8. Package Delivery
Amazon Flex, Sendle, and courier services offer package delivery work that’s often more predictable than food delivery. You’ll deliver packages during specific time blocks with optimised routes.
Many drivers prefer packages to food because there’s no temperature concerns or dining experience pressure. The work can be physical (lifting packages up to 23kg) but provides decent exercise as a bonus.
Routes are usually planned for efficiency, meaning less time driving between deliveries and more actual earning time. Some positions offer regular routes with consistent weekly income.
What you can earn: $18-$30 per hour
Time you’ll spend: 10-35 hours per week
How to start: Apply directly through courier apps. Maintain a clean driving record and reliable vehicle. Some roles require ability to lift heavier packages.
Insider tip: Drivers who secure regular business routes earn consistent weekly income rather than depending on daily job availability.
