Amazon.com, Inc. agreed to pay $8.25 million to resolve a Washington, D.C. lawsuit that accused the company of limiting Prime delivery services in two ZIP codes located in Wards 7 and 8, east of the Anacostia River. The settlement addresses claims that Amazon secretly cut fast‑shipping benefits to those low‑income neighborhoods.
The payment concludes the district‑of‑columbia case, ending the dispute over the alleged restriction of Prime delivery in the specified areas.
