Subject: Tax exempt status at bn.com

Is anyone else out there being forced to jump through hoops at bn.com to 
prove their tax exempt status? 
I've had our university purchasing agent fax Barnes & Noble twice now 
our tax-exempt certificate. 
Now B&N is saying since the address on the tax exempt certificate and my 
address here on campus
do not match, they need an authorisation letter from the university 
saying that I can use the tax exemption.
I'm beyond frustrated!
