Think you are wrong on this one. We are publicly traded (OTCBB:OTEN) so we may be under tighter scrutiny, but I have a CPA in house and I am assured that any sale within NY needs to be taxed regardless of our Delaware incorporation. I am told what matters is the shipping address. One solution is setting up a warehouse (3rd party drop shipper) out of state to ship our NY orders so we don't have a problem. but that may have liability ramifications as well.

recommendation to AllAmerican2003 is to speak to a certified accountant to be sure...state tax audits are brutal, happen quite often and can destroy your business.
