I have been a prime member for over 5 years and when i first signed on i was am i am now a resident of the us virgin islands and i would receive free shipping and then they started charging me ,i would call and complain and i would get a refund but for the last few years they have escalated shipping fees even though i am still a prime member who is entitled to "free"shipping . We in the usvi are in the same usps rate scheme as puerto rico whom amazon does not charge any shipping to prime members ,i feel we should request a refund of all shipping fees and recieve the benefits just as puerto rico does . My second complaint is the super slow shipping of our orders ,when i call to complain i am told it is because you live in the usvi ,but when i explain the items ordered have not even been shipped so how can you justify us waiting weeks for an item to be shipped and i am told it is just that way if no resolution is reached i would like to find a lawyer and create a "class" to file and recover shipping fees and compensation for extended filling of our orders
Claimed loss: $10,000 SHIPPING FEES ALONE +++
Desired outcome: AMAZON TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT RETURN USEROUS SHIPPING FEES TO PRIME MEMBERS AND TO START FILLING OUR ORDERS JUST LIKE THEY DO IN THE STATES AND PUERTO RICO AND CEASE THIS DISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT OF USVI RESIDENTS
