Dear CW, Has anybody been able to order DVDs from the Warner Archive without paying tax? I have been trying to order a DVD from them for months, but the order form does not allow me to tell them I am tax exempt. I sent them an e-mail to ask them how I could order from them and include a tax

I think your best option is to find a different place to purchase these items. Movies Unlimited carries a good chunk them, as does Midwest Tapes and of course Amazon. I believe these companies are a little slow in getting the latest WB archive releases into their databases but they eventually

Since we are a state institution, we are prohibited from paying sales tax. We have two options when a company can't/won't honor our tax exempt status - 1. have a staff member or friend purchase the title(s) personally and pay the tax, then donate the title(s) to our library; 2. don't buy the

We have been having just this problem with an order. They want us to pay tax, saying that because they are producing on demand we are not tax exempt, or that they have to charge tax. The matter has gone to the university lawyers, where I imagine it will sit indefinitely. I decided to revendor

Even for private universities the tax issue can be a problem. You might also consider asking your regular video vendor to place the order on your behalf, though I'm not sure whether the resulting handling fee ultimately will be cheaper than purchasing the DVDs from Amazon. We've done that on

Why do you not go through some one like Action media. Explain the situation to them, pay them with a PO and have them just bundle the tax into the price they quote you. You are not paying TAX then you are merely paying a purchaser the cost of the item. That way you do not have to wait until

This is very unfortunate. The WB archive is doing what all movie buffs wish all studios would, make available a huge number of rare often important films. The only way they can do this is a bare bones operation in terms of both the DVD ( not extras DVD-R for now) and selling ONLY directly and
