Israel Post sued for Amazon priority

After the recent reports about Israel Post secretly giving priority service to Amazon deliveries, leaving all other companies shipping through them in the lurch, things are getting really interesting.

According to TOI, an online business that relies on Israel Post for delivering the products customers buy from them has filed a class action suit against Israel Post for damages due to ongoing delays in deliveries of the packages. The lawsuit is for 50.6million NIS and the claim is that Israel Post is favoring Amazon deliveries to the detriment of all other companies.

The lawsuit claims breach of contract as preferential treatment is forbidden, along with the fact that he is paying full rate for deliveries yet the deliveries are not being processed in a timely fashion, even when he purchases special expedited delivery. Israel Post sold, and continues to sell, services at full value knowing it would not keep its side of the contract due to prioritizing Amazon packages.

I cant wait to see how this turns out. In the meantime, perhaps companies needing to ship product to customers should look for alternate delivery companies and stop using Israel Post. Even Amazon does not use Israel Post for all its shipping needs and uses a slew of other delivery companies to handle its deliveries.
