Quote from Zoe Moon :
Because Amazon bought the start up company that did a grocery delivery test market in the DFW area back in the early part of this century. Then Amazon shut down the test program and a few years later started up the Amazon Fresh test market in Seattle. So it makes me wonder if working out the state sales tax dispute with Texas means they might be getting ready to do another Amazon Fresh test market in the DFW area. Might be unrelated but who knows? They keep saying they're going to expand Amazon Fresh to other metro areas at some point.
Wow that would be nice if they do that

There are some companies already delivering fresh groceries, like Greenling and Artizone. Love both of them... They have free delivery sometimes! Would be nice to hv amazon compete.

How does this play out? Any item shipped to Texas? Or is it whether you purchase an item with a billing address in texas?

fark nm - seems like where the item is shipped. fark Texas.

Well, it's an odd conundrum in the podium.

Many people who harass the rich for "not paying their fair share" are true slickdealers in the respect that they absolutely factor in whether or not sales tax is being collected on a major purchase when they themselves are paying for it ---- even though most states have somewhere on their state tax form for a "use tax" which is supposed to contain itemized purchases that were made from out of state retailers but are used in that state.

I recommend that you all stay out of the podium for your own sanity.

I don't understand why everyone is bitching about this.

Shouldn't everyone be grateful that Amazon is now going to be doing all the work for you instead of having to keep track of your purchases and pay the taxes on your own?

Dontknow
