I think the prices are the same, but final cost will be different depending on shipping address?

I looked at an old order for my daughter who lives NYC. I live in CT (the billing address), and it was shipped to NYC (a different state, and maybe the city also charges sales tax?). I was not charged for sales tax in CT, but was charged for sales tax in NY(C).

And for my state, we are supposed to pay a use tax (if applicable).
