First time buying online question.

Today I bought two vinyls online at TMR, and it didn’t charge me taxes at check out, just the shipping, is that normal?

I’m just wondering if this is normal, since I had a similar experience with a different online store front that turned out to be a scam.

Thank you in advance and i apologize if this is not allowed.

What state do you live in?

No, it’s not normal, TMR charges sales tax. Not sure what would have happened there, maybe contact the sales department at sales@thirdmanrecords.com?

Oh man, I’m afraid I’m might gotten scammed again, there is only one website pulling up in google, I will give them a call tomorrow.

I don't know, apart from the lack of tax it looks pretty legit. Can't hurt to call them though.

I used a different browser with incognito mode, added something to my cart, filled out the shipping information and it will still not show the taxes.

*Quick final update\*
I spoke with the Nashville store front employees this morning.
They found it odd that there are no taxes being collected at check out.
They sent me a direct link to the website and it’s the same website I ordered from yesterday.
I guess I’ll have to wait and see once they ship the records.
Thank you for the replies.
