I've never seen an online store ask for my address before I'm in the checkout process. The only exception is when I check to see if an item is in-stock at my local store or if one-day shipping is available.

The location detectors are notoriously bad. I'm either placed in some town in Washington (multiple states from me) or somewhere else that does have different local tax than my part of my state.
