For all the complaints about US sales taxes (which are by state/locality) added at the time of purchase, at least you know exactly what you're paying in tax. I live in a tax-free state myself so I admit there's a certain element of "I wuz robbed" when I buy elsewhere, but I know what to expect. It's also why two of my sisters have their online purchases sent to my house. And ending up with a rant, albeit not a reading rant: their carp tends to pile up.
