[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1846325, member: 7488"] I order sparingly off Amazon, but I have two things to add: 1) One of the biggest points of the article is that Amazon is building large numbers of local DCs to facilitate faster deliver, and understands this will afford sales tax collections where these are located. This is why places had DCs in less-populated areas before, like Amazon's in Coffeyville, KS. 2) We're all paying our use tax on online purchases when completing our OK income tax returns, right? :lookaroun Also, my local Walmart wouldn't even match their own online price. This was on a $700 TV, and the online price was $30 or so cheaper. Are they really supposed to match Amazon.com but NOT Walmart.com? Pricematching is so nutty that I don't even mess with it anymore. I just order from the cheapest place (unless local is only negligibly more or I am in a huge rush). [/QUOTE]
