Last week i put in an order with horizon hobbies and sales tax showed up. on the invoice. I emailed then and this is the reply.

If you are located in Washington, as of April 2018 we are now required to assess sales tax on orders shipping there.

Now that they have Tower Hobbies too. I wonder if the same will apply to tower...

Same here in Colorado

Sad to say, but I suspect the days of tax-free web purchases are slowly coming to an end.

May as well order more from the LHS then & pay sales tax & plus free shipping ! Maybe it will help the Hobby shops !!

Idaho just passed the same law, not sure when it goes into effect, my LHS gets me better deals on most stuff anyway

Action Hobbies!!!

I heard Washington changed the sales tax, is that so?

The Taxation Department works directly with the companies affected by these changes.

Well they increased it. What’s new…

they started bout year ago charging sales tax here in south carolina!

Same here in Georgia. Seems everyone is charging sales tax these days.

Except of course in the free states that do not have a sales tax

Everybody started doing that about a year or 2 ago. If the state where the vendor is located has sales tax, you're gonna have to pay it. I only buy from Chief now, Oregon doesn't have sales tax.

It is not where the company is located, it’s not about HH or Chief, it’s about the elected representatives where you live that imposed this ridiculous thing called sales tax.

Can't argue with that!
