I almost ordered a stroller on babysrus.com and the tax was never calculated. I didn't do the last step of the ordering process, so maybe it was to be calculated at the end.
Is there tax on strollers? And what is the sales tax in NJ? 6 or 7%? This makes me sound so unintellegent.....I'm sorry! I'm trying to figure out how much my friends owe me if I order it and we split the price!

Sales tax rules are set by state, but items like baby strollers are taxed in most if not all states that have a sales tax.. When you order something online, you might or might not pay sales tax on it. If the company you order from has a physical presence in your state, they charge you sales tax if you're buying an item that is taxable. Since most places have a Babies R Us retail store, you'd pay sales tax on it in most places, and yes, the sales tax probably would be calculated at the end of the ordering process. NJ sales tax is 7%. Your questions don't sound unintelligent at all, by the way!

Judy is correct.
Also, when in doubt if sales tax is going to be calculated on an order, assume that it will be added unless you see that its not. This way, when you split the cost of something, you can tell them that you over-estimated the total cost rather than under-estimate the total cost.
