亚马逊被指配送差别待遇 华盛顿特区达成825万美元和解
华盛顿特区总检察长办公室10月1日宣布，亚马逊同意支付825万美元就特区政府提起的诉讼达成和解，其中725万美元用于向受影响的Prime会员退款，另有100万美元为罚款。
特区政府指控，亚马逊自2022年6月起悄悄将阿纳卡斯蒂亚河以东第七、第八区的20019与20020邮编区域排除在自有品牌的快速配送之外，却仍按全价收费，约6.9万名会员受影响。亚马逊已于今年4月停止这一做法，今后如再有区域排除必须公开披露，受影响会员将收到退款通知。
Amazon to Pay $8.25 Million in D.C. Settlement Over Prime Delivery Exclusions
The D.C. Attorney General's office announced on October 1 that Amazon will pay $8.25 million to settle the District's lawsuit: $7.25 million in refunds to affected Prime members plus a $1 million penalty.
The District alleged that since June 2022 Amazon had quietly excluded ZIP codes 20019 and 20020, east of the Anacostia River in Wards 7 and 8, from its own branded fast Prime delivery while still charging full price, affecting about 69,000 members. Amazon ended the practice in April 2026 and must disclose any future exclusions; affected members will be notified about refunds.
