Calculating Sales Tax

Due to a 2018 US Supreme Court decision, items sold by C. Crane online or via phone and shipped to locations in the U.S., including territories, may be subject to tax. The amount of tax that is charged on your order depends on various factors including the type of item purchased and the shipment or delivery address of your order. The tax rate applied to your order will be the combined state and local rates of the address to where your order is delivered.

For example: if you live in a state that does not impose a sales tax, you may still see tax calculated on your order if shipped to another state. Moreover, the tax rates applied on your order may also be different for a variety of reasons, such as a shipment to a residential home versus a business address.

Some locations (states, municipalities) assess sales tax on shipping and handling charges as well. All applicable taxes will be clearly displayed on your final order confirmation receipt.

We will continue to monitor and update our tax policies as these laws change. We value you as a C. Crane customer and appreciate your understanding regarding us following the law.

Sales tax is charged for items shipped to the following states as of September 2023:

Canadian and International Shipping

We do ship to most international addresses. Available shipping methods vary based on the weight of the items and the destination.

The available ship methods and pricing will be displayed. These prices do not include duties or taxes. An alternative option is to check our Amazon storefronts to see if the item(s) you are interested are available there – due to the sheer size of Amazon, they can often offer less expensive and faster shipping options to international destinations.

I want to thank you for your service. I received my repaired radio back today and you did more than I expected. I love the CC Radios. This one is over 10 years old and still works great. I have another older version and I gave it to my son for a clock radio and it still works great. I think there is no finer radio on the market. Believe me when I tell you that if I ever need another radio, your will be the one I purchase. Arthur J. Fox
