Amazon Sued for Excluding DC Areas from Prime Fast Delivery

The District of Columbia has sued Amazon, alleging that the company provides slower Prime delivery services to low-income neighborhoods, specifically zip codes 20019 and 20020, where packages take up to a week to arrive. Amazon attributes the delays to safety concerns for its drivers due to increased crime in these areas, leading to a reliance on slower third-party delivery services. The lawsuit claims this practice is discriminatory and deceptive, as residents pay the same Prime membership fees but receive inferior service.
