Unfortunately, since we are a company located in California, Peach Parts is now a company located in California and is required by the law to collect California sales tax. Unfortunately, that is the law, and we are required to abide by California state laws. If you give Phil a call on the toll-free number, I can authorize him to give you a discount on the parts equal to an approximate amount of the tax (still have to technically pay it to Sacramento though).

We have a new catalog coming soon that will offer significant discounts on the parts here (FastLane will be replaced by a new Pelican Parts Mercedes catalog). We've been in this business for about 13 years now and have built a very loyal following in the Porsche & BMW arena. We will be working hard to earn your trust, respect and business in the future.

Thanks for your continued patience and support,

Wayne
Does this mean I can get a discount on my lock ring tool

That's correct.

The laws will change soon enough, and you will, for every online purchase. Depending on how fast or slow your state moves it may come by 2012 or by 2018.

If on line sellers begin charging sales tax, whether forced by state laws or not, they will need to reduce shipping costs or merchandise prices to stay competitive with the brick and mortar shops.
