I HATE NEW YORK

[sanitarium16]

NOW WHAT DO I DO?!!??! F*CK THIS STATE AND THE D*UCHEBAGS IN OFFICE

Dear Valued Newegg Customer,
As a result of recent changes in the State of New York Tax Law requiring certain out-of-state retailers to collect and remit sales taxes to the State of New York, we regrettably inform you that Newegg.com must begin collecting applicable state and local sales tax for all orders shipped to New York addresses on or after June 1, 2008.

Qualified business customers can continue to use the Newegg.com Sales Tax Exempt Form.

We value our relationship with you and all of our New York customers. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change in New York law and assure you that we will continue to work hard to offer you the best prices, fastest shipping and award winning customer service you deserve.

We look forward to continuing to provide you with the premier online shopping experience for all of your IT and Consumer Electronics needs.

Sincerely,

Bernard Luthi
Newegg.com
Company Spokesperson and
Vice President of Merchandising

Yeah I got that yesterday too and I think its absurd to charge tax for something that isn't even on new york state borders. Luckily I moved to Florida from new york for my job.

Now now, try and see things from their perspective. They need the money to buy more whores.

Can't really feel sorry for you guys, 25 % sales tax / VAT is what I dealing with here...

You know, those New York cat-houses aren't cheap. To keep a girl on retainer costs a lot of taxpayer money.

Washington state is getting the same deal as I understand it.

While this is somewhat related to hardware, it is more of a rant and should be posted in the subscriber area: http://www.hardforum.com/announcement.php?f=85&a=50
