About State of Minnesota Retail Delivery Fee

The descriptor "ST_RTL_DEL_FEE_MN" is not a private company or store, but a line item representing the State of Minnesota’s retail delivery fee. This fee is a government surcharge applied to qualifying retail deliveries of tangible goods to Minnesota addresses, typically when purchases meet specific criteria such as order value thresholds and the type of items being delivered. It is similar in nature to a tax or regulatory fee and is usually collected by the retailer on behalf of the state.

This charge appears on bank or card statements when you place an order for physical goods that are delivered to an address in Minnesota and the order qualifies for the retail delivery fee. The fee may be listed as a separate line item at checkout or on your receipt, and then shows up as a distinct transaction or descriptor such as "ST_RTL_DEL_FEE_MN" on your statement. It can accompany purchases from various merchants (e.g., big-box retailers, grocery delivery, or online marketplaces) whenever they are required to collect this state-imposed fee.

If you have questions about this charge, first review the original receipt or order confirmation from the retailer; you should see a separate line for a Minnesota retail delivery fee or similar wording. You can contact the retailer’s customer service to confirm that the fee was correctly applied and to request a detailed invoice. For questions about the law or eligibility rules for the fee, consult the Minnesota Department of Revenue’s website or contact them directly. If you still believe the charge is incorrect after checking with the retailer and reviewing state guidance, you can dispute it with your card issuer, but be aware that in most cases it is a legitimate government fee rather than a merchant overcharge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the "ST_RTL_DEL_FEE_MN" charge on my card statement?

The "ST_RTL_DEL_FEE_MN" charge represents the State of Minnesota’s retail delivery fee, a government-imposed surcharge collected by retailers on qualifying deliveries of tangible goods to Minnesota addresses.

Why is the retail delivery fee listed as a separate charge from my purchase amount?

Retailers often list the Minnesota retail delivery fee as a separate line item to distinguish it from the price of the goods and from regular sales tax, even though it is collected at the same time as your purchase.

Which purchases are likely to trigger the Minnesota retail delivery fee?

The fee generally applies when you buy tangible goods that are delivered by motor vehicle to a Minnesota address and your order meets certain state-defined criteria, such as minimum order value or eligible item types. The exact rules are determined by Minnesota tax law and guidance from the Minnesota Department of Revenue.

Can I get a refund for the "ST_RTL_DEL_FEE_MN" charge?

Refunds for this fee typically only occur if your entire order is returned or canceled, or if the retailer determines the fee was charged in error. You should first contact the retailer where you made the purchase and request a corrected receipt or refund if appropriate.

Who should I contact if I don’t recognize this retail delivery fee on my statement?

Start by checking your recent receipts from orders delivered to a Minnesota address and contact that retailer’s customer service with your order number. If you still have concerns or think the fee was misapplied, you can review information on the Minnesota Department of Revenue’s website or contact them directly for clarification.

Why does the descriptor say "ST_RTL_DEL_FEE_MN" instead of the retailer name?

Some card processors and retailers use a generic descriptor to label state-imposed fees, so the retail delivery fee can appear as its own transaction or line item separate from the merchant name, showing that it is a Minnesota state fee rather than a charge from the retailer itself.

Will I see this Minnesota retail delivery fee on every online order I place?

No. You will only see the fee on orders that are delivered to a Minnesota address and that meet the state’s criteria for the retail delivery fee. Digital goods, services, or non-qualifying transactions typically will not incur this charge.

How can I verify the exact amount I was charged for the Minnesota retail delivery fee?

Check the detailed receipt or invoice from the retailer, which should show the retail delivery fee amount as a separate line. You can then compare that amount to the "ST_RTL_DEL_FEE_MN" charge on your statement to ensure they match; if they do not, contact the retailer for clarification.
