**Dear Valued Newegg Customer,** [/LEFT]

As a result of recent changes in New York State tax law requiring certain out-of-state retailers to collect and remit sales taxes to the State of New York, we began collecting applicable sales tax for all orders shipped to New York addresses starting June 1, 2008.

After careful review and consideration, we are pleased to inform you that we have stopped collecting New York sales tax, effective August 21, 2008. This decision was driven by your direct and candid feedback and our continued commitment to you as our valued customers.

```
        We appreciate your patience as we worked through this process, and would like to reiterate our commitment in offering our customers the broadest product selection, competitive pricing, fastest shipping, and award-winning customer service.

```

We look forward to continuing to provide you with the premier online shopping experience for all of your IT and consumer electronics needs.

```
          Sincerely,
          
          <b>Bernard Luthi</b>
            Newegg.com
          Company Spokesperson and
          Vice President of Merchandising
```

Try and get a refund from them, or just return it defective (a flight of stairs will aid in this) and then rebuy it without the tax.

:bigclap:

Pissed that I just bought a 500gb drive from them though. Not over the $6, but over the fact that NY got it by passing a law that violates established case law.
