Many states and cities are enforcing their ability to collect sales tax on e-commerce purchases. Not all customers are impacted though. In many states, groceries are exempt from taxes. Some states have a lower sales tax rate on groceries. However, even in exempt states, local cities or counties may charge a tax. We are required to collect the tax based on your shipping location, and will send any tax that we collect to the relevant jurisdiction.
