Any online places to get the 2 w/o tax?

AAFES. Just don't expect them to have then on Friday

Take that back. Just checked the AAFES website and looks like they will be available friday for order. So if you are military or a dependent.....might be worth it to go that route.

Thanks for the heads up.

MacMall has them advertised on their web page

I think MacMall charges sales tax if it's shipped to California.

Thanks you two!
Update: Guess neither can ship out orders until Monday, not sure if I want to wait so long!

If you can't, you can pay the sales tax and wait in line (maybe) if you want to get in on Friday.

Yeah, I guess I'll have to go to Best Buy and just pay the sales tax. O'well. A friend's always telling me how much he hates it when people skip out and order things online to avoid sales tax >.>

That is actually false. All resellers that sell iPad have physical presence in my state, so I get charged taxes Internet or not. The only Apple reseller that doesn't charge taxes here is Amazon, however they don't carry iPad.

You sir, are correct.

Do you have any info about websites that ship the iPad outside of the US before March 25th? I'm considering this one:
www.ipad2worldwide.com
Any chance you've heard of it? I'm in Germany and I really don't want to wait until March 25th...

Tax in New York City

MacMall has them advertised on their web page

I am from New York city. Will I need to pay tax if I order iPad 2 Wifi 16G from MacMall? I am a college student and every penny means a lot to me. Paying 50 on tax is just too much. I rather want to spend that on a smart cover. It doesn't make much difference for me to wait for a couple more days.

Tell me what iPad you want, I'll buy it for you then you buy it from me with a $100 premium and I won't charge you tax.

Like I said earlier, get it from Abt.com and you will get charged no sales tax plus you can get 2% cash back with Ebates.

Military

The AAFES.com will have them for sell on the 11th but like someone said earlier, you will need someone in the military to order for you. The PX/BX's also don't do tax but they may not have them on the 11th. Still TBD.

Too bad, I know nobody in the military.

It wouldn't be worth that much to me to get it 10 days early.

I don't see ABT.com has iPad 2 on sale on their website. Are you sure they will have iPad 2 this Friday?

 

[Sydde]

sadly they don't sell iPads through the online store, just accessories

Is that all the time, or just for this close-out?

Also, when I was visiting the PX shortly after last years launch they were selling the iPad at a slight discount. The 16GB WiFi was $479 instead of $499... I have no clue whether they will do the same with the iPad 2, but that would definitely make it the best deal if you can get it. I may have to ask my dad for his AAFES login to check it out.

Uh, no, it's actually true. I didn't use any qualifiers like "in every situation." Even if you could point to the fact that you and OP live in the same state (which isn't apparent here), it still wouldn't make what I said untrue. But thanks for the thought.

Anyway, you can get the iPad via Amazon.com, and Amazon even fulfills some of the third-party orders. Are you saying that every single third-party vendor that sells through Amazon has a physical presence where you live?

The only thing they have on there right now is Ipad 2nd generation...start selling 5pm CST but nothing else. Asked them about shipping and they said that it will be coming straight from the dealer so not sure about delivery options either. Just hoping to call on Thurs. and find out that the PX/BX's will have them on Friday.

They said that it will be available for pre-order on Friday. No word on when it will actually ship.

Geez Amazon sale agents are completely full of it! I know I was a bit rude towards the end but the fact that she was completely bs'ing irked me >.>

Me:Will you offer the iPad 2 upon it's release?

Kelly:Hi, *. We will have the iPad2 when it is released, though you may wish to pre-order, as sometimes items can be sold out within seconds, especially of they are a popular item.

Me:I'm sorry, I thought you couldn't preorder the iPad 2?

Kelly:It should be available a few days before the release.

Me:Ok, the iPad's going to be released on Friday. That's three days from now. I know Apple isn't allowing any preorders for the device, they've said so. Do you have a definite answer?

Kelly:If the iPad 2 isn't going to be available for pre-release then it will be available on Friday.

Kelly from Amazon.com has left the conversation.

 

[toshibauser]

What I will do on Friday is to place my order on Abt.com or MacMall.com in the morning if they don't charge sale tax shippin to New York. Otherwise, I will go to the 5th Ave. apple store in the afternoon and pick up one from there. If there is no way to avoid paying sales tax in New York, I would rather paying it in the apple store on Friday. At least, I can get it on hand on the release day.

Thanks for the info. My Dad is the one with the access to AAFES so getting it in store isn't an option for me unless I ask him to get it and send it to me (we live in different states). I could have him order it for me online, but not sure if I am willing to wait.
