Taxes
By law, sales tax must be charged on all orders shipped within the state of Tennessee. Therefore a tax amount of 8.25% will be charged on your total order (after any applicable discounts, etc.), excluding shipping and handling. The tax amount will automatically be calculated if you select Tennessee as the state when proceeding to Checkout. If you do not properly check this field, and your shipping address is within the State of Tennessee, your order will be delayed while we contact you to correct the charges. Therefore, please ensure you select  "Tennessee" if you are a resident.  If the shipping address is to a state other than Tennessee, taxes will not be applied to your order.   Return to Top
