EU here where listed prices include the tax in most cases.
In much of North America not only are the taxes added after; they usually don't count towards discount values.
$39.99 + tax is still considered below that $40 bar.
Some states don’t even have sales tax. US is a giant country with many different sets of laws
Like some weird union of states or something
unlike the EU
Exactly
Congrats
Taxes usually don't count. They know what they're doing with these scams. They want you to have to purchase something else that you don't even need.
Taxes are applied after on most sites so no free shipping.
Hey some are 19,99 instead.
Sometimes the sellers have also cheap items in the inventory.
Like pens, batteries, etc.
I bought so many unnecessary things using this method - but it's cheaper than a shipping cost.
