It is always a problem with the people willing to pay shipping but not tax. Do
they really hate the state that much or??? Shipping items are certainly more
than the sales tax at times or close enough that it shouldn't matter. This is
another reason internet sales sites are panicked at the thought of having to
pay taxes to states where they do business if they don't have a location in
that state.
