The reason I ask is I am starting to buy parts for my GTO and I am debating on purchasing parts from NH and avoiding paying some sales tax here in MA or should I just buy from places like Jegs/Summit and pay shipping?
I would be driving to NH to pick up parts

 

No sales tax in NH.

 

Ok, then I know I only get charged Sales Tax from businesses based here in MA.

If I buy from Jegs/Summit/or other vendors OUTSIDE the state, no sales tax, but there is Shipping. MA has a sales tax of 5% I believe.

Shipping is usually less than 5% correct?

Think it is worth my while to drive up to NH to buy parts or just say the hell with it and have it shipped to me?

 

If you drive to NH you have gas, tolls, and whatever other "soft" expnses you incur. It really depends on what you are buying, how heavy/big it is, and what the price is... Price out what you want at Summit/Jegs/Keystone and then call some places in NH and compare. Personally, if the local places are "close" in price I usually buy local.

 

I think shipping is $7 from summit, unless its an oversized part

my strut tower brace had additional shipping charges but it was only like 5 bucks on top of the 7 so it wasn't too bad, i don't know of many shops around here that have prices anywhere close to those of summit or jegs
