WTH are all you guys buying so much of?!
Nope, they charge sales tax in all states that have a sales tax. Which is somewhat confusing since the Supreme Court way back said companies could not do so if they did not have a presence in that state. That had to do with mail order back before the internet, but I would think that ordering off the internet would be the same as ordering from a catalog. Anyway we do not have amazon here but they still charge a sales tax,
That's a great question...I don't really know. LOL
We buy personal care items razors, make up (for the wife) I'll buy deodorant (Because I forget about it, so using the app is easy).
As far as business goes, smaller tools (router bits, tape measures) and we buy our paper product, toilet paper and paper towels. I think a bulk of mine might be ink.
If you have a valid .edu address you get the student membership. It's worth looking into.
For example, if you went to college and all alumni get to keep their email addresses, you now have a .edu address to use.
I'm not sure what the student membership gets you, but it might be worth looking into.

A lot of states have what is called “deemed nexus” or “sales nexus”. Once you cross a threshold of sales being delivered within the state you are treated the same as having a store within the state.
It sucks for even mid size companies it’s a paperwork nightmare. Look at Colorado alone, if you end up having nexus they are a destination state which means you have to file sales tax returns based on every sales tax district you deliver to. Which means you might be tracking 1,500 sales tax rates based on shipping a box from one location all over the state. Each district has to be broken out separately. For example in my city alone there are like 10ish different taxing districts based off the same base zip code.
Other states, such as Missouri you pay based on where the item is shipped from. So if you have one location within your sales tax return takes 5 mins to prepare.

i still have a .edu email address from college. may switch over to student and get the next 4 years at 1/2 off. no one uses my prime other than me anyways.
For home improvement stuff, my local Lowe's is almost always cheaper.
I think if there is a warehouse in your state they charge sales tax.
Just use Walmart.com if you want two day shipping. Walmart is free with no membership.
The time and money involved in getting to the store outweighs the benefits of getting it locally IMO.....especially if you're searching for something specific and have to go to multiple stores.
I find that overall Amazon saves me a TON of money when it comes to time and gas. Not only that but they also honor certain coupons and have sales regularly just like brick and mortar stores. There are a number of online trackers that monitor prices as well so if you're smart about how you shop you almost always come out on top.
Also, don't forget about Prime Now as another benefit.
FYI.....you are allowed to add a few guests on your prime account as well. My father and brother both use my account. Split the cost if it's getting too expensive.
And doesn't have 1/10th of the stuff Amazon does.
$19 hike? PFFFT.
Still a steal of a deal.
Amazon is completely changing the game in the Transportation/shipping/trucking industry.
Assholes deliver on Sunday (as a consumer I obviously like it).
As an employee for a national trucking Co, im like EFF THAT! lol. Our industry has never delivered on the weekends. Im sure that will be changing soon.

Sure it does, but the WM website sucks total ass. It is very unorganized, hard to navigate, and slow.
If you want to have a successful web business... you should probably have a good website.
Uhh, no, it doesn't. Look, 1/10th was probably an exaggeration, but Amazon sells a crap ton of stuff that Walmart doesn't.
Specially if you are former military!
