If I am in california and buy something from a company with a presence in California and my purchased items ship from California to me I should pay California sales taxes.
But they don't have a presence in California, your orders placed with Amazon are fulfilled by a [legally] different company!
They are essentially drop shipping everything you order.

I work for a company (not in Washington) that drop ships for Amazon. In other words, Amazon.com, LLC buys the product from us and we ship it to whatever address they want. In this case, it seems the "brick and mortar" argument is easily arguable to not apply because we have no ties with Amazon.
Now, what if Amazon warehouses were considered to be owned by a different company legally? I'll pick a name, say "Amazon.com KYDC, LLC".
Amazon.com, LLC does the same thing where they buy from this secondary company and have them ship it to the customer. Does Amazon.com, LLC still have a presence?

Agreed. I have an ASUS Intel board and I bought 4 x 2GB sticks. Pick any three and it was rock solid -- add in that fourth and the machine would blue screen or processes would mysteriously crash after some time.
Turns out it's a very common problem for boards to have trouble reliably powering all 4 DIMMs, and upping the voltage by
And they offer financing at 5% APR!!! I can't even get that low of a rate from the government to bail out my bank.
