I hope you truly understand what "Tax Evasion" is? It's perfectly legal for people to buy products and not pay tax to the store they are buying it from, provided the store doesn't charge tax based on the state the customer lives in. That's not tax evasion. When doing your taxes you have to claim those products on your tax form. If you choose not to then at that point you're cheating on your taxes......but if you think most people aren't creative on their tax forms anyway then you're sadly mistaken.

You mean avoidance? Unless there is a physical presence of that company in your state, you do not have to pay a dime to that state's bloated bureaucracy
This is why I use Amazon for most of my purchases.
Read the negative reviews. You can find a lot about the company there and how they handle problems.
Crap. I just spent $2000 on the LaCie 20TB drive from Amazon shipped to Canada. Not worth it to return; I already paid the Customs charges.
You can only delay it until mid-April, when the tax return is due. At that moment you must report all internet purchases, at least in California.
Depending on what Apple thinks they can get away with, and with inflation, you'll probably be safe to plan on saving at least double the current price if you really want the latest and greatest in 4 years. No joke.

Dude be careful your thing is going to get worn out and fall off.

I know! I hate all those pesky fire departments and schools. I don't have kids and my stuff is never on fire!
I know you're being sarcastic but I really don't see why I'm supposed to pay for everyone else's kids. In Asia if you have kids you pay for their school. Why do kids get free iPad with my money, then I have to pay again for my own iPad. They can freaking starve.
