Who purchased the EOS R5 body alone vs Body + 24-105 F4 Kit?

So I found out today that I will not receive one of the first shipments for the EOS R5. That got me wondering about the number of people who might have purchased the same kit I purchased and whether or not that matters to the seller when compiling a list of orders. More specifically, are we all in the same queue regardless of what we ordered (body only vs body + kit lens) or is there a separate queue for each? When I purchased my X-T4, I thought I read somewhere that the body only orders were filled first with the body + kit lens orders shipped later. Is that the same here for Canon?

In any case, the poll simply asks what you ordered but I'd love to get some insights into the questions above. TIA.

When I found out there was not a cost savings in buying the kit, I bought the 24-105 f4 on 7/8 and the R5 body on 7/9. I wasn't sure I would like the 24-105 over the 24-70 f2.8, so I didn't want to get into an issue having to return the entire kit just to swap out the lens. I have always used the 2.8's, but wanted something with a bit more reach and a little lighter. The RF 24-105 f4 + RF 100-500 f4.5-7.1 + 1.4x TC covers 24mm - 700mm with 2 lenses and a TC. I wish the 100-500 was f6.3, but you can't have everything and noise performance of the R5/R6 looks good.

I also think the RF 24-105 f4 will be better with the 8 stops of IS versus using it on the original R.
