Whilst looking for a new camera, I came across this site:

Has anyone used them before and is it open to UK nationals or just visitors from abroad that don't pay tax?

i bought a Black Macbook from them, At the time, they were retailing at £1029, and i got it for £850, so a good saving there.

Did you have any problems coming back into the country - are you supposed to declare it ?

You would not need to declare it because the items arent actually tax free they are tax paid and then the retailler drops the price buy what would be the vat, i work at an airport and to date have only bought one thing from dixons tax free because they really arent that cheap, i recently went to buy a new digi camera from them because they claimed to be an "internet beater" price, ie you wont find it cheaper else where, however I had a quick scout around and found it £10 cheaper at jessops when asked about this dixons answer was, i'd buy it from jessops if i was you

all the best
