I bought an A7R from their US online store. They charged me tax.

Sadly, yes. Until I retire. Soon, I hope. ;-)Oh so you have a REAL job. LOL
I agree that it's easier to return stuff to Amazon, but they've become very problematic on shipping. I cannot tell them what shipper I want to use ... they set that themselves ... and the last three shipments to my address have been problems because they're using their own local shipper to get the job done. And they suck - no door tags, no contact information, things get dropped into the foyer of the building with no notice, or they're not delivered at all, etc. One time, two days after I'd given up on the purchase and reported it as "not delivered" to Amazon, I see this guy walking in the hall with a big Amazon box taking a drag on some weed...Actual Amazon is far easier on the return and 30 days, more important almost immediate refund. B&H you got 14 days and slow on the refund. I"ll do what I always do as B&H always pops some in on sale during first batch. I can't tell you how many times I did that trick
Makes me happy to be out of California...Sadly, yes. Until I retire. Soon, I hope. ;-)

stoner: "Hey man, you know where number 101 is?"
me: "That's my unit. Is this package for me?"
stoner: "Must be. Here."
me: "Don't you need me to sign for it?"
stoner: "Naa, it's cool."
me: "How'd you get into the building?"
stoner: "I followed some dude with a dog in when the door was open."
me: "I see. ..."
I won't buy from a vendor with such stupid delivery problems, it's not worth the hassle.
I buy from B&H, Adorama, and various others as well as good vendors on Ebay. FedEx, UPS, USPS always deliver properly. Never have as much trouble as I've been having with Amazon.

I wouldn't call it odd, Vivek.It is odd. when the Euro was strong, they sold the A7r/7here first. Now the $ is strong they sell it in the U.S. first. The new products aren't listed here and no prices are known.
Apparently so in ABQ. :-(Must have a Sony Style storefront in your state.

There is a price announced for Germany : 3'500 €, but for Switzerland, the price is to be fixed. Anyway, these prices (at least here) are always higher than what you get in real life. Only a few brick and mortar shops apply those "advised" prices.It is odd. when the Euro was strong, they sold the A7r/7here first. Now the $ is strong they sell it in the U.S. first.

That certainly makes Leica cams look economically quite attractive. Quite a feat!
