Hi guys, I just ordered the canon rf 200-800 today and am super excited for it, my worry is about the order times, I have a roadtrip next month that I want the lens for and am nervous it would get here in time, anyone have reassurance or recommendations? Thanks!

Hi Lakem0310
B and H is closed for the Memorial Day weekend and they won't start processing your order untill Tuesday 5-28-24. When they start processing your order they'll send you an email with the eta. (estimated time of arrival).. You can also call them on Tuesday 5-28 and ask them to expedite. Did you request express shipping ? You still have other options, you can cxl the order and reorder from Amazon as they can deliver orders the very next day and they give you eta before you make the order. B and H works with Amazom and you'll see the following:
Sold by: B and H
Shipped by: Amazon
So technically you're still buying it from B and H. Or you ou can buy it from Amazon directly (Amazon is an official canon distributor) and it will read
Sold by: Amazon
Shipped by: Amazon
I hope this helps you.

I'm going to check with B&H tomorrow. Then, I'll do like Tom and use their Payboo card so that I can pay it interest free for a year. Sounds like a good deal. Then you'll get yours before me Rick ! lol

Hey Tom
You are right B&H only puts a pending hold on your CC for two days and doesn't charge your CC account until they actually ship your order. It seems that I originally called the wrong company which is posted on the Canon website, B&C in Nevada and they're the ones that will charge your CC account the full charge upon ordering. My mistake. I will order it from B&H when I come back from my trip. Thanks and congrats again. 👍

If you don't have that Payboo card yet, it is not an instant credit like most places, it took about ten days or so to get it, I have no idea why.

Hopefully that wait time keeps getting shorter.

Hi Tom,
I hope so too ! 🙏 If it will take 10 days to get Payboo, I'll just use my cred itcard. 🙂

I received mine today from a local retailer in Chicago.
It has also been removed from the Canon delayed shipping web page so that's a good sign.

Very happy to hear the RF 200-800 is off the delayed shipping list. Maybe I'll get a spooky 👻 🎃 surprise or early turkey .
I got my PayBoo card in 2022. I received instant approval. Maybe it was because I had a body and bunch of other goodies in my cart 🤔 I didn't get the physical card for 10 days, but B&H let me shop with it immediately.

Oh Rick, you should of told me that I could shop immediately after approval of the Payboo card, cause I would of applied for one today. My credit would've been approved as fast as yours if not faster. I thought that it took them 10 days for approval. No matter I already ordered it on my Visa that will reimburse me 5% of the purchase. Rick, you might have your new RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 lens as stuffing in your Thanksgiving turkey! 😆 I know you'll get yours before mine is manufactured! 😆
