So Amazon will not refund the $100.00 shipping charge? Not like Bezos can t afford it. I usually have little respect for the majority of politicions of any stripe but Floridas Governor and Attorney General deserve a pat on the back.

As you cast stones, make sure you're correct, especially if you want to be taken seriously in the future.

I would like to know the authority the Gov has to demand such a thing from private motel owners?

Is the AG going to take any legal action against Amazon? $100.00 shipping sounds like they are taking advantage of the situation.

Or maybe the only way Amazon, through UPS and Fedex, could guarantee delivery is by using the most expensive overnight options. Both Fedex and UPS have already suspended deliveries to certain areas of Florida.

It sounds to me like a lot of shoot from the hip comments in this thread without all the facts?
