Ordered half dozen items in Xl shirt sizes and 34 in waist pants. IMO, it was a good sale and items I needed were included.
I’m sure Amazon and Kuiu both know the law. Your case study is a little lacking. Amazon, Kuiu, Backcountry, Classicfirearms charge me tax. Midwayusa, budsgunshop, rockymountainatvmc don’t charge me tax. If I ship to MO, Kuiu doesn’t charge me tax. Amazon still does. Sales tax nexus might explain it.I ordered stuff all the time without paying tax. Amazon is a pretty big company. I think they know the laws.

What did you see specifically that was marked up? I don’t follow all there gear but all the stuff I’ve had my eye on for over a year or so didn’t increase in price before this sale.
I ordered the Kutana Hybrid jacket. I knew the original price of 209. I was busy at work when I heard of the sale. I did a quick check and saw the jacket for 155. When I got home , I went to order and it came up as on sale for somewhere around 250 (I don’t remember exactly). I thought I was looking at the wrong item. I looked up the jacket on my iPad , next to my phone, and clicked on the banner that popped up for the biggest sale of the year. The items were identical but $100 different in price. I ended up ordering the jacket for a good price. I would have bought the jacket for the original $209 because I think it’s worth it. Kuiu offers a good product at a fair price. I just think some of their marketing tactics are a little shady.

I ordered what I wanted for a 20 percent off. You have to be careful with them. When I went on there site, everything was marked up $100. The sale prices were higher than the normal retail prices. When I clicked on the sale pop up, the real prices came up. I really like their clothes, but I think they’re kind of a shady company. They also charged me sales tax. My $156 purchase ended up being $179. I live in Illinois, and am pretty sure there isn’t a Kuiu store here. I always thought you only pay sales tax if there’s a retail store in your state. Gotta wonder if they just keep the money they’re charging for tax.

Prior to adding a pair of pants to my cart I clicked on the size chart. It indicates to measure where pants on normally worn on the hips. My tape measured 43 (against skin like the page says), yet all my pants are 38 or 40! I can even squeeze into a pair of broken in jeans with a 36 waist if I have to! I'm 6' 2" 240-245.
I happened to have created a spreadsheet May 12 of this year; in it I listed items of interest and their prices. Those prices match the prices listed on the site today *before the mark-down for the sale*. I'm not sure how you came up with "...everything was marked up $100.". Post a link to an item you found to be marked up.When I went on there site, everything was marked up $100. The sale prices were higher than the normal retail prices.
I'm not criticizing - I simply posted to get some guidance. The issue is if I go by their instructions they don't have have a waist big enough for me, their sizes go up to 42. I just find it hard to believe that I am bigger than their biggest size. I am not fat. Again, 6' 2" 240-245. No doubt there are many people that are bigger than me - that also are not fat. I guess I need to pull up sizing threads to not clutter this one any more.So is the tape measure or Kuiu's sizing what we are criticizing here? I'm just wondering lol. Well known that pant sizes generally are smaller in number than the actual measurement.

Haha. I don't skip leg day. I've learned just to size up in the waist and then pay a tailor $8. Kuiu still makes my favorite pants.I actually find the sizing in the calves and thighs to be more off putting than the waist on some sizes. I’m not sure how anyone who has ever made a leg day can wear some of the pants haha
