Shipping was $19.30 and sales tax was 22.68 (I live in the same state as Tim - no Heritage office in Illinois) for an additional $41.98 in fees. Considering I have to wait 7-14 days to get my card, that is ridiculous.

I found this in a quick search.

Effective June 1st, Heritage will be required by state law to charge all applicable sales taxes on any items delivered to Illinois addresses other than sales to dealers with valid Illinois sales tax numbers who are purchasing for resale and who furnish us with a properly completed Illinois resale certificate (exempt purchasers may furnish us with properly completed Illinois exemption certificates). NO sales tax is due for US Coins & Currency and World Coins & Currency. Please see paragraph #25 in our Terms and Conditions for more complete information.

Sincerely,

Thanks for posting that Peter - explains the tax for me anyhow.

well, that's a drag. Paragraph 25 gives no more info. I wonder what exactly what is the requirement that requires Illinois sales tax to be collected.

Looks like the buyer(s) of the T206 Mathewson proof ($35,850) and T206 Mullaney-Cy Young multi-strike ($19,120) will make a nice profit flipping them. From a post this past April:

That's easy, Tim--the state is corrupt, just like Pennsylvania!

Cheers, Mike

From what I was told they opened an office in Illinois. I had asked during the May auction when I got an email that said they would be charging sales tax after I think its the June 1 date.

*** There was a systematic problem with the invoicing. IF you guys look at the items for sale. Pick any single card item (or I think any item), It will say, below the description...

"Trading Card Set or Notebook, Large"

Their system charged all items based on that charge. So they are redoing all of the invoices for corrected shipping UNLESS your item was actually a Trading Card set or Notebook Large. If you had an item that fit that description then you got shipping charges added correctly per the system. If you were billed correctly and are still not happy, please email Chris Ivy about it.- civy@ha.com

If you paid your invoice they will credit you for any overpayment on shipping. They are working on it right this minute. Sorry for the issues too...


As for charging tax on shipping that is being looked into. I can virtually guarantee that Heritage is going by the book on taxes and the way they are collecting and paid. Now, they could always make a human mistake but otherwise I would be quite surprised if there is a sales tax issue.

Thank you, Leon. The auction was a lot of fun to watch and participate in, and I suspect they will be a lot more likely to get repeat business from their first-timers based on a willingness to deal with the shipping issue so quickly.

Regarding the shipping...it seems that this issue has come up more than once before. Seems that last time, we wrote Pete Calderon and he resolved the shipping stuff for us.

In case you're wondering, my shipping total is $83.65....heh...so I'm sure something can be worked out. Don't they usually botch the invoices at first before fixing them all within a day or two?
