GA is one of the handful states that Amazon has been charging sales tax. Now the rest of the country gets to participate in the fun. One good thing about the online competition from WalMart is that it caused Amazon to reconsider its $49 purchase minimum to qualify for free shipping, so they recently lowered the free-shipping threshold to $35.
Anyway, I ordered chicken nipples from Amazon a few weeks ago, and after the purchase, I discovered that the vendor is in China. I guess the shipment is on a slow boat from China because it's taking a long time to get here. I had no idea the vendor was in China until I received the China Post tracking number. Live and learn.
