The big problem is the supply chain is all FUBAR. Some =
products are 5 to 10 weeks delay if you=E2=80=99re lucky.

Your problem is that your asking a legal question to a =
phone operator and I guarantee they do not have a lawyer on staff there.
There was a time when I noticed that companies were charging tax on =
postage and handling. Taxing postage is not legal. I think I wrote a =
complaint to the Post Office General.
I then noticed that companies changed the wording to handling and =
shipping =E2=80=93 all taxable because they took the word postage out.
=20
You have to look at any order to check the shipping and handling charge =
=E2=80=93 they could be OK or down right outrageous these days.
Unfortunately, it=E2=80=99s buyer beware out there, fortunately there is =
a cancel or delete button.
=20
I was ordering an exhaust system on Rock Auto one time and Rock Auto red =
flagged the main pipe =E2=80=93 the supplier wanted to charge $300 =
shipping for an $80 part.
Thank you Rock Auto for the heads up, I noticed the high charge too =
=E2=80=93 that part was purchased elsewhere.
=20
As for who to report this to; I would say you need to report it to your =
State=E2=80=99s Attorney General.
We the people have little influence in these matters to a company but =
put a State=E2=80=99s Legal team behind something like this, the company =
will have to take notice.
If a company is over charging Tax =E2=80=93 your State wants to know.
=20
I=E2=80=99m not a lawyer so just my opinion on the subject.

I have made several purchases from JEGS in the last couple of months. I =

My area is 6%. My parts came to $42.44 not including shipping. I was =

My only problem with them is they list stuff and don't have it or it's =

FYI, I went to JEGS website to order some parts and noticed a problem =
with the tax calculation on the bill. When I looked into it further I =
realized they had added an extra dollar to the state tax. I went on =
their chat line but they were no help They referred me to their tax site =
where I could post my issue but that is it. You have to be careful =
because they just increased the tax due without saying they were =
collecting more than what the state tax really is if you calculate it =
out yourself. The person on their chat site said he couldn't correct the =
issue and only left me the option of contacting their email site to =
their tax office. I imagine the company is collecting millions of =
dollars under the premise of taxes when it is not. Not sure who to =
report this practice too. Needless-to-say I did not purchase the parts. =
Anyone else noticed this practice before?
