So get that tax-free shopping in now, California. :0
I was going to hem and haw and try one size of boots at a time, but when DH reminded me about this, I just ordered both sizes straight away. They are also offering 20% off when you sign up for shoe/clothing emails. So for me it was kind of like a 30% off sale... who was I to argue?

Also Amazon owns ShopBop. I found that out when I first ordered from there and couldn't figure out why I was be charged sales tax. Amazon headquarters are in Seattle, FYI.

Oh, so glad I got my booties last week.

Thanks for the heads up! I had no idea Amazon wasn't collecting sales tax on my purchases (just went back and checked). Guess I'll be doing some shoe shopping myself.

I think in theory they should collect sales tax so I will be gladly paying up (in fact I don't order much from them) but I understand the desire to save as well. Thanks for heads up - I didn't know they had agreed to do this.

I had heard this might be happening. Frankly I've thought the same as Christianne for a long time- kind of thought the tax from amazon could eradicate our national debt. I shop there ALOT.
I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
