You’re in AR aren’t you? A new law went into effect, maybe on July 1 requiring out-of-state vendors to charge AR sales tax and also requiring Amazon to collect it. Tain’t the Big A’s fault.I can't exactly say this "pisses me off" but it is annoying.
Amazon, today, started collecting state sales tax for my state on all purchases - Amazon and MP vendors.
Yep. Guess I missed that law going into effect. And I discovered it's both state and local taxes they're collecting. It really makes me wish more local vendors sold what I purchase at Amazon (mostly media). I'd much rather the money stay local if possible.You’re in AR aren’t you?

Well, technically the state and local taxes are still being collected...Yep. Guess I missed that law going into effect. And I discovered it's both state and local taxes they're collecting.

Yes, but before today Amazon only collected state sales tax. I'd rather keep the whole purchase local if possible. With most local stores removing or drastically reducing their media sections it's quite difficult. There are a few other things I purchase from Amazon on occasion that I can't get locally but would purchase local if possible.Well, technically the state and local taxes are still being collected...

You too, huh? I got a package of those a couple of weeks back in the same size box with a smallish board game arriving yesterday in a padded envelope. Fortunately there was no damage to the game box. Oh... and the batteries arrived safely as well.Not really pissed, just perplexed. Amazon recently shipped the Jason Bourne Collection on Blu-ray in a padded envelope that sustained some minor crushing on one corner (nothing to be overly excited about), but then today I get a 2-pack of CR2025 tablet batteries in a #20 box with several pillow packs.

Like I said, perplexed and confused. Why couldn't this be shipped in a padded envelope?
I got a similar offer on some pre-shave lotion, getting the $1 credit for my Amazon Day on Tuesday versus regular Prime shipping to arrive the same day. That was a no-brainer choice.I just ordered T2 in 4K from Amazon. My choice of shipping was my Prime 2-day shipping arriving Monday, or my Amazon day of Monday and $1 off digital. So I chose the latter. I had no intention of buying this because it doesn’t contain the extended version, but for $6, Amazon made me buy it.

I’ve placed a couple of orders recently from Amazon- the highlights are Klute Criterion in one order, and Lawrence Of Arabia (the November 2012 regular BluRay) in the other order. A question I have is I tried to order Twisted Sister Stay Hungry CD, but their website said they couldn’t ship it to my state (KY). I wonder if this is because of expletives in the content.
And, if anyone else is buying Missing Link, has yours shipped yet?
My 4K of Alita hasn't shipped yet, either, but Amazon still claims its due to arrive tomorrow on street date. The studios (especially Fox and Disney) may be forcing retailers like Amazon to hold shipments so that they do not arrive prior to street date. My more recent preorders with Amazon and even Best Buy have been arriving on street date instead of the Friday or Saturday before.I mentioned this in the Roundup thread for this week just now, but thought it would be worth posting here as well.
My pre-order of Missing Link (which should arrive tomorrow) has not shipped yet, and I can still cancel it -- not that I want to cancel it, but the option exists, which means that it hasn't yet entered the process of being prepared for shipment. This seems very odd to me, since usually by the time I wake up on Monday morning, any pre-orders for the next day have shipped.
Then I remembered that Missing Link is being distributed on disc via Fox, which is now Disney. This begs the question: is this title also being affected by the ongoing Disney/Amazon pissing contest?
If it were a "Disney" Disney title, I wouldn't even try to order it from Amazon; I would just go to a store. Has anyone else had any issues pre-ordering Fox titles from Amazon in the last few months since they became a Disney subsidiary?
