I also don't understand either. Sales tax is collected in the state such as if they have a business in the state, like a factory, office space, retail etc. No way they have that in every state. It's not a big deal since it's only a few bucks but I don't get they're reasoning, are they really going to pay the tax they're charging us to our state? Ipsy doesn't even charge tax and they're a US based company (w/ exception to a few states, including ny because they have an office here or something) I really hope it's not a way to just get more money from us for these boxes. I'm so glad I ordered 8-10 early and didn't have to deal with the tax they're charging. I wanted to see the outcome too but I couldn't wait, caved and bought the étude super box #4. Used some points I still had, otherwise $50 for a box seems like way too muchI'm so tempted to order, but am waiting for a resolution of the sales tax issue. Sales tax is customarily collected if the buyer and seller are in the same state. The sales tax isn't revenue- it's sent to the state. I can't fathom why buyers in different states (countries?) are being charged the same rate- if they're intending to overcomply and submit sales tax everywhere, they're overcharging/undercharging. I'm assuming it's a mistake, although a weird rookie one for a business. I'm hoping that they'll reimburse all the buyers who overpaid if that's the case.
