What Oregon does NOT change.
Oregon does not eliminate Amazon FBA nexus. Post-Wayfair, once Amazon stores your inventory in a state, that state has nexus regardless of where you prepped it. Any prep center pitching Oregon as a way to avoid state sales tax collection on Amazon sales is wrong, and your accountant will say the same. The savings above are on the line items Oregon actually controls: the services we sell you, the supplies we buy for your product, and the inventory sitting at our shop before it ships.
