Beginning July 1st, TX sales tax is being collected by Amazon for items ordered from Amazon LLC. The Silver OM-D E-M5 w/12-50mm kit lens I ordered on June 29th was tax free; until it shipped Sunday July 1st, which caused $107.50 Texas Sales Tax to be added. Had I ordered earlier last week and it would have shipped on or before June 30th, then no TX sales tax would have been added.
Spent time on phone with Amazon today, finally received a pre-paid UPS shipping label with RMA to return OM-D E-M5 to them free of charge. The FL-300R was filled by 17th Street Photo, no sales tax, but it has to go back too; because camera and flash must be purchased together for Olympus rebate.
Going to be very hard not opening up the camera when it arrives Tuesday!!!!!!!! Instead, it will be carried to UPS for return.
