Amazon.com starts collecting Sales Taxes in TX.. July 1

[grove rat]

I pretty much do all of my shopping online. I just don't like stupid people and they are in abundance in the public world. The motherfuckers at the mall are the ones who piss me off the most. We're walking along, la-di-da, "Oh there's something that caught my eye! Let me stop right in the middle of the fucking path of other people to look and see if I might be interested, rather than walking up to the storefront to check it out!" Meanwhile I get the "hey!" treatment or sneers when I purposely run into them.

sounds like you need something to slow you down and calm your nerves

now i go to northpark after work for anything i need(from the mall anyways), since the are no teens it is quieter and a lot nicer to shop

I use them on occation, they stock or can get some things that arent possible to find in town. IE yesterday I order and new replacement fuel tank and pickup/sender assy for the fairmont. None of the major parts houses could/would order it in, so mail order it was.

They were both shipped direct from Amazon's supplier, and no sales tax.

Only time I set foot in stores is for clothes or groceries. Even clothes I get a lot of online. Every once in awhile I pop in an Electronics store if I want to watch a couple of movies immediately, but even Best Buy has pissed me off the last few times I've been in there. I buy a TON from Amazon. It is what it is though. I'm sure I've literally saved well over a grand in taxes by using them all these years. Hell, maybe a few grand.

Clothing / Shoes I will not buy online, everything else I prefer to. I use Amazon a lot. I will check for things on other sites just to compare now but with the free shipping and the Customer Service experience I have with them, it has to be a huge difference for me to change sites.

Its like $8 more per every $100 you spend. Are you really going to stop shopping over such a small amount? B&M stores are still more expensive.

It will make me consider shopping at some other place only that has the same price and no sales tax.

I made a bunch of purchases through Amazon Friday, but will be looking at other places when I can from now on. It isn't just the sales tax, it is the fact that a lot of the prices on Amazon are at or above many other places, add in shipping and sales taxes and it isn't that great of a great deal.

yup

i think more websites will start adding taxes and you will see some of the smaller sites suffer cause it isn't worth it

Amazon Prime is 100% worth it if you buy a lot on there.

2 day for "free".

I bought a toilet on there before the tax hit last month. Saved me about $50 then going to lowes. Had it in 2 days.

Amazon also has a free one month trial for the Prime, I used it and bought a TON of stuff, all with the free two day shipping during that month. I could see it being worth it for people who are buying in bulk from them.

You can get a lot of the Prime features for free with a student email address. It's awesome.

yeah, but if you go to lowes, at least you can try out the toilet. I took a dump in the display model just this weekend and decided it wasnt comfortable so i didnt purchase it

Is there anywhere you can get a .edu address? My old one has long expired.

Pay the McCombs Business School $105,000 and you get a lifetime .edu email address ... you also get a nifty backpack.

How would I know? Mine is legit.

My pop's lives out of state, I just have him drop ship that shit for me anyway since he gets 1-2 day shipping free. Doesn't effect shit here, TX taxes can go fuck themselves.
