DC Sues Amazon Over Alleged Secret Slowdowns of Deliveries in Predominantly Black ZIP Codes
The District of Columbia is suing Amazon for allegedly withholding its fastest Prime delivery service from two predominantly Black, low-income ZIP codes while continuing to charge for the promised service. The lawsuit claims Amazon deceptively concealed this change, citing driver safety concerns as justification, despite a significant drop in two-day delivery rates compared to other areas. The city seeks restitution for affected Prime members and an injunction against Amazon’s alleged unfair and deceptive practices. This follows previous accusations of discriminatory delivery practices by Amazon.
