I allways shot with Picture Style Neutral or SuperFlat , which cause the Pic to be a little bit unsharp. I then use DPP and sharpen the Images ( RAW)
But mostley it is an god Idea to send your Equipment ( Lens and Body) to Canon Service so that the y can calibrate the SetUp I do that with every new Lens and Body SetUp

As you analyze your 'sharpness' issues
make sure you consider:
camera shake
slow shutter speeds
focusing issues
aperture issues
before you send in your lens
try tripod mounted shots at 1/100-1/250 with apertures of 4.0 or 5.6 (sweet spot for a lot of lenses)
also try single point focus as a trial especially at apertures 2.0 and below

^Definitely do this first.
OOF, shutter speeds too slow, IS turned on while on tripod, MA may be needed. There are a lot of things to check to make sure it's not user error before sending it in. Otherwise you get a lens back from Canon and have the same issues.
