How does one legally define where one buys a product? Shipping address? Home address? Point of sale?

  Seems to be the shipping address.

    Then is shipping to an intermediary low-tax address (as a service) followed by a separate shipping event to your home an illegal circumvention?

      Yes, you owe use tax to your home state on the difference in sales tax.

    Some state sales tax rates are destination-based and others are origin-based. Since sales tax was not designed to consider the internet, things get complicated fast.
