Are online prices final where you live? (8 Viewers)

Hey.

I'm a new member and I already spent what feels like dozens of hours here, learning about everything there is to learn and I can't wait to learn even more.
For now, I'm really trying to wait until I spend a couple of weeks reading through everything before I start building my collection to avoid making mistakes.

One small challenge moving forward is the fact that I'm based in Europe, and it seems that when it comes to pretty much anything poker related, it can't compare to the US, as the amount of options combined with cheaper prices is next level.

Which made me wonder, when you guys want to order something online, is the price of the item the final price that you actually pay (not counting shipping)?
Or is there some tax or something which brings the final price higher?
I'm asking because in my country, what you see online is always the final price, but I know that for you guys, taxes work differently, as for example when you go grocery shopping, the final price is higher because the tax is added when you go to pay.

PCF is TAX FREE baby! In essence, we are shipping bundles of money back and forth unreported and uninsured

Depends on your state, some states collect sales tax on online purchases and some do not. Of course, purchases you make on a forum like PCF can't be tracked or taxed.

Jurisdictions can and will levy tax at any possible point, whether on initial purchase, or receipt in country, based on the laws in the originating and destination countries.

The price you see on the screen is almost never the "final" price.

I was mainly trying to figure out if it makes sense to buy stuff in the US and have it shipped to a fellow member, who would then re-ship it overseas...but it might not be that simple if the price you see online is not the final one, plus there's the overseas shipping of course.

Alright, you gave me a lot to think about guys, thanks.

Well, it depends on what you mean by "online". On the checkout page at latest, when choosing the delivery address/state, you'll see how much taxes and shippings will come to.
