We have been having just this problem with an order. They want us to pay tax, saying that because they are producing on demand we are not tax exempt, or that they have to charge tax. The matter has gone to the university lawyers, where I imagine it will sit indefinitely. I decided to revendor my order with Movies unlimited (www.moviesunlimited.com<http://www.moviesunlimited.com> ) who charge the same price as the Warner site. The Turner Classic Movies website also has a shop with the same prices, but don't seem to carry all the titles.
Jeff Univ of Michigan Ann Arbor From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Karsten, Eileen Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 9:46 AM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] WB Archive Dear CW, Has anybody been able to order DVDs from the Warner Archive without paying tax? I have been trying to order a DVD from them for months, but the order form does not allow me to tell them I am tax exempt. I sent them an e-mail to ask them how I could order from them and include a tax exempt number. They responded saying they needed more information which I gave them. When I did not hear back, I e-mailed them again and they did not answer this e-mail. Now, I have a request for a second title which is in their archive. I see that Amazon is selling the WB archive titles through their site, but they charge more for them. I will be greatly appreciated any help with this problem.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
