5% Tax on Camera Gears in Edmonton ?

AAC

Plan to make a trip to Edmonton in August and hoping to grab some camera gears there (VistXX). If I order online, they will charge me 12% tax for delivery address in BC.  Will I save the extra 7% tax if pickup there in person ?

Eventually, I paid Vistek full amount online to secure the soon expired Nikon 24-70mm that is $150 discount.  It will be picked up from their Edmonton store next week.

If anyone remember, few years back, BC government requested Costco in Alberta to report all the purchase records of their BC members who shopped at Alberta Costco.  The plan of the BC government is to recollect the appropriate tax.

Costco denied the request eventually.

    If it's by-law, it's @ city-level? So different cities (Van/Richmond etc) may have diff requirement?

And what a by-law...how to enforce that????
