Retailer says new state law contradicts federal law.

Due to a new online sales tax law in South Dakota that took effect May 1, Blue Nile has halted business there for the foreseeable future, Internet Retailer reports. The article says that the law requires large online retailers to collect and remit sales tax, even if they don’t have a physical presence within the state.

“Unfortunately, South Dakota’s law is in direct contradiction to federal law, and we made the difficult decision to temporarily suspend shipping to South Dakota until this unconstitutional law can be addressed,” a spokesman for Blue Nile told the news outlet. “I can’t comment on specific sales figures, but we are disappointed we can no longer ship to our customers in South Dakota.”

Other online retailers may follow in Blue Nile’s footsteps, the article adds.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
