Christmas deliveries took on a sporting twist when the tennis legend surprised Brisbane customers by appearing on their doorsteps as an Amazon Flex delivery partner with packages in hand. Taking her signature work ethic from centre court to suburban streets, Ash spent a day as an Amazon Flex delivery partner to experience first-hand the joy of delivering to customers’ doorsteps.
"With a young family keeping me on my toes, I'm often relying on at-home deliveries, especially over the holidays," Ash shares with her characteristic warm smile. "Getting behind the wheel as an Amazon Flex delivery partner has given me a whole new appreciation for these drivers who help make every day and the holidays special for so many Australian families like mine.”
Brisbane-based Amazon Flex delivery partner, Graham Henry, who showed Ash the ropes, says, "I started delivering with Amazon Flex because the flexibility allows me to get extra earnings around my family commitments – I can pick up delivery blocks when it suits me and know exactly what I'll earn upfront. Joining Ash on her deliveries and getting to see her experience firsthand how fulfilling it can be, was incredible. She brought the same focus and enthusiasm to delivering packages as she did to tennis!”
The day was filled with surprised reactions as customers opened their doors to find the beloved sports icon delivering their Amazon packages. "It was good fun to surprise a few customers," Ash says. "It really showed me how much joy these delivery partners bring to people's days, especially during the holiday season."
For those looking for additional earning opportunities, Amazon Flex enables everyday Australians an opportunity to deliver Amazon packages in their own vehicles when it suits them. Amazon Flex delivery partners can schedule delivery blocks up to a week in advance, knowing the amount they will earn for that block up front, and are paid weekly. Opportunities across the country vary based on region and vehicle type. To find out more, visit flex.amazon.com.au.
