[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1068146, member: 4886"] Amazon knows that it is just a matter of time when the states all start to collect sales tax on internet sales. However, they usually go about it by suing. Amazon is the 900lb gorilla, so they will be the one sued, and they will eventually lose. So they will owe money on non collected taxes and be subject for all new sales. Meanwhile the other online web sites will have a period of time of an advantage on them.. Also, Amazon is so big, they need more warehouses. They have put a lot of warehouses where they are not subject to nexus laws. So they need to build warehouses in CA, NY etc etc. Also, they want to eventually do same day shipping. I can see them putting in a warehouse near a very urban area and use couriers to deliver a lot of same day shipping. They ship at noon, and couriers deliver that same day. Long term this could be a real threat to UPS if a customer likes amazon now starts using couriers. (perhaps even their own couriers) for the very dense areas of country. [/QUOTE]
