Palmetto State was the same way. once an internet store front sells enough in a state they have to pay taxes. it sucks, but i've been on that deal of the day email for over a year now, and i got in on a **** load of stuff without tax knowing that it would be coming sooner than later. their surefire lights are an awesome deal too.Yeah they are good to go, ordered several times and received within a few days. Agree on the tax thing, same reason I won’t order these either, they got me used to no taxes and now I don’t want to pay it lol. Not sure why they started charging it
