If you feel that bad about a supplier, don't use them.
Businesses generally don't take moral stances, but you can as an individual if you feel that way.
Perhaps Amazon pay road.cc a few quid which keeps stops the annoying pop up ads that other sites use.
Yep: a few pop-up ads are well worth losing your morals over.
They didn't break any laws.
Sounds like good business to me.
It would make more sense to be angry with the Government that allowed it to go on.
As far as I'm aware, the loopholes still haven't been closed.
What loopholes are those then?
Pick one of the tax-dodging multinationals, and tell me which government to be angry with, in that particular case.
Regardless of their corporate social conscience, I'm somewhat underwhelmed by the deals anyway.
Apart from the Look pedals, it seems to be generic chinese light sets at discounts on an already inflated price. Can get the same/similar for less at your local Wilko.
Hey Road.cc - how about you promote a business that pays some tax and doesn't shirk their moral and social responsibilities?
I am all for pointing out businesses that don't pay UK tax however as Amazon has been paying its fair share of UK taxes since it changed its reporting structure last year, your comment is a little unfair.

they can afford a little more tax as now looking at price fixing according to The Guadian and others
Sorry, yes that is unfair of me. But is it less fair than the exchequer missing out on billions in taxation from Amazon over the past fifteen or so years?
All the cuts to healthcare, education, infrastructure, policing, welfare, etc., etc. that could have been avoided had Amazon and their ilk been held to account - where does this sit on the fairness scale?
Should we just turn a blind eye to their past behaviour?
No: keep sticking the boot in at every available opportunity.
Multinationals seeking access to developed, profitable markets, infrastructure and workforces, without paying their fair share for the upkeep of those facilities and benefits, should be held up as the parasites that they are.
That the usual suspects have realised that being pariahs is bad for business and are doing something about current taxes is an improvement, but still cynical, and their excuses are pathetic. If their motivation was a social conscience, and not the bottom line, they'd be covering previous years, too.
