Sooo, shop somewhere else? B&H doesn't collect from any other local taxes outside of NY. iPad Pros are in stock, today... Free shipping here in the US, too.
And, you're still supposed to pay local/state taxes anyway - it's the law in cities/states with sales taxes, but most people I know or read about seem to ignore those laws. MacMall is only doing what most of should be doing anyway. I'm an Oregonian, so pay no sales tax - but our income tax is on every buck we make, and it's higher by far than most sales taxes. Not picking nits with you, just offering what consumers are supposed to do regardless of the state lived in...
