Everyone outside of New York, New Jersey and Ohio don't pay for sales tax on their online ESPRIT purchases. ESPRIT often runs free shipping promos (and always ships free to APO/FPO addresses when the order total is $30 or more). You can get an even better deal though when you join the ESPRIT club. Membership in the ESPRIT club entitles you to 5% discounts on every purchase and invitations to "exclusive savings".
When you make a purchase at an ESPRIT store, you'll receive a temporary card. When you make a purchase online, you will be prompted during checkout to join the ESPRIT club. When you do, you will be thanked during your checkout process You can take this temporary card and register online to officially start your membership in the ESPRIT club. When you first sign up, your password will be equivalent to your birth date: you can change this at any time.
Every e-point awarded to you on your ESPRIT Membership account is worth one nickel. Whenever your points balance reaches 125 e-points ($6.05 value), ESPRIT will send you a voucher for the point balance that you can redeem at any ESPRIT store displaying the ESPRIT club symbol.
