    Take this with you

    Dated, pre-fillable checklist + your details — ready to show a rep or solicitor.

    In the next hour

    • If you got a deactivation email, read it carefully. It will usually list reasons (repeated delivery issues, late returns, policy violations) and give you about 10 days to respond.
    • Screenshot the email and your current standing. Save the email, do not just leave it sitting in Gmail where a filter could hide it.
    • Export your own evidence: GPS phone logs for the disputed routes, delivery photos you took, depot scan times, any screenshots of Flex app outages.
    • Do not panic-post in the UK Facebook group or buy appeal service gimmicks advertised on TikTok.

    In the next week

    • Reply to the termination email through the Flex support route. Keep it short (around 300 words): thank Amazon, summarise your standing history, name the specific issues, accept fault where genuine, apologise, explain what you have changed, list evidence attached.
    • Attach GPS logs and delivery photos for any missing parcel claim. Attach depot scan times for any late return claim.
    • If you get a template refusal or no reply, escalate with the same structured email to jeff@amazon.co.uk. UK drivers report this occasionally surfaces a human.
    • Note the termination date and set a reminder for 80 days. ACAS conciliation deadline is 3 months minus one day if you want to test a worker-status or discrimination argument.
