No sir .... we do not ....

Depending on what the material/product is classified as ... there are certain brokerage fee's involved.

My shipment of liquid I had to pay at tobacco tax on to have it released ....

They have different taxes though that are levied by the state rather than government VAT. For instance you could by an item of clothing in Boston and pay no extra tax but by the same item in New York or LA and pay around 9% tax on it, its weird

awwww.... State Sales Tax ...

There are a couple states (i think Nevada being one, and perhaps Massachusetts being the other ) that don't have a State Sales Tax. Most other states have some form of sales tax that gets added to each purchase. If you live in New York, and buy something from California lets say online, you don't have to pay the state sales tax because you are out of state. However, states are starting to enforce what's known as a "Use Tax" That means, although you may have purchased something out of state, you still have to pay tax to the state you live in

Quite ridiculous in my eyes .... but it is, what it is ....

ahh i see,

well i dont wanna take bread from the table of my suppliers, they have to make a living from it just as we all do in one way or another. i would like to know what a supplier pays for a 15ml bottle of generic, we'll never know that tho...

I just find it hard to look at a 30ml bottle and think ' man, that's 20 quid there '

for me e-smoking works out very close if not more expensive than the 5 x 50gram pouches of baccy i used to get duty free every 4 weeks at £27 a time.

£27 whats that ? one 50ml bottle of generic juice. i'll have to get one and see how long that would last. Cost wasnt the reason for me , a healthier alternative was my reasoning.
But like everything , we'd all like to see things cheaper.

Oregon and Montanna both don't have sales tax unless Oregon recently changed. Montanna does not have it for sure.

Alaska not only has no sales tax, they have no personal income tax, AND they distribute a share of state oil money every year, as much as $2000 per person some years.

I am offically moving to Alaska, nope too cold... Guess they have to have some kind of incentive to get people to move there.
