Sounds right to me. The manufacturer will pay tax in Florida, the shipping company will pay tax in New York, and the retailer will pay tax in California— all those taxes get sent down the line to me. If any of these entities are legally based out of somewhere else, I would expect them to pay tax there in addition. If the shipping company and the retailer are owned by the same entity, and they said that their revenue from shipping was $0 so they don't owe New York any tax, I'd expect New York to take a different view.
If I live in Massachusetts and earn money in New York, both states expect me to pay income tax.[0] And why shouldn't they? I'm using both of their resources.
[0] The amount paid to NY is deducted from the MA tax, down to 0. That might be different elsewhere?
