Cherry Hill's retail gravity centers on Cherry Hill Mall, and every register there rings the full 6.625% combined rate. The rate follows the transaction's sourcing, not the storefront's sign — three situations retailers here get wrong:

• In-store pickup vs. delivery: a picked-up order taxes at the store's rate; a delivered order follows New Jersey's sourcing rules to the customer's address
• Store locations near boundary lines: two branches of the same chain can sit in different local-tax jurisdictions — configure POS per location, never per brand
• Returns & exchanges: refund the tax actually charged at sale, even if the rate has since changed
