Check their store locations on the web. Maybe there is one in a city you are
visiting. Unfortunately, NY is not one of them.

Places that do mail order have an incentive to only have retail
locations in no-sales-tax states. If they have a retail location in a
state, they have to charge the sales tax for all mail orders to that
state. That will increase their sales.

For example, Mass has a 5% sales tax on most items. NH has none. Quite
a few companies have nothing in Mass, but retail outlets just over the
border.

Note that NY City has a 3% sales tax on top of the 5% NY State-wide
sales tax.

Happy trails,
