If you are purchasing on behalf of a business, I highly suggest using Amazon Business Solutions (http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=nav_swm_b2b_sln?ie=UTF8&node=11306076011&pf_rd_p=2073948862&pf_rd_s=nav-sitewide-msg&pf_rd_t=4201&pf_rd_i=b2b-nav&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0XVHWPW88BMVDYDRGREW)

We set up as a business and it's great. It's free. I uploaded our tax exempt certificate.  You get FREE Two-Day shipping and business pricing on supplies like paper, pens, ink/toner, etc.  I've set it up so that I can have multiple employees (my Head of Youth Services, my manager who purchases African-American fiction, and even my IT Specialist) can order using a PO system that I (and a designee) can approve before it's ordered.  We're even using their 55-day Pay-in-Full Line of Credit (as of last week).  It's great to get all that off the credit card.

And, honestly, the best part is that when I call about a lost order or a return, I get a dedicated team of business for business account managers.  So much better than before. 

Good luck!

Amazon will start charging sales tax in Michigan on October 1.  If you have let them know of your state sales tax exemption, what was the procedure?  Do they require a mailed document?  Can you just tell them the tax exemption number?
