Which means as of right now, state sales taxes are charged on Amazon.com purchases.
They say it'll take a year and a half to get the thing built and operational, but some types of shipping to some places in WI will be reduced time for delivery. I knew I shouldn't have put off my shopping.

Yeah, I noticed we've been getting charged sales tax on Amazon orders lately.
Now the question is, is shipping going to be fast enough when it's done, that Prime is moot? |

They implemented the tax charge on November 1st.

Does this mean some of us may be elligible for aerial drone delivery?
I always thought Amazon was just a storefront for other vendors. Everytime I order something the order is fulfilled by some other company and shipped direct to me. Seems like a brilliant business model, so when did they start stocking and warehousing? |

Started getting taxed Nov 1, before there is even a shovel in the ground or a single person hired.
It's not for "us" anyway, Chicago is the big market that it will serve. Only cost the wi tax payers $7,000,000 in tax credits. |

If you order something from a vendor that isn't in WI, even if it is fulfilled by Amazon, you shouldn't get charged tax. I just did that last night for a couple items, still got Prime shipping, and the price before tax was even slightly less than Amazon's direct price, so it worked out well.

Might be time for a career change. I hear amazon is a very good company to work for.
As for tax credits, its money we dont get now anyways, but at least we get jobs. And 5% in sales tax

Just made an order on Wednesday and noticed I was charged tax and wondered what was up with that.
Arfcom comes thru with the answer once again.

I know some office drones and IT Folks who went there early on and stayed. Their stock options made them rich. The picker/lickers get used pretty hard but they pay well enough even for that kind of work. |

Nice.
Now my stuff may come faster without having to shell out for Amazon Prime, and still no sales tax for us. I knew this UNFRIENDLY business climate we have in Illinois, would pay off for us, sooner or later .

<--- Only faster if the item you order comes from this warehouse. I'm not sure if there is a way to tell though. |

The article that was in the paper a few months ago said it will create a lot of $13 an hour jobs. They said management and other higher payed positions will be around 40-80K.

Of course you've all been declaring that sales tax before in your yearly tax returns, correct?

Few things.
Amazon's court case with NY is part to blame for this. http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/02/supreme-court-refuses-consideration-of-amazon-sales-tax-case/ Amazon wouldn't hire WI remote employees before because they would need to charge sales tax in WI. When a company does not charge sales tax, you as the individual is responsible for paying that to the government. Technically. I don't know a single person who has. |
