Is it easier to buy something out of a catalog over the phone? If that is still an option, then one way around this law is to use a web site to set up an order (fill your shopping cart, shipping details, etc). Then call the vendor to finalize the order. Of course, this would add to the cost of online purchases, since you'd have to pay for the person taking the call, but still it might be a work around.
