With the sales tax now applied to onlne sales, customers now have to pay the tax plus the shipping and have to wait for the item to be delivered, which puts Internet sellers at a disadvantage.

If it arrives damaged, then there's more hassle. No thanks, I'd rather go to a brick and mortar and hold the actual product.

Last time I ordered a book from Amazon, they sent the wrong one. I sent it back, but still haven't received the one I ordered. At a brick-and-mortar store, that wouldn't have happened.

Sadly, brick-and-mortar bookstores are becoming scarce.
