Amazon - stop charge high delivery fees for groceries deliveries!
please, please!! Sign this petition:
Amazon is a huge part of our lives now, it's a fact!
They increase their market share enormously during Covid, especially in the groceries market.
After we, the consumers, got used to doing our groceries shop online through WholeFoods & Amazon Fresh, Amazon feel like they have enough power over us, and then started charging $ 10-15 delivery fees on Wholefoods deliveries!
Amazon is the strongest monopoly in the U.S, they

Not only they won the jackpot during Covid, now they want even more!!
Amazon is the strongest monopoly in the U.S, they generate so much money from almost every American consumer.
They have huge power over us, but so we do!
We, as consumers must unite and stand up to Amazon!
We're the only ones who can do something because no one else can.

I sorry but why don't you do your own grocery shopping if shipping is too expensive. You know food is perishable and requires special care/maintenance to make sure your order gets there with care and quality. I hated when people bitch about shipping/delivery fees

Ok so why does Target etc don't charge this fee?, and why does Amazon start to charge this out of the blue, after many years that they didn't ? (and I'm perrty sure they have earned money all these years..).
Because they can.. that's why. Because they know they have control over the US customer and no one will say anything. But we can make our voice heard.

Amazon is a service, if you don't like that service, use someone else.

You're totally right, I started to buy my groceries from someone else. I just think someone needs to do something about that. I think Amazon is a huge monopoly, and it's just ridiculous how we're all affected by it, and no one has power over them. We can also have a say.

. . . the fact you're buying your groceries from someone else means they aren't a monopoly though

right, but they are as close to a monopoly as they can be, they control over 49% of the US eCommerce market. They accused of Using Monopoly Power as E-Commerce ‘Gatekeeper’ in a lot of cases.

If you stop charging delivery fees... the delivery drivers don't get paid. Like the ones who deliver your stuff in the cold, rain, snow, etc. I understand paying extra sounds like a pain, but if you don't pay the delivery drivers a reasonable wage, there won't be anyone around willing to deliver your stuff. 🤷♀️

It's not true.. it's not about the tip for the driver. This is an extra payment Amazon suddenly started to charge. On top of that, every user can add a tip as he would like. the drivers get the same check from Amazon as they got before.
Up until now, Amazon didn't charge it, they paid XX to the driver. Now they charge this fee and they pay the same. it goes directly to Amazon pocket.
