As the title say.

I was able to pick up a 40 breeder for frags. Coolio

My beef with the dollar per gallon is they charge you tax on the "original price".

When does it end?

I don't mean to be rude..... just nerves me that they do it.

You can go to petsmart and have them price match to save on the tax. Pets supplies plus also does a dollar a gallon sale with tax only on the new price.

Fieryfrog · Oct 27, 2015

Yeah. They got me on that tax thing also.

How is it legal to charge tax on a price you don't pay?

What are you going to use the 40 breeder for? Is it going to be a sump for your kid?

Fieryfrog · Nov 1, 2015

I haven't decided yet. I was going to use it for Nicks new tank. But it is just a little to big for his bedroom. But I went back and also bought a 29 gallon. I have a sump for it. So I may actually replace that 58 gallon that I brought to the meet. I have been using that for a frag tank.

I asked an employee why I had to pay tax on the the whole thing. He told me that it is really a rebate and not a sale. I guess that people are paying the full price and then they are instantly given the rebate but I reall have no idea.

Sounds like something a lawyer would jump on.

I purchased 3-40 breeders last year and had the same tax issue. I called Petco corporate and argued that I should not have to pay tax on an amount higher that that of what is changing hands. I probably would have left it alone but the store manager was not pleasant. I was also about a 1.5 hour ride from home so I had time to kill. About a 30 minute wait later they issued me a refund

Exact same story here but no refund for me
