Taxing remote sales has changed! On June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of the state in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. The decision overruled a longstanding physical presence rule, allowing states to require remote sellers to collect and remit sales tax. In the time since the Supreme Court Decision, most (but not all) states have adopted new rules defining what establishes a sales and use tax obligation, known as nexus.

Unfortunately for businesses, no two state sales tax nexus laws are alike. To further complicate things, taxes can also be collected at the county and local government levels, so the customer’s billing address at the time of order submission will ultimately determine how much (if any) taxes will be applied to the order.

Due to this change (and resulting software limitations associated with our website), sales tax may not be calculated correctly during checkout. Our Customer Service Representatives will review your order after it has been submitted to ensure accuracy. If you have any questions regarding the application of sales tax, please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-423-5198.

Unfortuantely, no. Due to the limitations of our digital printers and silkscreen process, there is no guarantee regarding proper scannability of QR Codes or Barcodes after production is finalized. That is not to say the quality of the print won't be held to the same high standard all other custom prints are required to meet, but we cannot offer any guarantees that QR Codes or Barcodes will be able to be scanned by any digital devices capable of doing so. Please keep this in mind prior to placing any personalized orders involving QR Codes or Barcodes. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
