Unfortunately I live in a state for which Amazon collects tax for online shopping now. Between that, rising shipping costs, increased minimum to get free shipping and terrible and unpredictable shipping times, I rarely shop at Amazon anymore. When it was effectively tax-free and I had Amazon Prime, I was buying a tremendous stream of merchandise from them. Now it's just a trickle.
