I am looking at item 222846989381 - Large Mailbox

Item is in Ohio, shipping to me in Texas.

I go to checkout, and they want $5.93 sales tax.

What is up with that??

Hayneedle has a store in Texas. If that's where you live, you have to pay sales tax.

Does the seller live in Texas or have some physical presence there?
