This suggests possibly that WB doesn't have any physical quarters in New York (which is difficult to believe) or Connecticut but that they do have some sort of presence in Illinois. As far as I know, companies are not required to collect sales tax on internet sales if they don't have a bricks-and-mortar presence of any sort in the state where the buyer resides (or is having the item shipped to?) although a lot of companies collect it regardless. Of the ones that don't, a non-tax exempt buyer is responsible for paying the sales tax directly to their local tax entity, although most do not do so.

I went on the WB archive web site went through the motions of ordering and it did not charge any sales tax. I live in NYC, so hard to imagine they would charge Illinois. Did you actually attempt an order and get charged tax ? Anyone else order from them directly outside of CA and get charged 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.
