One of the conditions to receive the $10,000 package for the business startup is that the shipping is done in partnership with Amazon and no one else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzGa 14,654 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 You can't be an independent business if you only have a single client. Then, by definition, you are dependent on your client and therefore should be considered an employee. That's why Amazon screws these "BIZNESS OANERS!!" over with goofy promises of "FREEDUMB!! OAN UR OWN BIZNISS! NO BAUS!" If you do all of your business for a single company, in my opinion, you should be legally considered an employee of that company and it is that company's obligation to take care of its employees. This deal offers no advantage to the "business" "owners" and only voids Amazon of all responsibility to their employees, by making them not-employees but "business" "owners" who aren't even free to pursue other clients. What a scam. Classic "freelance" trap.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I did shipping for Amazon once and only once. I ended up in a neighborhood that I wouldn't drive into willingly. Taking it to an apartment which I can only describe as terrifying not a minute after I delivered the package which required a signature two cop cars pulled up to the same building. It was litterally the projects. The amount of packages they give you to deliver vs. the time is not enough. I found myself speeding. You have to organize the packages in your car which is time consuming at the start of your drive. You have to call them if there is a problem with delivery, which is time consuming. Some places don't have a safe place to park your car or company vehicle. Which can be nerve racking. I thought this would be a great business for me because I have my own money to invest.

That's not terrible actually. I can help pay for like 20% of a van is need to deliver stuff. Free money is free money Also in sure they only need so many partnerships.

What a scam. Classic "freelance" trap. I also agree... Especially if the contract of having to work with them is for a long time or even forever If i was gonna start my business like that... Might be better off getting the loan from the bank cuz then at least we can do business with whoever we want without restrictions And banks are still among the most trustworthy Corporations there are even tho I know there's a lot of hate for them Banks just wanna make their interest and collect their payments back. They don't generally go out of their way to try to screw over their customers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
