Quoted from yotaxi125:Hi Rick,Just received my invoice and was surprised to see that I will be charged shipping from Chicago. I was counting on picking up the machine from pps since I live locally since I will already be incurring 700 dollars in sales tax.I'm not sure if this is commonplace but I did think this was a bit unfair (btw I do appreciate the bias here) to get slapped with that shipping charge as I would normally have avoided such a charge from any other sale. Just thought I would ask for the rationale here.
Why would you have to pay sales tax unless you ordered from an in-state distributor(in which case, oops)? Having to pay both in-state sales tax and out-of state shipping seems like the worst of both worlds.
