    I have never had a problem with them. The only thing I don't like is having to pay sales tax because they're in-state. For price and service there are none better. They may get equalled occasionally, but never bettered.

    I don't know about Florida, but here in Connecticut you owe the state sales tax even if the seller is out of state. I don't know if they can actually check on it for any thing other than cars.

    Officially, you are supposed to pay state sales tax for all purchases, but I don't know anyone who does.

    Yes, technically you are supposed to pay sales tax on everything you purchase. States make it easy by forcing the seller to collect it on your behalf. Kevin, sorry that we have to charge you sales tax. I think it's a matter of time where the government makes all internet retailers charge a national Internet sales tax. At which point, I am hoping that the state tax falls off and the government divvies the money appropriately to the states. There are too many transactions being completed online where government is losing money.

    Plus that will bring a more level playing field to online competition. It's harder for us to compete in FL because of the tax issue. However, you are also more likely to get your product in 1 day vs 3-5 days with us. :-)

    No big deal, John, it's just an accident of where I live. And yes, purchases arrive much quicker. Barnes and Noble also charges FL tax, but they take their sweet time delivering. And you really think that an internet purchase tax will eliminate state sales taxes? When do taxes go down here, unless you're filthy rich? I'm calling our governor "Silent P."
