Amazon works to Taiwan

On January 10th, I ordered a book from Amazon online. Today, January 18th, the book arrived.

The address I used was:

Michael Ess
Xin Sheng North Road Section 2
Number 38 13th Floor Apartment 1
Taipei, Taiwan 10447
Taiwan

(I give you this address in case you too would like to send me something).

For the $30 book, the postage was $10.

  1. I'm glad that Amazon works for you so well. Amazon is amazing in Tucson! The warehouse is outside of Phoenix. I have ordered many things at night and have had them delivered the next afternoon. No sales tax is collected either. Fun!

  2. I'm kind of conflicted about Amazon not paying taxes when every other book seller has to. They certainly benefit from the state government infrastructure but without paying their share. Anybody's "free ride" is paid by someone else's excessive taxes.
