> In fact the ONLY company I can think of who has high quality customer care/support AND is actually growing is Amazon. But they also often happen to be the cheapest.
Not sure about the US, but when buying electronics Amazon is usually somewhere in the middle, price-wise. They are almost never really the cheapest and if so, this is usually due to a Amazon Marketplace seller, not Amazon themselves.
Lack of sales tax is US-specific, too which is, for me, quite strange. Amazon here pays 19% sales tax just like every other online and offline business and they end up somewhere in the middle of the spectrum (using price-comparison websites).
