My Indecisiveness Has Paid Off

Jordan2 — Sun, 08 Sep 2019 15:14:48 GMT

When it comes to making purchases, it doesn't matter if inexpensive or expensive, I always over think it. Many times I have buyer's remorse. It paid off for me today! I was looking at a pair of boots yesterday, wasn't sure about purchasing them. Today is free shipping, so I bought them (I live in New York City so no tax on clothing). I would have been so annoyed if I bought them yesterday and had to pay for shipping ( QVC should do the free shipping more often).

Enjoy your new boots.

Jordan2 i am the same way , i am terrible at making decisions on purchases it doesn't make any difference if it is $20 or $2.000. I have passed up TSV's and bought it the next day at the slightly higher price.

@halfpint1 I certainly have never heard of no clothing TAX in NYC - I can tell you the rest of us in NY get taxed. Some confusion ...........................

There is no sales tax on an item of clothing or footwear that costs less than $110. An item of clothing or footwear that costs $110 or more is subject to the full 8.875% tax rate.

I live in one of the five boroughs, when I order online I am not charged tax (I never shop in the five boroughs, no tax if I did). I do shop in stores in Nassua County, I am charged tax.

I can't tell you how many times I have bought and immediately have cancelled TSVs (I am an impulse buyer), I don't know what's wrong with me! I will have remorse if I buy, or if I don't.

@Jordan2. Yeah, it depends where you live in NY. Very confusing. I think my county is the same as yours. I buy in NJ.

I am at the other end of the state from NYC and we most certainly get taxed on clothing. My county also has a high sales taxes.

I have seen a few noce pairs of shoes lately but didn’t purchase because the $5.50 shipping for shoes is quite high, especially considering free shipping one shoes is quite common elsewhere but I may give them another look today.

@fthunt

We haven't had a tax on clothing in NYC for years.

I think I read somewhere that there are other counties that have no tax on clothing.

Most counties in NY still charge their sales tax which is usually around 4%. My countie of course still charges the tax. I think only a handful have followed along with the state exemption.

@Jordan2

Huh! New York City has no tax on clothing! Surprises me as here in my Midwest City, no such thing, as far as I know. Heck, I pay City taxes and I don't even live in the City. Worst part, I pay their taxes, but can't vote for anything or anyone City.

And here I thought both the farthest East and the farthest West big cities taxed about e everything people buy, and/or use!

There is a tax on ALL clothing over $110.00 and it is 8.75% in New York City.

I think one of the reasons they eliminated thel clothing tax in NYC is because NJ had no clothing tax and many people went there to shop instead. It was a way of keeping the $'s in NY at NY businesses.
