  "notes": "Walmart uses two different tier semantics and its own page distinguishes them in words. 'for items with a total sales price of X or less' is a THRESHOLD rule: the whole amount is charged at one rate. 'for the portion of the total sales price up to X' is a PORTION rule: each slice is charged at its own rate. Conflating the two is the most common error in third-party calculators. Total sales price includes item price, shipping and handling, gift wrap and other charges.",
