1. If I was the NH company, I'd ignore the C&D letter

Massachusetts has no right to tell an NH company they can't mail to MA residents.

This is posturing and will be slapped down if it goes to court. Phantom Fireworks is not a large company and the MA AG is betting that they won't have the resources to fight it.

Her complaint should be with the MA residents who purchase the fireworks LEGALLY in NH then transport them ILLEGALLY back into the Bay state and set them off.

I lived in Nashua, NH for over 20 years and it was simply a fact that MA residents flocked across the state line to dodge sales tax (MA 6-8%, NH 0%), buy cheap alcohol and cigarettes (15-20% less), and of course fireworks.

Even politicians,
Westport’s Rep. Rodrigues caught buying alcohol at tax-free N.H. store
