Wait for a tax free option or?

Hello, should I wait for a tax free online retailer or bring my brother to the Apple Store for the student discount? I would be getting the beats as well on top of the discount (looking like 300 for the discount because of he's a student).

Not that I’d advocate such a thing, but it’s well known Apple doesn’t verify online student orders ( hypothetically speaking if you’re worried they might you could order it in his name and keep a scan of this student ID)

In addition there are re-shipping companies like shipito that have addresses in OR (no tax) that can reship whatever you ship to them 😉
Whether reshipping would be worth it depends on what you’re buying luckily they have a shipping estimate calculator
( needs to guess at approx shipping dimensions & weight)
last time I reshipped something roughly the size and weight as 15” MBP it was about $40 and fedex but everyone is different

Can you pm me the name of the company? You’re amazing!

well i named one them.
there is nothing shady/illegal about a reshipper/Mail Forwarding Service so I dont mind just saying.

the two I have used and had good experiences with are Shipito & Montana Shipping Outlet

Shipito are the ones with the mailbox and Oregon, There are other states shipito has addesses in but i use Oregon because it is a taxfree state so even if the reship cost is higher than NV or CA its worth it

the other i have used is Montana Shipping Outlet (Personally I've only ever mailed out from it it once because typically I use it for big packages and drive down there because it's An hour away from where I live in Canada.)
I can't remember their re-shipping rates but you can call them.

Either Should work for you Montana and Oregon are tax free states So if it was me I would choose whichever one had the cheapest rate

Don't know if you can get a student discount at the link below, but for now they have tax free pricing and free shipping. I've shopped here several times including buying Apple laptops. Never any problem.
