....snip.... You don't need 3 people in California to answer the phone when one in Texas will do fine. However, if you have operational facilities like a warehouse in California, you can't very well run that without somebody on site.
Actually, easily taken care of with a few 18 wheelers. Cost of transporting the contents of a warehouse (especially one depleted of stock due to reduced imports due to covid and sell down of existing stock - many items have gone OOS at several online sellers) is a lot less than paying California warehouse rental rates. A Texas warehouse can be rented for 1/4 to 1/3 California prices. Rent savings easily offset transportation costs.
