DC is suing Amazon. Here’s why | NBC4 Washington

Online shoppers spent a record $13.3 billion on Cyber Monday – almost $16 million per minute Monday night, according to Adobe Analytics – but for residents of two D.C. ZIP codes, delivery of those purchases may not be as fast as it should be if they used Amazon Prime, according to the D.C. attorney general.

Amazon Prime customer and Southeast D.C. resident Sere Mickel said she isn’t getting the speedy shipping she pays for, so D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed suit to get her and her neighbors a better deal.

The attorney general alleges that since 2022, Amazon has secretly excluded two D.C. ZIP codes, 20019 and 20020, from expedited delivery – that same-day, one- or two-day delivery option shoppers often see on Amazon Prime.

“If I pay for something, I should be treated fairly no matter what my ZIP code is, no matter what my area is,” Mickel said. “I want what I pay for."
