Any retailer with a NC nexus, online or otherwise, is required to collect and render NC sales taxes on all taxable goods and services delivered to a NC address. All NC retailers are required to collect and render ONLY the legally due NC sales taxes. Therefore any online retailer with a NC nexus is REQUIRED BY LAW to honor the tax-free holiday rates on taxable sales.

If the online site is in NC yes it qualifies. In addition, however, most sites in every state do not add sales tax

If HP does not have any type of presences in NC the tax free day would not apply. However, if that is the case HP will not charge you sales tax anyway as they are not required to do so for sales in any state in which they do not have a nexus.

Call them and ask. Tax probably still applies if it otherwise would be taxable and is bought online.
