What are the ways to become an Amazon delivery partner?
One person can deliver for Amazon in India in three ways: Amazon Flex, a job with a delivery service partner (DSP) company, or Amazon Hub Delivery if you own a shop. Amazon signs you up directly for Flex and Hub. For a DSP job, the DSP company hires you, not Amazon.
| Way in | Who it’s for | Who pays you | Where to apply |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amazon Flex | Anyone 18+ with a two-wheeler, three-wheeler or e-bike | Amazon, for each block | The Amazon Flex app |
| Job with a DSP | People who want a delivery job with one employer | The DSP company | The DSP company |
| Amazon Hub Delivery | Shop and business owners | Amazon, for each package delivered | Amazon Hub Delivery website |
How do I join Amazon Flex?
Download the Amazon Flex app from Google Play, sign in with an Amazon account and finish the steps in the app. Amazon’s Flex FAQ says you can usually start in 5–10 business days, once your background check is done.
- Check your city. You can only deliver where Flex operates.
- Download the Amazon Flex app on an Android phone. It’s separate from the Amazon shopping app.
- Sign in with your Amazon account, or create one. You can have only one Flex account.
- Answer the background check questions. Amazon’s verification partner checks things like your address, licence and any criminal record. This usually takes 2–5 business days.
- Choose your vehicle and delivery type: two-wheeler, three-wheeler or e-bike, then Amazon standard or Amazon Now.
- Choose a service area: where you’ll pick up and deliver parcels.
- Watch the training videos, then add your PAN and bank details.
- Book your first block from the offers screen and reach the pick-up point on time.
The two delivery types work differently:
| Amazon standard | Amazon Now | |
|---|---|---|
| Block length | 2–6 hours | Usually 4 hours |
| How it works | Collect all your parcels at an Amazon delivery station, then deliver them on one route | Deliver daily essentials up to 4 km away, and go back after each order |
The Amazon Flex app on Google Play is free and published by Amazon Mobile LLC, with 5 million+ downloads worldwide and a 4.4 rating.
What documents do I need to become an Amazon delivery partner?
For Amazon Flex you need a PAN card, a driving licence, your vehicle’s RC, insurance and pollution (PUC) certificates, and a savings or current bank account. PAN is compulsory: Amazon says you can’t deliver for Flex without one.
- E-bike: a battery e-bike needs an e-bike exemption certificate.
- Phone: Android 13 or newer, at least 3 GB RAM, a 5-megapixel camera, a 4,500 mAh battery, GPS and a SIM with calls and data. The FAQ also lists phone models that don’t work, so check yours before you sign up.
- Aadhaar isn’t on Amazon’s Flex list, but the background check does verify your address.
How much does an Amazon delivery partner earn?
The Amazon Flex site says most drivers earn up to ₹140 an hour. What you actually get depends on your city, how many deliveries are available, and other factors. Every block offer shows the estimated earnings and length before you accept it.
- Amazon Now blocks show an earnings range: a minimum pay for the block plus pay for each delivery. End a block early and your pay is cut to match.
- Payment goes to your bank as early as the next day, on the payment days you choose in the app.
- Tax: Amazon withholds 1% of weekly earnings. If you make ₹1,000 in a week, ₹990 reaches your account.
- Insurance: if you accept the insurance terms when you sign up, Amazon gives free accident cover (₹5 lakh for death or permanent disability) and hospital cover up to ₹1 lakh, only while you’re actively delivering. You still need third-party insurance on your vehicle.
For DSP jobs, the company that hires you sets the pay, and Amazon doesn’t publish it. Hub Delivery shops are paid for each package, once a month. We couldn’t find an official per-parcel rate for any Amazon delivery work in India, so we haven’t given one.
How do I get a job with an Amazon delivery service partner?
Apply to the delivery service partner (DSP) company itself, not to Amazon. Amazon’s DSP FAQ describes DSPs as local companies that deliver its parcels, and each one hires and trains its own delivery associates.
- Most DSP vehicles are bikes. A DSP can run a team of up to 70 people, with about a third on vans and two thirds on bikes.
- Ask how you’ll be hired. The DSP decides whether you’re an employee or a contractor.
- Vehicles: Amazon doesn’t provide them. For bike routes, any two-wheeler can be used.
- Uniform: not required, but you must wear the ID card and high-visibility jacket the DSP gives you.
Never pay anyone for a delivery job or an “Amazon ID”. Amazon warns Hub partners never to pay fees or deposits to people who claim to represent it, and the same goes for anyone selling Amazon jobs.

Can I deliver for Amazon from my shop or start a delivery franchise?
Yes, if you own a shop: Amazon Hub Delivery (earlier called “I Have Space”) pays local businesses to deliver Amazon parcels within 2–3 km of the shop. Running your own delivery company is a much bigger commitment.
Amazon Hub Delivery. You need a permanent business address, valid business documents and time to make local deliveries. Amazon asks for one ID (Aadhaar, driving licence, voter ID or passport), your PAN, and a store document or utility bill, plus a rental agreement if the shop is rented. It says there’s zero investment and no security deposit. You’re paid for each delivered package on the first working day of the next month, and you and enrolled staff get accident cover up to ₹5 lakh and medical cover up to ₹1 lakh.
Starting a DSP company. Amazon calls this a Delivery Service Partner, not a franchise. Its DSP FAQ says there’s no joining fee, start-up costs are ₹1.5–5 lakh, and you’ll need working capital on top. The owner must run daily operations, so it isn’t for part-timers or passive investors. Selection takes 2–6 weeks and openings are limited. Franchise websites quote other figures, so go by Amazon’s own pages.
Things to know before you start
- Your costs are yours. On Flex you use your own vehicle, so fuel, servicing and phone data come out of your earnings.
- It’s not a salaried job. Flex partners are independent contractors. Amazon calls Flex a way to earn extra or part-time income, and says blocks aren’t guaranteed.
- Missed blocks count against you. Cancel at least 45 minutes before a block starts. If your standing drops to “At Risk”, you may lose access to Flex.
- You carry cash and parcels. After each block, you must return undelivered parcels, the bag, the payment device and the cash you collected.
- Cut-offs and safety gear. Amazon.in parcels should be delivered by 9 pm (9:30 pm at the latest), and you must wear a helmet and closed shoes at the station.
