I feel your pain. Ordered day 1 within 2 hours from dealer. I sold my Stellia and Mytek in preparation for this. I didn’t ask for xlr cable because I figured that would delay it longer from dealer.
How? It charged me taxes direct, which why I canceled my Audeze order in the first 5 minutes of site going live.
Not sure, I ordered through PayPal.
Just checked, I used my Arkansas address. I live on the border, sometimes I use Texas sometimes I use AR. But I don't recall having to pay taxes on electronics when I used my Texas address.
Is this required federally or in Texas? Many places do not charge internet sales tax in Texas if they don’t have physical location here.
I live in a border city, which gives me lots of nice (legal!) tax freedoms. Probably why I never paid internet tax, or had the "use tax" questions pop up on my tax forms.
lmao dude, what an accusation. Let's get back on topic.
I dont think audiophiles are any more critical of service and workmanship than any of group of high end buyers of products,sorryYou are correct.
This audiophile community is the hardest consumer community to satisfy. They are also the most critical and most easily upset by the smallest thing that is not to their liking. They are also ready to condemn anything and everything in general, based on their subjective, one off experiences.
I am part of this audiophile community, but often feel embarrassed reading some comments. Customer service of high-end audiophile manufacturers must be considered as one of the hardest jobs.
I'm definitely not a tax expert and it's possible that for some of you, this is totally fine. But for me, in California, ordering out of state just means I have to declare it on my state tax return and pay up then, as far as I know I can't legally skip the taxes. Yet many act like it's a discount. For someone ordering outside of California from a business in California, it's likely a different story, since the business is required to charge sales tax regardless of where you live, so if you can order without sales tax from within your state, say, that's the better option.
