a Friend sent me a link and told me what to do.

But I am guessing they will cancel it but hopefully not.

Their tax calculator is messes up, its charging sales tax on the shipping charge.
Is the company based in Jersey? Anybody else being charged tax?

Just emailed their customer support about a separate shipping issue, and got the following automated reply, which would seem to imply that it's for real (also seems that lots of people wanted to double check that it's for real):

We have received your inquiry, due to the overwhelming success of a recent promotion of one of our most popular products, we are experiencing extremely high volumes of email and telephone inquiries. You are very important to us and we will respond as soon as possible. If you participated in this exclusive promotion, please be assured your item is reserved for you and will ship as soon as possible. Your tracking number will be emailed, once the pkg has shipped.

Yes. 35 cents.

Sounds promising until you realize you aren't legitimately part of the "exclusive promotion." (Or, at least I wasn't.)

Makes me wonder if I should have chosen a quicker shipping method.

For NJ .35 cents is correct amount bec 7% of $5 is .35.
My problem with that is
A) there shouldn't be a tax charge on a shipping charge, and
B) if its shipping from out of state there shouldn't be sales tax.

You should call up and complain that they have the audacity to charge (an improper) 35 cent tax on an a $100 item you are getting for free after the illegitimate use of a $100 coupon.
