Amazon has cautioned that a proposed delivery mandate backed by New York City Mayor Eric Adams could push households to spend hundreds more each year on parcel deliveries. The city’s plan would require Amazon to pay for last‑mile delivery for every package shipped to New Yorkers, a move intended to curb the company’s environmental impact and level the playing field for local couriers. Amazon argues the cost would be passed on to consumers, potentially adding a significant burden to already high living expenses in the city. The debate highlights the tension between corporate responsibility, local economic interests, and the practical realities of urban logistics.
