Doug Morris Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 I have seen ads on TV stating that bill S2992 would prevent Amazon Prime from guaranteeing two-day delivery. I did a very small amount of research and found the following in the Wikipedia article on the bill: The legislation also aims to prevent Amazon from "self-preferencing" their own products at the expense of those sold by third parties.[9] Does anyone know more about this?

Doug Morris Posted March 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Thank you, dream_weaver, but I was hoping for something more specific on how the bill would, or perhaps would not, affect Amazon Prime's guarantee of two-day delivery.

dream_weaver Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 I didn't see it directly mentioned in the body of the text provided, but I did not burrow into the linked references inside the bill to other legalese. Did the advertisement provide any more concrete detail, perhaps the relevant statute being invoked within legislative Bill S2992? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Morris Posted April 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 No such detail. The only other statement I recall is that the bill would also raise prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dream_weaver Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 It hasn't been passed yet, and prices of many things have increased. Legislative regulation often imposes increased costs borne simply out of the extra activity to ensure compliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
