    hi! I'm in florida now and soon will be moving to LA, California! and my experience is that I have a US mail address in FL and when ordering online usually they do NOT charge taxes while they do in CA! don't know about AW though I've heard some people got taxed!

    does AW charges taxes in florida? I want to order before it's too late!

    Always nice to meet other Floridian's on this forum! Well I was charged tax from my online purchase through Dell. Ordering from FL has it's perks though as you get special clauses in the Warranty. ;)

    it's really nice to meet floridian's too, I'm really going to miss this place, it sucks to move :(
    and I believe it's 6.5%

    either way I'm going to have to search for another brand..*sigh* I'm going to miss the 6990m and go for the lame GTX560m :(

    You can always call Dell and haggle the price. They will usually discount it enough to where the Tax(7%) doesn't even factor. Worth a shot! :)

    Atleast your taxes go towards good things. Ours just goto corporations and rich people. :(
