Tax Free Weekend Aug 14/15
You will be soon fielding calls about Massachusetts’s upcoming tax free weekend. Here is information to help you with these questions.
The IT Help Center will NOT be participating in the tax free weekend. The reason is simple; we are closed on the weekends. Of course, customers are going to want a little better answer than that.
Why are we not open on the weekends?
The IT Help Center is designed to be open when classes are in session. Therefore, except for move-in weekend we are not open on Saturday or Sunday.
What if I place an online order on your website?
All orders for software from the IT Help Center must first be verified by a staff member to insure eligibility. In other words, even if the order was placed on the weekend, it would not be processed until Monday, and therefore would not be eligible for the tax exemption.
What about computer purchases?
The e-commerce sites linked off our website are maintained by their respective manufacturers. Clients should contact them directly.
Apple: 1-800-MY-APPLE
Dell: 1-877-236-8657
Lenovo: 1-877-222-6426 Ext. 4213
