Actually, this is a disadvantage. If they didn't have a retail location in
my state, I could avoid paying the 5% sales tax. As a result, I try to
avoid mail order firms that have retail stores in my state, especially on
big purchases such as computers and equipment where the tax could be
significant $$$.
