Website to order Coach bag without sales tax?

moppie2005 · Sep 30th, 2008, 05:52 PM

I know I'm really petty, but on a $500 bag, that's about $50 in taxes.

I'm located in New York, so there is tax at macy's, coach.com, bloomingdales, and Saks. Thanks a bunch :)

no, i don't think so. as long as there is a coach located in your state, you are taxed.

Afraid not. Best to just go to the store and get what you want so you don't have to pay the shipping and handling.
Delaware might still be a sales tax free state...if you happen to be nearby it might be time for some shopping!
The only tax-free states I know of are OR and DE. There may be some others.

I ordered a bag from Nordstrom's last night and only paid 8.00 in shipping - no tax. I was going to order the same bag from Macy's but didn't due to being charged tax!

Nordies has resonable shipping, but they do charge tax. It probably varies by state, but my order from them wasn't tax-free.

Probably the states with no Nordstroms stores can expect a tax-free shipment.

NH is tax-free too

Oregon is a tax free state! Do you have relatives there? LOL

Hmmmmmm...I always wondered how that worked! I don't get charged tax when I order directly from JAX or coach.com, either. I'm in WV.

NY taxes stink. There is no where you can order to avoid the tax. That said, you could try eBay.

The difference is whether there is a store in your state or not. Since Nebraska doesn't have a Nordies or Macy's I can order from them without having to pay tax.

Call Von Maur in Omaha 402-390-0381. They have a very large selection (better in fact than the local Coach boutique!), ships free and wouldn't charge you tax b/c they don't have stores in NY. They will also search other stores if they don't carry what you're looking for and just ship from that store. They also have an interest-free credit card so you can put your purchase on a 10 month contract and pay 1/10 of the balance each month until it's paid off. Good luck!!!

Coach.com does charge me tax. Do they have a Coach boutique in WV? If not, maybe that's how you get away with not being taxed.

Von Maur is online, but it doesn't look like they show the Coach items. Will they really ship from the store, and not hassle people about it? If so, I think I may have to look into that further.

TXCoachGirlie · Oct 1st, 2008, 01:02 AM

Hey, does Bloomingdale's carry Coach? They are not in TX, so I might be able to order tax free also!

Yes, Bloomies does carry Coach.

I am spoiled here in Florida.
We have Coach boutiques, Nordstrom, Bloomies, Saks, Macys, Lord and Taylor, Dillards AND outlets too!

I would be leary of ordering Coach online if it is from any site other than a reputable/big retailer...
