[Tigers] FYI: Is JEGS overcharging taxes?

[Daniel Eiland]

Just heard from someone on another car list who put in a test purchase from Columbus, Ohio and the JEGS site showed the tax on the purchase that was almost double the actual tax.

My only problem with them is they list stuff and don't have it or it's been discontinued by the manufacturer.

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?
