appear within 24 hours - I plan ahead & get my necessities before I run out. This brat also needs to remember that there are hundreds/thousands of people with disabilities who CANNOT just hop in the car & run to the stores every other day. Plus the way the supply chain is operating now, it can be impossible to find everything one needs locally so we are locked in to ordering necessities & having them delivered. This boy needs to grow TF up.
I had a plastic tote with snacks and drinks on the porch during the holiday season. None of the delivery drivers took anything. I even attached a little note. And I'm going to keep ordering pet food online because the stores are often sold out.
I'm sorry that they are treated so badly, that is unfair and I wish something was done about it. As far as dog food.....a farm with an elderly dog can be up a 90 minutes drive away to get the right food. If Amazon offers it - we are allowed to order it period. As far as water goes...I never even SEE the Amazon guy. I work from home. I go to the door when I hear something and he's driving away. How am I supposed to offer him water or ask about his day? You can ask the people who shovel, mow, edge, have installed fence and treated my lawn - I always have drink and refreshment to offer. If I see they aren't taking lunch - I share mine with them. I (as well as others I've seen) leave treats and refreshment out in the holiday season. I guess I shouldn't take it personally but I don't understand HOW people are supposed to offer these things when they have to leave so fast. Chase him down?
I remember ordering two 18K boxes of litter from Amazon. For some reason totally inane to me, they sent them Canada Post, who then jammed them into my parcel section of the mailbox a block away. I'm 71. I can barely walk to the postbox, and they expected me to lug two huge and supremely heavy boxes of litter back to my house. Idiots. I think I got through to them. They now deliver them to my door.
Disagree with pet food and water, tbh. Our dogs are on medicated diets and they are almost impossible to find here. And those of us with physical disabilities literally cannot carry water through a store into a car, out of a car, and into the house. Just getting it inside the house is painful enough.
Ya know there is not a goddamned thing I need the same day or the next day. OR even two days later. This forcing them to deliver 250 packages a day so Bozos can take a 20 million dollar space flight is ridiculous. I rarely use Amazon. I am not in that big of a hurry and anyone who says they are needs to get a life of go to the nearest story and buy it yourself. THERE is a reason they are called AMAZON SERFS.
We always get our driver's name and address him by it (simple sign of respect). We know they're pushed to the limit, so we don't waste a lot of time on chit chat, but I always offer a beverage & once gave "Dave" the sandwich I had just made for myself because it was almost 3:00 and he hadn't had any lunch yet. Drivers are human beings, too!
you know there are other jobs out there in fact there seem to be MANY job openings everywhere so get another job. As a customer, a business owner (4 different businesses), employer, Boss etc....what I see is people that don't know how to work...I never ask my people to do something that I couldn't do myself. Just by the language that these kids use would get you fired in any decent place..if you don't have enough respect for yourselves then how canyou respect anyone else...
I attempted to give water to a delivery driver who was loading a locker outside of 7 Eleven. I bought him water came out tried to hand it to him while I waited to retrieve my package from the locker but he said he couldn't take it, that he would get in trouble with Amazon and lose his job. I just assumed this was work policy and never did it again. I didn't want them to get into trouble. We were in pre pandemic at the time.
My husband and I are both disabled. I take care of up to 5 feral cats. Schlepping a big heavy bag of kitten chow can be a bit much for me.
Umm hello? Do your job or quit! Your job is to deliver, NOT question what people order. In fact, if they didn't order online guess what? YOU would NOT have a job. I order from Chewy.com in ADVANCE of what I need in pet (children) supplies. Why? Because of FREE shipping over $49 and better pricing than local. I order from Amazon when the deal is better, WHY? Because I'm a prime member so FREE shipping AND 5% cashback. Your job is to deliver, period, and NOT question what people order, EVER.
For #12 of his complaints, I have to disagree. I order pet food online because the stores in Albuquerque don't re-stock properly/in time, I can keep going back to the same store over a 2week period and the food still hasn't been ordered in.

I order from Chewy.com in ADVANCE of what I need in pet (children) supplies. Why? Because of FREE shipping over $49 and better pricing than local. I order from Amazon when the deal is better, WHY? Because I'm a prime member so FREE shipping AND 5% cashback. Your job is to deliver, period, and NOT question what people order, EVER.
