The District of Columbia sued Amazon on Wednesday, alleging the company secretly stopped providing its fastest delivery service to residents of two predominantly Black neighborhoods while still charging millions of dollars for a membership that promises the benefit.
The complaint filed in District of Columbia Superior Court revolves around Amazon’s Prime membership, which costs consumers $139 per year or $14.99 per month for fast deliveries — including one-day, two-day and same-day shipments — along with other enhancements.
In mid-2022, the lawsuit alleges, the Seattle-based online retailer imposed what it called a delivery “exclusion” on two low-income ZIP codes in the district — 20019 and 20020 — and began relying exclusively on third-party delivery services such as UPS and the U.S. Postal Service, rather than its own delivery systems.
I may have read it wrong but my understanding was Amazon pulled back their own drivers from those zipcodes and delegated their packages to other carriers
Yeah, I didn’t read and I should have.
Should’ve spent more time with my kid instead of the computer.
I’m sorry… are you saying I’m not parenting my child? Because I posted that yesterday in the morning. You know, when kids are doing school?

Cool. Reported for trolling and harassment.
And yes, I know I have no self-worth, you don’t have to tell me. Also, if you think I can manipulate anyone anywhere ever, you think more of my worth than I do.
And if you want my name, address and phone, DM me and you’ll be welcome to harass/attack/kill me in person. Just give me time to get the rest of my family out of the house before you do what I definitely deserve. Thanks.
Edit: Actually, only the third. You’ve got to promise the third or I won’t give it to you. Alternately, just wait four years and I will be doing it myself. That’s the plan anyway.

Cool, now you just insulted a 14-year-old lesbian. Good for you on being a queerphobic bigot.
Oh, wow. While we have so much in common, I don’t judge and alienate people so quickly. I definitely wouldn’t call in a favor from moderator just because I’ve something in common with someone.
