In most/all states that have sales tax, you are supposed to report out of state purchases and pay taxes on them, as Michael H scrupulously does in VT. People who order out of state to avoid taxation are breaking the law, though enforcement is almost non-existent. I have had customers ask me for discounts to offset the tax they'd save (illegally) by ordering out of state - of course, that doesn't save me from having to pay the tax at the end of the month...
As a small operation that does some mail order, I don't care to file sales tax returns on every out of state sale. Compliance would be much less complicated if it was just a federal alternative sales tax. Let the IRS sort out which states get the $$$.
