How Taxes are Calculated and Collected

A single ZIP code can have multiple sales tax rates; even neighboring houses in the same ZIP code can have different rates. In addition, sales tax jurisdictions often overlap, so the right rate will be a combination of rates from all applicable state and local jurisdictions. There are over 12,000 tax jurisdictions in the U.S. alone.

This is mostly a great thing for consumers and taxes usually do not need to be collected as businesses are not always in the same state as the consumers placing orders. If this is the case, sales tax WILL NOT be charged on your order.

In order to keep your credit card information safe, we pre-authorize the tax amount we may need to collect if the fulfilling business is within the same state as you. Because of this, the tax that is first collected for your order may not be the actual amount charged to your card.
