Can i change my shipping address to another state

So here's the deal. I want to place an order for a Mac. With taxes added in, it'll be an additional $500+. Not really a fan of that. MY question is, when i place an order, can i use a shipping address from anchorage ak ( a city with $0 tax) at checkout, pay for it and let my order process, and right after i place my order, go in and change my address to my actual address in Texas? Another words, use anchorage ak as a temp address to avoid the high taxes and then use my actual address in texas?

No, that won’t work. The tax will be based on the actual shipping address, and your account will not be charged until it ships. Do you know anyone in Montana or Delaware (2 other states with no sales tax)?


You could also fly to Anchorage to pick it up at a hotel; airfares are pretty low right now. AND you get to see Anchorage (which is a nice little city).


The fact is that state and local taxing authorities know all of the tricks, and are pretty vigilant.
