$847.11

36 orders - $110.50 of that is shipping charges

I've been going crazy this year. I buy from third-party vendors now that Amazon is asking for sales tax. Curse you Amazon.

Not sure, a decent bit. I use amazon prime like a champ. I'd say I order something probably every 10 days on average, but sometimes a couple times in a given week. Prime has changed my life.

61 orders at $1909 so far this year, but more like $1000. $400 is a PS4 preorder, and just doing a quick look another $400-500 was returned.
129 orders at $8545 for 2012, and 109 and $7709 for 2011.
Kinda worried about lifetime numbers...it's taking so long it said to wait for an email to let me know when its ready! Its been over 10 30 min... :eek:

I know this year I'm not that quick to buy high priced items from Amazon due to sales tax. I am buying pretty much anything that costs over $100 from east coast merchants. Kinda surprising to see how much sales tax changed my spending habits.

9 orders. Little over $200. I average about one order a month. I have Prime but I don't feel the need to use it. Amazon is price competitive and follower but rarely the price leader.

28 orders.
$720 total
Of that, $20 was tax, and $39 was shipping.

$417 was shipped via Amazon Prime, which was reserved for heavier or bulky items that I could get locally, or was too lazy to drive across town for.

One item that didn't go via Prime was $161 by itself.
