Thanks

In USA, the cameras that come specific for sale in USA are more expensive than the so called "Gray market stuff" that are same product, designed to be sold anywhere in the world but USA and these come with world wide warranty policies, usually 10-15 percent cheaper than US versions so you actually can get more better deal.
No harm to make a on line search. Look to this link:

Without the lens the price should start just north of US$750.
I think it is cheaper than UK but I could be wrong. I have seen duty free shop prices of several countries even more expensive that usual store in USA.
BTW if you are buying form one of these on line site, be very jarful to check the "Rating" of the shop, and number of people who have voted. You wont go wrong with well reputable sellers such as B&H, buydig, Camerabeach. All experienced by me personally (Last two are actually one seller but surprisingly at times with different prices). If your friend in NY or NJ he might be able to pickup the product himself as most cheap large seller shops are there.
So the magic word for you is Gray Market item.
Have fun.
