Amazon.com Inc has agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle an investigation filed by the U.S. Postal Service that alleged the e-retailer shipped products using Media Mail rate that did not qualify for the service. Products that qualify for Media Mail include books, printed and recorded music, recorded video tapes and films and educational test materials.
The settlement documents signed by Amazon and the Postal Service in late September say the agreement does not constitute an admission of liability by Amazon or a concession on the part of the Postal Service about the merit of its claims.
A Postal Service spokesman today confirmed the settlement. Amazon.com did not respond to a request for comment.
