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

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
