Washington, D.C., attorney general sues Amazon

Posted online

Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb has filed suit against Amazon, alleging the company excluded certain neighborhoods from Prime's high-speed delivery despite charging the same amount.

Brian Schwalb alleges in the lawsuit that Amazon stopped using its delivery trucks in two D.C. ZIP codes due to safety concerns in 2022. The suit alleges customers in those ZIP codes continued to be charged Prime's full membership program costs.

"Amazon is charging tens of thousands of hard-working Ward 7 and 8 residents for an expedited delivery service it promises but does not provide," Schwalb said in a statement. "While Amazon has every right to make operational changes, it cannot covertly decide that a dollar in one ZIP code is worth less than a dollar in another."
