Canadiansuppliments.com sneaky bastards
« on: July 22, 2014, 06:54:02 PM »
So i went to their site to get some stuff. Put them into the cart and if you buy over a $100 you get free shipping. The first version of the cart showed a shipping charge of $9 something and a tax of $7 so i hit recalculate and the shipping charge turns zero but the tax charge changes to $14.  I go to sndcanada and order the same stuff and the subtotal lines up the same as it did on canadiansuppliments but the tax stays the same when i redeem the free shipping. Tax rate is $7 and no additions once i get free shipping.

Could be a software glitch? I go back to canadiansuppliments and redo the entire order and once again the tax charge goes up afte i claim free shipping.Looks like they're hiding  shipping charge in the tax charge.

um

no

your provincial tax rate is 14%... the default rate when you do not set a location is 8 or 7%

It could be harmonized GST & PST which are sometimes calculated afterwards on all charges including shipping.
