What was their reasoning to change the previous law where they item had to be sold in state to tax? Why was it okay then but not now?

Sales tax is collected based on the local tax rate for the shipping address. Online retailer then has to remit those sales taxes that were collected to the appropriate state/parish/city/county
3144 counties + 19,354 cities + 50 states = Good Luck to anyone wanting to sell nationally
That's only 22,000 sales tax forms a national company has to file. Plus, some want sales tax every month, others every quarter. Even if you don't sell anything in that city/county for the period, you still have to file for zero taxes or you are going to receive an "assessed sales tax" letter. Every online company is now going to have to have a state sales tax certificate from every state and register with every city & county they sell to. What a shitshow.
It's going to be worse on small companies than the large ones like Amazon. This will only increase the operating costs of small businesses, further increasing the divide between small businesses and large corporations.
Another win for big government and their corporate sponsors.

How hard would it be to take delivery at a location where there is no sales tax
I suspect enterprising individuals will set up drop sites in nonstate tax states for just such a purpose.
Won't always be to the buyer's benefit to utilize such a service but I can see where it could save a ton on some items.

The other half of products on Amazon are sold by third-party merchants on Amazon's marketplace. They potentially face the added burden of collecting sales tax in states that begin taxing online sales.
Or Amazon will offer to collect the taxes for them (or require it as a condition of selling through Amazon).

Then they'll have a lawsuit to deal with. But there isn't much of an interest in not paying it as it is a straight pass through cost to the consumer.
That's the real nightmare for individual sellers not just Amazon but folks selling on Amazon and other sites. Every state/county has different sales tax. Charging the correct sales tax to the customer and then paying that tax to the state exponentially multiplies your paperwork

I would like to see a behemoth like Amazon set up a way station in a non tax state and list that delivery address on every purchase. Merchandise doesn't even have to be unloaded.
Taxes should be avoided by any and every means available.

In short, technology challenged existing ideas of nexus.

Big Supreme Court win on internet sales tax - about time! Big victory for fairness and for our country. Great victory for consumers and retailers.
I would love for someone to explain to me how this is, in any way, a "great victory for consumers".
