Cheers John

I think SRS said recently that early Jan they were expecting delivery. As long as it arrives in time to claim the £80 cashback I'll be happy

If there is any delay, you could ask SRS to bill it before it's too late for the cashback. It shouldn't make any difference to them, and it would allow you to collect the cashback money.

Problem is you need to put the camera serial number on the cashback claim form

You claim when you receive the camera. If the invoice states that it was bought before the cash back ends, it should be alright.

If he's that tight about his 21 quid (the VAT difference), I doubt it Gareth!
