The CEO of ECS has a sterling history building his CV at "winning" brands (Sears, Circuit City, Office Max). I no longer shop with them as the service has gone down hill. The worst part is that they've killed a few competitors or acquired them, making it much harder than it used to be to find good deals or knowledgeable sales people. The sad part is that they are often buying from the dealer parts distributors anyway, just in bulk. That's party why people have inventory issues because they don't stock some items and just buy it from the manufacturer directly just like you would from a dealer.. For BMW parts, I get better pricing at my local dealer just by being friendly with the parts salesperson.

Sears - Dead man walking
Circuit City - Dead
Office Max - Dead
(on that note and OT, JCPenney is surprisingly good as the website has accurate local stock status, local pickup, store is clean & stocked and better prices on the pants I bought than Amazon).

The sales tax rules have changed for etailers, they are now required to remit sales tax to the states. Any retailer not charging sales tax is not in compliance with current law.

I don't believe that is completely accurate. Their are requirements for sales volume in each state before you have to collect taxes.

Yes the laws are murky, but in most states if they think you have what is called an economic nexus (whatever that means) and it can vary by state, not having a physical presence in the state does not cut it anymore, they can nick you for not remitting sales tax. In other words if they think you have enough sales this also includes if you web site uses cookies you may be wise to remit sales tax. In Illinois the threshold is 200 transactions or $100,000.

On June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in SOUTH DAKOTA v. WAYFAIR that remote sellers that meet certain economic thresholds, are required to collect and remit sales and use taxes in many states based upon the delivery address of the order.
Before this ruling, a remote seller was not required to collect sales tax unless the seller had a physical presence in the state where delivery was made. As of June 21, 2018, the physical presence requirement has been removed.
