Ohio Tax Holiday: Shop Tax‑Free with Free PostFromUS Address
Ohio’s 2025 Sales Tax Holiday runs from 12:00 a.m. on Friday, August 1 through 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, August 14. During this two-week event, nearly all tangible personal property priced at $500 or less is exempt from both state and local sales taxes. Exclusions include motor vehicles, watercraft, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, vapor products, marijuana products, and services.
The expansion of the holiday now covers a wide range of goods—clothing, electronics, furniture, kitchenware, sports equipment, plants, instructional materials and more—as long as each item is $500 or less.
Why This Matters for International Shoppers
If you're shopping from outside the U.S., you typically miss out on state-level tax holidays. But PostFromUS removes that barrier by offering a free Ohio address. Buying during the tax holiday and shipping to our address in Ohio means no Ohio sales tax, maximizing your savings.
Here’s how the process works: create a free PostFromUS account and receive your personal Ohio shipping address.
Then, during August 1–14, shop at U.S. retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. At checkout, use your Ohio address to ensure your items qualify for the tax exemption at purchase time—even if delivery occurs later.
Once your parcels arrive at our Ohio warehouse, we alert you. We offer services including package consolidation, inspection, long-term storage, and reliable international shipping. All of this combines to reduce overall costs while ensuring your items get to you efficiently.
What Items Qualify
Any tangible personal item priced at $500 or less during the holiday is eligible. That includes:
- Clothing, footwear, and accessories
- Electronics like tablets, small computers, TVs
- Furniture, kitchen gadgets, home appliances
- Sports and fitness gear
- Plants, decor, and instructional supplies
- Meals served in restaurants and other qualifying goods
Shipping and handling charges for qualifying items are also exempt. When orders include both taxable and exempt items, the retailer must prorate tax on shipping.
Why PostFromUS Gives You an Edge
International shoppers gain full access to U.S. tax breaks and retail prices with no long-term commitment. Our free Ohio address gives you the same tax savings as Ohio residents while using services designed to reduce your shipping costs and streamline delivery. There are no hidden fees—just pay for the services you choose.
Even outside of the holiday, our consolidation and shipping options help you manage customs and shipping fees, deliver packages faster, and shop multiple U.S. stores with ease.

How to Make the Most of the Tax Holiday
- Sign up for PostFromUS and get your free Ohio address.
- Starting August 1, begin shopping at U.S. retailers using your address.
- Choose qualifying items priced at $500 or less.
- Ship your purchases to your PFUS Ohio address.
- We consolidate, inspect, and ship your order worldwide—tax-free.
Retailers often offer extra promotions during this event, so combining store sales with the tax exemption can lead to substantial savings. Ensure you order early in the holiday window to maximize the two-week period.
Avoid These Mistakes
Only items priced at $500 or less per unit qualify. Bundling items into one large transaction doesn’t change that. Retailers must not split single units to meet the threshold.
Shipping exemptions apply item-by-item. If your order includes a mix of taxable and exempt items, only the portion related to the exempt goods is tax-free .
The Bottom Line
Ohio’s two-week expanded Sales Tax Holiday represents a rare chance to save on almost all tangible goods under $500. By pairing this event with a free Ohio address from PostFromUS, international shoppers can unlock the same savings that U.S. buyers enjoy. Whether you're outfitting your home, upgrading electronics, buying back-to-school supplies, or refreshing your wardrobe, this is the opportunity to shop smarter.
