[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny how he’s mad with Amazon for not delivering to these areas, but he’s not mad at the criminals and the crime that are making these areas undeliverable.

I might be mistaken, but were there some food deliveries that stop delivering to these areas too? It may have been Dominos or Uber eats. I don’t remember exactly but this is not the first company that stopped servicing certain areas.[/quote]

You didn’t read the story. The AG made it clear that they’re not mad about not sending laser ship drivers, the lawsuit is about still charging people for prime membership without telling them about the limits in their zip code. [/quote]
Prime membership is not just about shipping. It also gives you access to Prime Video and Whole Foods discounts. [/quote]

Then they can work out the value of those services and discount the shipping part accordingly for the parts that Amazon isn't shipping to as they do for other geographic areas.  But I would suspect that 90% of Amazon Prime Customers don't value Prime for the Whole Foods "discounts."  [/quote]

you're kinda proving the point against the lawsuit - everyone values different elements of Prime differently, and remaining a paying Prime member when the website gives you clear shipping estimates before purchase implies there is enough value in those other elements to keep Prime. so you can't conclusively prove any deception, especially not against every member of certain zipcodes as a class[/quote]

No, I'm kinda not.  It's deception to promise a benefit when you have no intention to provide it to targeted zip codes.  AG was right to file this lawsuit.[/quote]
