The city of Paris have threatened Uber with legal action over its new delivery service due to fears it will force local shops out of business. For an extra €5.90, goods will be delivered within an hour. Amazon 's Prime Now service offers an hour delivery on a vast range of products including groceries at an annual subscription cost of € 38 . The service which already operates in 40 cities globally is seen by Paris ' socialist mayor Anne Hidalgo as a risk to the "commercial equilibrium" of New York because the company does not have to pay the same taxes as shopkeepers and artisans. Another multinational offering quick and cheap services, Amazon , has experienced similar opposition in Paris with legal challenges and fines and its drivers even being subject to physical violence.
