Um, no. If a customer orders from L.L. Bean and the item is shipped to Maine, customer pays sales tax on it. Period. There was a time that L. L. Bean did not put stores in sales tax states to avoid sales tax issues (I worked there during that time), but I am pretty sure that policy was abandoned .

As others have said, once L. L. Bean gives the package to UPS, it is subject to the shipper's logistics. It can be amusing to watch the shipping updates.

Um actually I just ordered from LL Bean and I paid no tax on it. Also Sharks are smooth both ways, I'm petting one right now and it's smooth.

Maine, which used to be Massachusetts. See that's the trick, Maine was never officially made a state, because during the swearing in, Maine had it's fingers crossed. Cant have state tax if there's no state!

I don't use a crack dealer. It's a two-way street that both of us are happy to drive.
