Made a purchase from a so called reputable seller with many items at just below (reasonably) or with free shipping and they cover taxes. I got four fairly timed emails from them with updates on shipping, they were from what seemed to be an out the the normal shipping address with very slow tracking (the shipping company is Ship24 out of china) which finally gave a confirmed delivery to a P. O. Box in Honolulu, Hawaii. I would advise not to use ArtFire for online purchases and I apologize to the legitimate companies that may be on there.
