DC Attorney General Sues Amazon Over Delivery Service Exclusions in Predominantly Black Areas
The District of Columbia sues Amazon for allegedly excluding two historically underserved ZIP codes from expedited delivery services.
Overview
Washington D.C.'s Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against Amazon, claiming the company covertly reduced delivery services in two predominantly Black ZIP codes while charging full Prime membership fees. Since mid-2022, residents in areas 20019 and 20020 experienced a drop in on-time deliveries from over 72% to nearly 25%. Amazon attributed the change to safety concerns for drivers, while officials argue it constitutes deceptive business practices. The lawsuit seeks restitution for affected residents and enforcement against further deceptive conduct.
