Is this normal/safe? Worried that I am going to get ripped off and need some advice..

He'd probably allow you to buy it and pay for it in person and wear it out of the store. He'd need to ship SOMETHING to you, I usually just have the box sent :D
 
totally normal
I recenty purchased a watch in Las Vegas...SA suggesting shipping (even though I was there) to avoid sales tax
I tried to get her to ship the empty box and let me take the watch so I could have it right away. She said that was against the law/rules. So I had it shipped.

The NV dept of revenue has been cracking down on this activity. So that's why the stores aren't/or shouldn't be doing it now. It got so bad, NV taxation was comparing weight on boxes to make sure they weren't shipping empties.

Interesting. I really wanted to take my watch on the spot both for my enjoyment and also so that I wouldn't have to worry about anything happening in shipping. But SA would not do it. It worked out OK in the end.
