How Taxes are Calculated and Collected
A single ZIP code can have multiple sales tax rates; even neighboring houses in the same ZIP code can have different rates. In addition, sales tax jurisdictions often overlap, so the right rate will be a combination of rates from all applicable state and local jurisdictions. There are over 12,000 tax jurisdictions in the U.S. alone.
Quivers is a business which partners Merchants and Fulfillers together for order fulfillment.
What this means is at the time of your purchase, we may not know exactly which business is fulfilling your order.
This is mostly a great thing for consumers and taxes usually do not need to be collected as businesses are not always in the same state as the consumers placing orders. If this is the case, sales tax WILL NOT be charged on your order.
In order to keep your credit card information safe, we pre-authorize the tax amount we may need to collect if the fulfilling business is within the same state as you. Because of this, the tax that is first collected for your order may not be the actual amount charged to your card.
*You will receive the final sales tax collected in your shipping notification when your items are shipped as we will then be able to accurately assess taxes.
