Youre probably right, I haven't actually looked into the taxes. I plan on taking a trip to the States in 2018, can't wait. Maybe San Francisco, Vegas, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite National Park and Yellowstone. Hopefully would be able to squeeze a couple of outlet visits in between.Yes, KS is quite a bit more expensive there I realized that when friends/family from the UK come here and splurge. With the duties/taxes I'd assume the outlets there and the surprise sale prices are approximately the same? I know that's the case for Canada at the moment, hence I prefer to go to the outlet.
