Incorrect Spyderco Sales Tax

#1

Post by RAHComanche »

Anybody ever check their sales tax from the SpyderCo store and realize its incorrect. Northern Virginia zip is being charged 7% instead of 6%. Two emails have gone unresponded. (Customer Service on the phone was very nice however and directed me to email). Not big on paying extra sales tax when it is clearly incorrect. Seems silly to resolve the issue on my taxes at end of year by claiming overpayment.

You can't be talking about a lot of money here. How much? If its just a few bucks isn't your time worth more than getting a few bucks back, because my guess its going to take time to figure that out. Just think of all the new R&D Spyderco can do by taking your 1%. Lol

I think the state gets it and not Spyderco. That would be my understanding.

And yes, it is not that much in practicality but across many customers in a locale where many govt and military work, it should be fixed.

You know, now that you mentioned it... The last few Mules I bought, I got charged 10.4% sales tax. I just assumed my state's sales tax went up without me noticing it, but I just looked it up... 10.35% is Seattle's sales tax, whereas my county's tax is only 8.3%, and the state's flat-tax rate (not including any taxes charged by municipalities) is 6.5%.

I kinda just shrugged it off since it does really only amount to a few bucks at most, but I feel like Spyderco should be aware. Maybe someone is just miscalculating things.
