True... Geri.
Believe it's 9.5% here in TN. Imagine nearly .10 cents on everything Tennesseans, and others, buy.
I go out of state on major cost items such as 230 yards of carpeting recently.
If one picks-up in Dalton, GA, one has to pay their sales tax.
BUT, I had mine shipped via Averett Exp for $96.00 with ZERO sales tax. Saved about $300.00.
BTW, Becklers is best carpet outlet in Dalton. Been buying from them for years. Saved thousands.
Plus, they sell all kinds of wood flooring, vinyl / tile flooring ect for half, what I could buy it for in Maryville.
Their [Becklers] webs site is: http://www.carpetsales.com
