Amazon cancelled first-party delivery management because parts of DC are too dangerous.

DC Attorney big mad. [/quote]

DC is suing Amazon because they're charging some people full membership but not providing full services. I don't know why you would think that's ok.[/quote]
Why does the DC AG think that people should not read the terms and conditions before?[/quote]

Why would you think the terms and conditions (which everybody knows nobody reads) override local law?[/quote]

Please cite the DC law that requires Amazon to deliver [i]anything[/i], [i]anywhere[/i]. [/quote]

When you contract with people and charge them to do X knowing full well you don't intend to fulfill the terms of the contract, you are in breach and can get sued. It has nothing to do with local law.[/quote]
[b]Amazon doesn’t promise anything vis-à-vis Prime.[/b] I don’t live in a high crime area of DC and I frequently encounter items not available for Prime delivery.

There has been a long standing practice of DC government trying to punish companies that divest from poor, high crime areas. They harass supermarkets. They harass pharmacies. They harass banks. This has been going on for decades and is nothing new. [/quote]

I guess that's for the courts to figure out now. If you charge people for Prime they should get the service you charge them for. If not, sell them a discounted service or don't charge at all.[/quote]

Prime is slow in some places. It's all in the TOC and Amazon would have been in the clear if they owned up to it. Affirmatively misleading customers in response to inquiries is why they got in trouble. [/quote]
