what sucks here, but is nice here, is those of us that did the first PO did not get free 1 day shipping... NOW they offer it??? I want free 1 day shipping on my PO from 1 month ago :(

Just chat with one of the reps. Yesterday, when only the Champagne model was back up - it offered the free one-day shipping. I just chatted with a CSR and she removed my $3.99 charge.

Thanks for the heads up I like free one day shipping and no taxes I just wonder when I will get it!

How do you guys get tax free purchases from Amazon?

This is what my order looks like...

Items:$499.99Shipping & Handling:$17.98Free Shipping:-$17.98Total Before Tax:$499.99Estimated Tax To Be Collected:$47.50


Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Ah. So apparently Washington is 1 of only 5 freaking states that Amazon charges tax. I hate living here. Ugh. haha

Amazon must have some kind of facility on your state. Typically (note I said typically - it's not 100%) the online places only charge sales tax in states in which they have a physical presence. Newegg charges tax as noted on their website: "Newegg charges the appropriate state and/or local sales tax for any order shipping to California, New Jersey, and Tennessee." I know Newegg has facilities in these three states, as I have had orders from them that shipped from all three states.

via chat they just told me, oddly, "I see that the order is a special order and we'll send you a estimated delivery date once we have the item from the supplier."

that was for a 2nd one I ordered today that just \opened up. Odd response.

I just chatted with a representative from Amazon, too, and was told that they simply don't know when they're expecting more shipments. I ordered mine (Champagne, 64GB) yesterday, so I'm sure I'm near the bottom of the list. I doubt I'll see mine until 2012...
