To get your share of the potential refund, you’ll need to file a claim as part of a class-action lawsuit against Amazon. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Check your eligibility: The lawsuit applies to Amazon Prime customers who paid for shipping on items marked as "free one-day shipping" or "free same-day shipping" between October 25, 2015, and October 24, 2021. If you were an Amazon Prime member during this period and paid for shipping on these items, you might be eligible.
- Visit the settlement website: Search for the official settlement website, which should be available through a web search. The website will provide more information on the lawsuit, eligibility, and the claims process.
- Gather required information: To file a claim, you’ll need to provide your Amazon account information, including your account email address and order numbers for the relevant transactions. You can find this information in your Amazon order history.
- Submit your claim: Fill out the claim form on the settlement website, providing the required information. Make sure to submit your claim before the deadline, which should be listed on the website.
- Wait for the refund: After submitting your claim, you’ll need to wait for the refund process to be completed. This may take several weeks or months, depending on the settlement administration process.
The amount you can claim varies, but according to reports, some customers may be eligible for up to $51. The actual refund amount will depend on the number of eligible claims and the total settlement fund.
Keep in mind that you’ll need to act quickly, as the claims period may be limited. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the settlement administrator or consult with a lawyer for guidance.
