Two US delivery contractors have filed a lawsuit against Amazon.com Inc alleging that the burdensome conditions of their contract made it difficult to make money.

The lawsuit, filed in Oregon state court and seeking at least US$15mil (RM62.31mil) in damages, is the latest sign of tension between Amazon and its delivery partners as the busy holiday shopping season gets under way.
