it's small, but I'm worried I'll miss the GPS!
The biggest problem with the store is that they make no indication what is backordered. The stuff I orderred from them was backordered everywhere else so I should have known.And One day my dream will come true as well... that is the R5 and R6 are available in the Canon refurbished store and there is a 15% discount . The reality is unless Canon fixes up their online store it will be frustrating and disappointing. My RP+RF24-240 kit that I ordered on Dec 1 (order was placed in less that 1 hour 45 min after canon started the sale) has not shipped yet and I believe it never will.
The USA Canon store is tricky. Sometimes something shows as in stock. You add it to the cart and go through checkout and it shows you won't get it for awhile, you go back to the product page and it then says backordered.The biggest problem with the store is that they make no indication what is backordered.

This is interesting. Up to now I bought from E-Infinity and HDEW (UK based too) but now due to Brexit won't we have to pay additional import taxes?We are from Czech Republic and for the second time, we have bought thru the Panamoz.com. They are UK based. 3 years ago, they delivered only in terms of UK, so our friend picked it up for us. But nowadays, they deliver to other countries too, namely to EU countries, from France.
The price difference compared to our Czech market is so drastic, that we basically got 24-70/2.8 II for free to our 5DIV back then. Our R5 is on its way nowadays, along with the 24-70 and 70-200, both f2.8. It is a Taiwanese distribution imo, so who knows, what happens if your gear breaks, but then they offer a 3 years warranty. Maybe we were lucky, but for all those 10+ years, not a single Canon gear malfunctioned on us.
Check them out, they respond in hours. Although lens are marked as out of the stock, they were able to find ones for us, as we bought R5 + 2 lens, so it was attractive to them too.
From Panamoz site: "All import and customs charges are covered by us". If it's export, they can presumably deduct VAT from UK price and then use it to pay the EU VAT. Same with import tax where it is applied.This is interesting. Up to now I bought from E-Infinity and HDEW (UK based too) but now due to Brexit won't we have to pay additional import taxes?
I do hope so. But I cannot be sure what will happen in importation. In Greece there is a 3 range scheme:From Panamoz site: "All import and customs charges are covered by us".

Thanks! This is really useful information!No, because they have a warehouse in France, which is part of the EU. So they transfer our package there and then DHL delivers from France to CZ, so no import taxes there ....
Thanks! This is really useful information!
EDIT: I just noticed the following:
Currently we ship to the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, and the United States.

I might have to check again, last time I tried it worked with lenses but not with cameras.
They do not mention your country in shipping destinations however.Yes, and - 3 years ago, when we have bought our 5DIV set, there was no option to pay in our local currency. So we paid via a Paypal. This time, we were suggested to select our local CZ currency (which surprisingly got supported by Panamoz), ad it costed us cca 500 USD less, than to have currency exchange done by Paypal themselves!

Did you ask for an exception or maybe their policy was different back then?
