Probably.. it's just too convenient and the free super saver shipping is its own good deal, so I'd likely keep going to them.
If I have to pay taxes in Amazon I will be shopping around before I make my decision, every penny counts and If I can get the same thing Im looking for from another online store w/out Taxes I will buy from the competition. !
W00T, newegg, buy.com etc, are tax free.
Our GOV. always looking a way to get more !
Don't think they can charge me any. I'm in Montana, and there isn't a sales tax...yet! But would still shop there for the same reason...I live in Montana, and there's only 2 bookstores in town.
Yes
As with most here yes! if the final price delivered is good and I don't need to drive (time and gas) it has merit to me.
I dont mind my state receiving deserved taxes, but need to distribute that money back in the counties and cities relative to what is collected. Here's what I wonder what and how are UPS, Fed-Ex, DHL, etc. pay in taxes for conducting business on local road and highways? Money paid to the states, but from there are states giving to local cities for road upkeep?
Yes I will
I live in Delaware. What's sales tax?
Amazon already charges me sales tax, so yes, yes I will.
Very likely yes if the prices are still better, but if not then no, it depends on the price.
No! I guess I will be forced to shop at all the local stores that have such great customer service and well informed employees like at Walmart and Best Buy. Not!
of courseeeee
There are 3 major reasons I shop at Amazon:
1. Easy returns.
2. Free super-saving shipping or 2nd day shipping with Amazon Prime,
3. No tax, usually meaning a lower overall price if you consider the savings by not having the added sales tax.
Therefore, my answer would be "it depends" on if another site has a lower total combined price, their return policy, and their method of delivery, e speed of getting the item to me.
Of Course
Honestly as long as the price is still the lowest I could care less. Amazon has been pretty good all these years.
purchases are based on final price
Of course, but not as often, with competitors having prices that come close to Amazons.
Depends on prices - if they're still cheapest, sure.
Off course if their total prices are cheaper.
Prices would have to be better than B&M to still shop at Amazon if they charged sales tax.
Depends if I can get the item at the same price and without sales tax someplace else, if not, then Amazon it is.
