Cabelas is charging Sales tax

[tomgwarrior 9]

I just placed an order from Cabelas for ammo and I just noticed they charged sales tax on my order. Is this something new. I order from them often and this was the first time I was charge sales tax.

Looks like they have a store in Hamburg, so they have to charge NJ sales tax. Internet or not.

I wonder how long that's been there.

Pretty sure that's the Hamburg, PA store you're referring to...? Their website doesn't list a NJ store. Not sure why they would charge tax to the OP...? Perhaps a mistake. But, hmmm... didn't they merge with another chain? Maybe it has something to do with that - if they have "affiliated/sister" stores in NJ? Just a guess.

That’s Hambug Pa.  Bass pro is in AC and that merger went through 

[45Doll 5,877]

LOL, yes it's PA. When I looked on their store map I mistook the big green dot in NJ as the nearest store location. It wasn't. It was my house location with a route to Hamburg PA. I didn't bother to read the address.

More coffee please.

I just spoke to someone from Cabelas customer service and she stated since we have a Pro Bass shop in NJ they are now charging us sales tax. This started last month

Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, Dicks Sporting Goods, Gander Mountain ALL suck.

I noticed this year that B&H Photo started charging NJ tax on orders.  That's new, not sure why, as I didn't think they had a presence in NJ.

[tattooo 220]

I thought B&H is out if NYC ? Guess they have something here to charge tax.

[Zeke 5,504]

B&h was my go to for wife’s stuff. Well that sucks!

Yep Cabelas is now Bass Pro. So Sales tax is now charged to NJ residents with mail order.

Oh well this sucks! Luckily it's only about a 35 minute drive to Cabela's in Delaware for me.

How do you know that they may be pocketing the 6.85% If they are collecting sales tax they have to display their sales tax certificate.

.....and, as a good, law-abiding NJ resident, you are supposed to report your out-of-state purchases on your NJ 1040 and pay the 6.85% sales tax directly to NJ.

went to there website put scope 129.99 in cart went to check out sales tax was 9.96  still charging the 7%  sales tax should have been 8.90  Just sayi'n...

Math says they are charging the proper sales tax, just charging tax on the shipping.

From NJ Div Taxation:

As of October 1, 2006, delivery charges (shipping, handling, postage, etc.) are subject to tax if the goods purchased are subject to tax.

And tax is applicable because BPS and Cabelas merged.  Just electing to keep Cabelas name for now.  DBA so to speak.
