refund at newegg w/o tax refunded legal?

[Platinum321]

Hi, I order a lot of things from newegg. I rarely ever have to return things. But the last two item that I have returned, they refund the full cost of the item but they do not refund the tax? As far as I know, every vendor (online/b&m) I have returned things to refund the tax paid on the item as well. I am just wondering if there is a legitimate reason I am not aware of for this practice. Either way, I am have always been a satisfied newegg customer.
thanks for the response.

They should be refunding the tax as well.

this one is too easy. they should refund the tax as well.

Platinum321, it's not legal to keep tax money on a returned item so give newegg a call. However, S&H isn't always refundable, it depends on the store, perhaps they withheld the S&H charge when they refunded you money?

i know that newegg does have a restocking fee. are you sure the amount taken out is not taxes but for restocking?

I just had a refund and they did not include the tax on the refund. I had to call to get the tax refunded. total BS.

This happened to me at a local Walmart B&M. Gave me some excuse that if it was in a different calendar month, that they couldn't refund tax. Sketchy as all heck.

I can't see the bottom part of your pic. I see something purchased for $109.99 - $5 promo, and a refund for $104.99.

What's missing?

Edit: I see it now. Yeah, that's really sketch.

That's really messed up... I have to assume that they do this crap ALL THE TIME counting on the fact that a certain percentage will just let it go.

Not really a surprise after the Gamers Nexus RMA debacle awhile back.... Newegg is apparently no longer a trustworthy company.

What a shame.... I think I've made my LAST purchase at there.
