I wonder how that will work if you order from Amazon outside the US?

Amazon started collecting sales tax in my state, Virginia, about a year ago.

Tax is only required in states where Amazon has a physical presence. Until now. This sounds like an instate work around. A special law to suck more money out of the ppl. More money to cypher into corrupt politicians lobbyists bank accounts.

Same thing happen in New Jersey. Just have to learn to live with it. They don't charge tax on market place purchases at least in Jersey. It does make other options like Walmart or best buy more attractive.

Stopped ordering from amazon.com a long time ago. Ridiculous postage to Europe.

I don't order as much from Amazon anymore either. It used to be a great "deal". Especially used movies and music. Back when domestic shipping was $2.50, free shipping on orders over $25 dollars, and no state sales tax. Things sure changed and not for the better! I know they got Amazon Prime but I can't justify that for myself.

Most of my Amazon orders these days come from the UK or France, depending on what I'm after.
