Why would you even consider buying it from QVC when it is available locally for less money?

Is it possible that the law was just changed in your state and it now requires taxes on S&H? I know where I live, our tax laws changed on October 1, and a lot of things that weren't previously taxable now are.

@hari.  Unless your state just recently passed a law, it has always been there.  You pay for the convenience of shopping online.  On the other hand, it's cheaper than gas.
