Why do Ohio Residents Pay Extra?


That's a good question! In the past, we simply charged Ohio residents the flat tax, based upon the county of origin (Butler County - 6.5%). However, as of 2005, the State of Ohio now demands that merchants charge Ohio customers, based upon the tax rate of the customer's county.

So, for every Ohio order, we must determine your county and then apply your local tax. The small remainder is applied as a handling charge.

With our secure shop, we can determine the tax rate of Ohio customers and bill them accordingly (without including a handling fee) but our paper form cannot offer that level of flexibility.

Sorry fellow Ohioans!
