This sucks
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

If Newegg would move their shipping warehouse to NJ, they wouldn't have to collect sales tax. Plain and simple.

Newegg's Warehouse is in NJ :-) It's the same battle that Overstock.com and Amazon.com are fighting.

There have to be ways to get around it; it's a violation of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1798 otherwise. Pennsylvania was all like, gonna get you, New Jersey! Gonna tax your grain, bitches! And Washington was all like, not so fast, assholes. And then later in 1804, the Marshall Court was all like, you can't impose tariffs on imports from one state to another, it's a violation of interstate commerce and it's a power of the federal gov't, not the state gov'ts. See how cool I am? I remember exactly one thing from 11th grade!
