Drs Foster Smith charging sales tax?

[michey1st]

Sooooo, Drs Foster Smith is having a sitewide sale for Memorial Day (10% off), so I thought I would take advantage and buy my new pond liner. I get to checkout and notice they are charging sales tax... hello extra $20 A quick google search shows that Petco bought them late last year.

Mixed feelings --- their liner is still the cheapest I have found with free shipping, but daaaaaaaaaang.

Yep saw that, darn, since amazon moved into baltimore a lot of net places are doing sales tax now, for maryland buyers

Yeah... I died a little inside when I saw that Amazon started charging sales tax last year. Boo hiss......

They still have not hit us with sales tax .I wonder when that will happen .Have you checked ebay prices

 

[addy1]

I check prices everywhere before I buy anything. Amazon, quite often, is the most expensive. Ebay varies a lot between the best deal to horrible. Same with all the online stores. Have to do your research.

yep spent 3 months to find best deal on pumps and then lucked out on air pump .I was looking them up for price and bottom of page showed better deals on laguna one so grabbed it from wayfair free shipping no tax

I was so disappointed when Petco purchased Fosters and Smith I hope their great customer service doesn't go down the tubes.

It's a 20 x 25 liner. I actually ended up buying it from pondliner.com -- I've purchased and gotten wonderful advice from them before, and was thrilled when they offered me a price break. Super happy camper over here!!!!

I'm probably the minority but I don't mind paying state sales tax. The state I live in is better than 10 Billion in the hole. They have to fix it somehow and I prefer it to be sales tax over income tax.
