Hi Leah. When I've traveled and bought stuff out of state, the rule has always been that if I take it with me, then I pay the tax, and if I have it shipped then I don't. I doubt California would be any different. It's always a question of how much to ship versus how much is the tax.
I bought a bike once from an out-of-state dealer---my first Riv, in fact---and he was kind enough to drive it over the state line into my state so I could take delivery and not pay the tax. Very kind of him. I suggested that I pick it up from him in *his* state and we could *say* that he drove it over the line, but he wanted to do it the honest way. Neither of those states was California, but again---I can't imagine that California would be any more lenient, although they might be stricter.
