Digitalrev: if they have the kit in stock it will probably be in HK. I dont know if I would woont to risk it with the UK customs, trying to convince them the its already paid. + it wil be an import body so wont have euro warranty (only lens have worldwide).
If play.com dont want to release the info does that mean that have no stock and dont know when they will get it?

However i was told by DigitalRev that if i buy off its website and pay tax there then i wont pay when the item is delivered. Ever tried this method?

That is not correct. You can only pay UK taxes to the UK customs dept.
What some HK dealers promise is that they will refund you any tax you have to pay - presumably meaning that they have learnt how to get their stuff past customs without paying - declaring it as having little or no value etc

Ok just got off the phone with digital rev, basically what happens when you order from ebay and from their website are 2 different things. On the website you get charged tax by them and they will pay tax on your behalf when it enters the country. On ebay you're on your own and have to pay whatever the amount you're charged.
So i bit the bullet and ordered it from there - expected delivery date to my grubby paws is 2nd december. Way overpriced i know but its the only way i could get this in time for Xmas - if you dont have a preorder, the earliest i found is february 2009.
On a side note what is the price that 24-105mm lenses sell for (taken out of kit unused).
