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?</span><o:p></o:p></p><div id="yiv9742589993ymail_android_signature"><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature&af_web_dp=https://more.att.com/currently/imap" target="_blank">Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></body></html>
