Canon Direct is offering $100 off on new 100-400 pre-order for short time.

Well ... I'd like to announce I just received the first lens today in the post from my pre-order of the 100-400II.
Knock on the door ... delivery .. not expecting anything today ... open the box ... I see 100-400 .. thinking wow, first one in the world to be delivered ... looking for the II on the end of the lens name .... nup .. idiots sent me the version I ....
I'm now listed as being "order done" ..... invoice says 100-400 II and the price is $2,599 ... Idiots.

Back to "still waiting" .. with the added hassle now to re-package and send back ... as well talk to some guy on the phone to explain it all.

Just to clarify, was that Canon Australia? Did they offer $100 off as well?

No, I ordered through Ted's camera stores .... it was shipped from the Melbourne store, I'm in South Coast NSW.
It's just gone 8.30 am here now and their online phone line will be open .. time to explain to someone there now.

OK.

The topic was about Canon direct in the USA, I didn't think you were discussing the same thing.
