It sounds like the material and handling portion is taxible, and the postage portion is not. Since they do not break out the two, it sounds like they are just taking the most conservative posture vis a vis taxes and paying (and charging) taxes on all shipping charges. My sense is that Heritage does not want to go counter to tax guidelines and bends over backwards to make sure they are in compliance. At the end of the day, what are we talking about a few dollars extra in tax?
