Just got this email from Newegg

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

I haven't even heard of this new law. God damn ridiculous... soon there won't be anywhere New Yorkers can shop without having to pay a tax.

That does suck. Although technically, people from any state should pay tax from online orders by reporting it on your tax form. (i know no one does that)

Oh no, not taxes!

Jeez, we pay 14% on everything in Ontario. Stop complaining.

It's 17.5% here in England, so shut it Canada

If I had the money atm I would probably consider it.
