That's some bullpoo.

 

Must be a McCrory backdoor deal.

 

 

I believe they built or building warehouse around Winston-Salem so now they have a hub in the state and they required to charge sales tax because they no longer out of state business.

 

Amazon used to be based in California so they only charged sale tax in California... now they have hubs in 20-25 different states and they charge sales tax in all these states.  I'm not sure if their business module will payoff... they want to increase delivery time and convince by charging more... poo, there's walmart on every corner, I can just drive there and get it if it costs the same.

Yeah, same here.  I first got prime for the benefits as I was finishing up undergrad.  You couldn't beat the prices on there a few years back.  Now, there aren't many items I've bought off there that I couldn't find cheaper elsewhere.  This tax only makes it more obvious...  That sucks.

SC tried this when they built a distribution center here.. Amazon got tons of free land tons of tax consessions but Wal Mart tried to block it bc of the unfair practice of no taxes.

Amazon threatened to pull out of the deal bc the no tax thing is sacred to them.

Wally world pulled some deal with the ever purchasable loyalty of the NC government apparently.

Of course this no tax on internet purchases is coming to an end eventually...

It's already like that in West Virginia. Add that to the fact that you now have to spend $35 to get free shipping on items, and the recent overall increase in shipping costs (it's $4 to ship a fuging DVD) and it equals me shopping on Ebay a lot more frequently now.

I haven't paid for shipping on Amazon in years

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
