Except discontinued stones, I don't courage to buy VCA from Real Real, since the discount was not great, only $300-500 after tax. Do you know VCA doesn't collect tax for jewelry sent to a few states? So the different of VCA being without tax and second hand pieces is not much, but you get whole deal and know your pieces are authentic. I know for sure they sell fake Chanel handbags (The logo CC with left side C on the top), did a favor to call them letting them know, but they ignored and continued to display
Unfortunately, with the change in law, I believe all VCA boutiques are now collecting sales tax, unless you live in a state that doesn’t have sales tax.
We are not on the same page. For example I am living in Texas, but if I can send my purchase to Alaska for which VCA doesn't collect tax (of course that person has to send back for you if it is yours). SA gave me the list, guess what Virginia is one of those (I thought Virginia does have sale tax as well as the physical boutique)
I purchase from the NY flagship and have my items delivered to me. They did not collect sales tax until this past December when they did it for the first time.
Which state did it delivered to? I just said 2 of them: Alaska and Virginia which VCA doesn't collect tax for THEM
Washington, but it doesn’t matter. If the state itself collects sales tax, VCA will now also collect sales tax, regardless of whether there is a VCA boutique in that state or not, including Alaska and Virginia.
i just randomly tested a purchase with vca.com and entered an address to Alaska. There is no sales tax charged to ship to Alaska. However I tried with another address in Virginia and sales tax appeared.
Washington state is not on the list that VCA doesn't collect tax ( the list has about 10 states). I don't want to reveal too much which may cause my SA trouble even there is nothing illegal about it, but believe it or not is up to you. Since I know about it in this year, I have been filling my VCA wishlist quickly and avoid to buy from preloved ones since I can save on tax
I have not tried to send to Virginia, so I don't know it will be charged tax or not, but that's what my SA told me and gave me the list. I put order a blue agate necklace last month, when it arrives, it will be sent to someone I know in Virginia, so let's see.
Even though the boutique doesn’t collect the tax (in those particular states), I’m fairly certain that you (the buyer) are supposed to still file.
