Trying to purchase a phone on our tax free weekend, and the apple website is still calculating and charging tax. Any chance of getting this fixed?

Phones and computers are tax free in MA this weekend. The apple system is strange and removes the tax once it is shipped and finally billed.


Excludes items in MA are meals; cars, boats, and other vehicles; gas; utilities; cigarettes and other tobacco products; marijuana; and alcohol.

Yes, it's tax free. Apples on line system will only adjust it in the final billing. Pretty poor order management system, IMO. I've ordered today from Bose and Amazon, and they both zero out the tax in the ordering process. I had to call them and confirm that the ultimate charge to my credit card was tax free, and it was.

Hello, I am also trying to buy a phone online in MA this tax-free weekend. I contacted to support about this problem but they couldn't give me an answer. Is tax free weekend only valid for store purchases? Or is it going to be okay and tax-free once I purchase my order? I believe you tried that and it removed the tax once it was shipped? Thanks a lot, hope you can help me!
