I have no idea what they are doing other than charging me tax on shipping. In California you aren't supposed to do that. But since they are calling it Service and not Shipping, they are charging the tax. Whatever they are doing with the money, I have no idea. I'm not saying it is illegal either. I'm just saying it is annoying and an example like my previous one where they use language to say whatever they want to say to get whatever they want. "Unique Back" "Service and Handling", etc.
"Mr. Miller,
Thank you for your email. The shipping charges are titled as service and handling and as this includes materials, handling and shipping charges it is taxable. You can go online and process the payment or I can process it for you manually at your request.
Please feel free to contact me with any further questions you might have.
