70-200 f2.8 IS II refurbished - does it come with the collar?

Like the title says - does this beauty come with collar when purchased from Canon?

Yes, along with hood and zip case

I was looking through the refurb site and it seems all the good stuff is sold out, and it was 20% off the refurb price today. Were you able to order one?

actually my friend I was able to order 2.

Its a long story but as I posted in the market watch - I think if they don't cancel the order I will sell the other one - at price plus shipping or have canon ship the lens to them directly.

Got one still "Pending Shipment". I don't know what the problem is, I called and spoke with the "Admin Department" earlier today to verify my info, but still no change in status. So much for my 2 day shipping.

Be patient, they're probably swamped. I've found them to be very nice to deal with, helpful and competent.

Not very patient, but I have been very nice to them as they have been to me. Just frustrated though. Hoping my lens has shipped and the status has just failed to update.

Just Curious, How much did you pay for it?

$1599 +tax

New status this morning, "Warehoused".
