- cbovis 7y agoInteresting, I'd find that super annoying as a consumer that's used to seeing the full price (ex. delivery) upfront. Is this standard practice for online US stores?
- Hamuko 7y agoIt's standard practice in the US, full stop.
- adar 7y agoAll stores in the US do this, online or brick and mortar.
- wiredfool 7y agoThere’s probably more than 10k potential sales tax rates in the US, so you get used to it.
- anticensor 7y agoIt is not like accountant does not calculate and pay the tax for each tax jurisdiction anyway.

- lazerpants 7y agoIt is annoying but taxes in the US are based on locality, so they involve state and municipal sales taxes, so it would be impossible to list one price for every customer.
