So You Want to Be an Amazon Delivery Don (or Do�a): A Guide to Buying Your Own Route
Ever looked at that Amazon delivery van with envy? Dreamt of being your own boss, dodging traffic, and delivering packages like a gift-bearing superhero? Well, my friend, you might be onto something. But before you strap on your spandex and cape (safety first!), let's talk about acquiring your very own Amazon Prime delivery route.

Two Roads Diverge in a Yellow Vest: New or Established Routes?
There are two main paths to becoming a delivery mogul. You can be a pioneer, venturing forth with a brand new route offered by Amazon itself. This is the budget-friendly option, but be prepared to blaze a trail (metaphorically, because please adhere to all traffic laws).
Already established routes are another option. Think of it like buying a used bookstore – there's history, there's character (maybe a few rogue squirrels who like to take naps in packages), and hopefully, a healthy customer base (or rather, a customer base that desperately needs that new spatula). This route will likely cost more upfront, but you'll be buying into a (hopefully) profitable business.
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
Here's the TL;DR:
- New route: Less risk, potentially less income (until you build it up).
- Established route: More risk (financially), potentially more income (depending on the route).
Bonus tip: If you go the established route way, be sure to ask the seller why they're parting with their delivery empire. Are they moving to a llama farm in Patagonia? Retiring to a life of competitive pie-eating contests? Just make sure it's not because the route involves daily encounters with a particularly grumpy pack of geese.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.

So, you've picked your path. Now what? Here's your Amazon Delivery Starter Pack:
- A beastly (but fuel-efficient) van: This is your loyal steed, so choose wisely.
- Top-notch navigational skills: Unless you have a homing pigeon for a co-pilot, invest in a good GPS (and maybe a backup phone with maps, just in case).
- Superhuman stamina: Delivering packages is no walk in the park (unless it's literally a park on your route, then maybe take a leisurely stroll). Be prepared for some physical activity.
- An unflappable personality: You'll encounter all sorts on the delivery route – overzealous dogs, confused chickens, and maybe the occasional hangry customer. Patience is key.
- A killer playlist: Because even superheroes need a good soundtrack for battling rush hour traffic.
Remember: Safety first! Amazon provides training, but staying safe on the road is your ultimate responsibility.

Conquering the Amazon: The Application Process
Alright, you're prepped, you're pumped, you're ready to deliver like nobody's business. Now comes the application process. Buckle up, because there will be forms, and background checks, and more forms. But fear not, perseverance is your friend!
Here are some helpful hints:
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
- Polish your resume: Make it shine like a freshly-delivered stainless steel spatula.
- Ace the interview: Dress professionally (business on top, comfy shoes on the bottom – you'll be thanking us later).
- Channel your inner entrepreneur: Be prepared to talk business – show them you're in it for the long haul, not just the free Prime membership.
From Package Pusher to Delivery Dynasty: Welcome to the Biz
Congratulations, you've conquered Amazon (sort of)! Now you're a delivery entrepreneur, a captain of commerce, a bringer of online shopping dreams!
Remember:
- Customer service is king (or queen): A happy customer is a repeat customer, and repeat customers mean more deliveries (and more money for your pocket).
- Stay organized: Routes, schedules, packages – it can get overwhelming. Embrace the power of lists and a good filing system.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help: Amazon offers support for new Delivery Service Partners. Utilize it!
Owning an Amazon delivery route can be a rewarding adventure. So, put on your best delivery persona, crank up the tunes, and get ready to make Amazon history (and maybe a little bit of money along the way).
