More information is available in our Privacy Statement.
Q. Why am I being charged Sales Tax? I thought Internet sales were tax-exempt.
A. Internet sales are not specifically exempt from sales & use taxes. Discovery Toys has activities in each state of the United States and each Canadian province that subject it to state, provincial and local laws imposing sales tax collection. Therefore, Discovery Toys is required to collect tax on merchandise sold via the Internet or otherwise. You may be interested to know that if a vendor does not charge sales tax, the purchaser of the merchandise is required individually to remit the tax to the taxing jurisdiction.
The appropriate taxes (based on the “ship to” location) will be added to your order. This dollar amount will be reflected on your Order Summary screen. Shopping Cart cannot accommodate purchases made by a tax-exempt organization. Please contact your Educational Consultant to place these orders.
In the United States, State and local sales taxes are based on the subtotal after delivery charges (shipping and handling) in all states charging sales tax with the exception of IA, ID, LA, MA, OK, UT and WY where tax is based on the merchandise total only.
Q. How do I pay for an order I place on a discoverytoys.com Shopping Cart?
A. American Express, VISA, MasterCard, and Discover Card (USA only) credit cards are accepted as payment for orders placed online. Debit or ATM cards with a credit card company logo, such as VISA and MasterCard are also accepted. Note: to avoid delay, please verify the Billing Address is correct for the credit card used.
Unfortunately, checks and money orders are not accepted. If you wish to pay by an alternate method, please contact your Educational Consultant directly
