Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I just finished a Chat with Amazon customer service.
I live in an unincorporated area. My address uses the name and zip code of the neighboring city post office. That city has a local sales tax. I recently found that Amazon may have been including that city tax for my purchases. I view this as taxation without representation since I cannot vote for the people who implemented that tax.
I was assured by the customer service person that my account will be corrected to show I should not be charged that city sales tax. He/she will email me with a confirmation that this was done. However, there is nowhere on my account details what the tax rate applied is. I have to take their word that this has been completed successfully.
I am posting this as a public service announcement. If you live in an unincorporated area, you may want to check too.
