True, but not paying either the sales tax or use tax in your state? In America that's called Tax Evasion... !!!
Tomayto, Tomahto. The only difference I see is that the empty box plan makes the AD an accomplice. Not judging, not objecting, and many do this - but let's be honest about what it is. |

No retail store is going to ship an empty box.

I often ask AD to waive the tax and they usually do so. They won't ship out of state. I've always been treated fairly with pricing...

Never done it with buying a watch in my own state. Many years ago I bought one in the neighboring state, was living right on the border at that time. And we used a courier service to “ship” the watch across the river to my state. Had it within an hour of leaving the AD. One of my better ideas I think. AD had never heard of such a thing but I have a feeling they probably used the idea again.

Just an anecdote. I was visiting LA last year and the Beverly Hills Boutique told me if I bought something there they would ship it home to me sans tax.

I don't understand trying to game the system and going through all that trouble to save a few bucks? We know what we're buying. Just pay up & avoid all the nonsense. IMHO
