Do I have to pay sale taxes?
Effective Oct. 1, 2018, The Rike and other online suppliers began collecting state sales tax on all online purchases in your state. The policy is a result of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. (2018). The ruling overturned a 1992 decision prohibiting states from collecting taxes unless a business operated a physical location in the state (Quill Corporation v. North Dakota).Also, if a manufacturer is shipping from a warehouse in your state, there will be sales tax for that item. This is in accordance with the "Nexus" laws concerning online purchases.
If you have any questions about how sales tax is calculated, give us a call 314-537-4134.
How do I cancel an order?
The cancellation request must be made and confirmed via email with The Rike as soon as possible. If you call or speak to customer support, please be advised that a cancellation is not confirmed without a confirmation email from The Rike.
If a cancellation request is not received in a sufficient time frame for the shipment to be held by the supplier, it will be considered a request for return.
