That is almost always true, and to make this even worse, JUST the 
buyer's postal address might not be a correct indication of the state. 
Postal zip codes do NOT respect state boundaries. If that seems odd to 
you, imagine the situation where a road is the boundary between two 
states or crosses back and forth across the boundary. Do you imagine the 
post office sends two postal trucks, one to deliver to one side of the 
road and the other for the other side, or one to deliver to the 
stretches of road in one state and another for the stretches in the 
other state.

How many of us have customer databases that in addition to customer 
address, store the state where this actually is as opposed to just going 
by the state that the post office is in (for that zip code)
