I've ordered some things from there, and generally had a good experience, with
a few notes:

\- For large purchases at least, they are very scrupulous about sending tax
documents to your home state to make sure the sales tax gets paid. This is
probably a social good overall, but unusual for internet retailers and may
take some folks by surprise.

\- They follow a Jewish holiday schedule, including the Sabbath, and do not
take orders on the Sabbath (in New York's time zone, at least). Again, not a
negative, but unusual for modern businesses, especially online ones.

Last time I ordered from them, I think they collected the sales tax. I'm not
sure when this started; I am a long-time customer but they're not a store I
tend to purchase from frequently.

I like them overall and I tend to prefer using them to Amazon for AV type of
purchases.

Doesn't just about everywhere collect sales tax online now?

BHPhotoVideo is my go-to place for tech and music stuff. I got their
affiliated payboo credit card that pays the sales tax for you, saves me that
10% on every order.
