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 title(s) - which has happened on a few occasions.

Eileen,
They are not really set up for institutional ordering and their prices
are cheap. Also the regularly have 25% off sales.
I would just eat the tax, but if you want I will check with a friend
of mine there.

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 exempt number. They responded saying
they needed more information which I gave them. When I did not
hear back, I e-mailed them again and they did not answer this
e-mail. Now, I have a request for a second title which is in
their archive. I see that Amazon is selling the WB archive titles
through their site, but they charge more for them. I will be
greatly appreciated any help with this problem.
Sincerely,

communication between libraries,educational institutions, and
video producers and distributors.
