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).
Got a tip for us?

Wait for a tax free option or?

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

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.
