No worries ODog I will take care of it.
I decided today that I'm going to shuffle a bunch of stuff around on the site soon and we're going to be adding the excise in directly as part of the sale in the future. It's the only way to do this that I see to not piss people off by asking them for the tax forms like this. Last thing I want to do and unfortunately it's the guys doing it under the table and trying to hide that are making it hard for everyone else.
OD please accept my apologies. This order fit the standard MO to a T. I see this 2-3 times a week where someone orders under a false or partial name, and purposely leaves any reference to their business off the order so they don't have to pay the tax. Not saying that's what you did here, personal use is fine I have no issues with this as said previously, it's the guys scamming that I do have an issue with. I've canceled several orders already this week for this and these guys know who they are.
If I re-arrange the cart and put the calculation in for the tax it will eliminate having to ask because anyone that IS a legit business will now have to come to ME with their certificate first otherwise they're going to double pay the tax. I don't see any other way of eliminating this problem. I don't have time to chase people for this. Unfortunately the problem is pretty widespread even involving other companies that sell components online.
