The items were sold through Amazon Business’s COVID-19 Supplies operation, which launched in the U.S. to help frontline workers access the equipment they need to protect themselves from the virus. Amazon expanded the program to Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, and India. The company says the operation “ is a service for communities and does not make a profit.” Customers who purchase products through COVID-19 Supplies receive “free priority delivery,” the fastest delivery speed. Amazon says it is waiving fees for third-party sellers who provide products for the program. |
