Device trade in?
Well, looks like B&h photo isn't shipping today, bummer.
Meanwhile, I don't really mind not getting mine the same day it's released (or heck even within 30 days) so for the $100 saved (9% sales tax + $3 environmental fee), I'm fine waiting. All it means is my mom will have to suffer through her iPad 3 a bit longer as she'll be getting my iPad Air a little later.Big reason i didnt order from them; they couldn't answer any questions about stock or timing. For the 5-6% saved in tax ($32 on $599) not worth it to me.
ditto.. 10% is what it costs here in my area of CA..like I said, nearly paid for a free pencil. I'm okay waiting.Meanwhile, I don't really mind not getting mine the same day it's released (or heck even within 30 days) so for the $100 saved (9% sales tax + $3 environmental fee), I'm fine waiting.

Standard CA state sales tax is 7.5% (6.25% state + 1.25% mandatory local) but certain counties and municipalities have higher rates. Los Angeles County is 9% and there are certain cities within the county that are 10% (e.g. Pico Rivera). I believe San Francisco County rates are higher than LA County. Yeah, sales tax in CA is a pain for small online retailers as they pretty much vary by zip code.It just offsets any sales tax and maybe a tiny bit on top. Like for example CA which has 7.5% tax, so 10%-7.5%= 2.5%.
I just want to say thanks to the OP for starting this thread. I had already planned on getting mine from target using my redcard in a tax free state but this thread alerted me to the extra 5% off coupon. I saved $73 with no extra effort. (And this iPad Pro screen is amazing!) Thanks, OP!

Lucky man, I'm sure if I had stuck with the Wifi only model as I originally intended(Only way I have ever bought an iPad) I would have gotten my order delivered today.I just want to say thanks to the OP for starting this thread.

It sucks that they screwed you over. I was prepared to get screwed too with target getting no in store stock but luckily they had one unit when I checked online this morning so I snapped it up. I have a full price preorder at Best Buy in store pick up waiting for me too which I was prepared to settle for if need be but I'm happy to have the savings.Lucky man, I'm sure if I had stuck with the Wifi only model as I originally intended(Only way I have ever bought an iPad) I would have gotten my order delivered today.
Yeah, it is what it is. I'm just happy to get one today. Do you like in a tax free state? Being in NY we get dinged almost 9% so I was expecting to get charged an extra $75 or so once it shipped so it would have turned into a $50ish savings in the end. Calling it a day and going to enjoy my new toy in a few hours.It sucks that they screwed you over.

Yeah it's nice but they get you in other ways, like home property taxes, higher prepared meals tax, and lower services for the needy. But when making major purchases like a car, it's nice.Yeah, it is what it is. I'm just happy to get one today. Do you like in a tax free state?

Can you tell me about this additional 5 percent off at Target..I already have the red card but to save an additional 5 percent off of the iPad would be great
It was a coupon some customers received. I actually didn't get the coupon, but I called target.com customer service and they agreed to honor the additional 5%. You can try that and see if it works for you.
Not bad! Mine was at $690.00. With all of the same saving items. Enjoy your new Pro!I just want to say thanks to the OP for starting this thread.
