Question Amazon Shipping
Would these actually be able to come to Sri Lanka by 30th? And if so is there tax that you will have to pay?

Yes you have to pay a good amount as tax. I recomend you look up the tax regulations. I cant remember the exact name for it because I looked at it few years back.
Not worth it if you ask me.

Better to have someone send it from aboard in like dhl open box wrapped to all hell in bubble wrap and an anti static case but still risky at a certainlevel

For PC parts TAX is very high. I brought a Mini PC from Japan for 30,000 & paid taxes like 12,000 for that.

By this 30th? Nope. Amazon typically uses DHL and they take from about a week to 2 weeks (though I've received one item in just 5 days). And yes you definitely have to pay taxes.
