I ordered rf 100-500 from canon direct USA this afternoon and it has already shipped should be here on Tuesday still says in stock on website

Ditto. They showed in stock at the Canon USA store on Apr 20 and I ordered one. It arrived today (Apr 23).

Are they charging a shipping fee?

Yes. I paid $16 for 3-7 business days. As I wrote, it took 3 to get here. There were two options for quicker shipping at higher costs.

$16 not bad then. I don’t like paying any shipping but in the case of no inventory and you want something you pay for shipping when you find it.

We are all hoping things change soon and production is up when things get back to somewhat normal.

$16 on $2600 is not even a rounding error. It would be strange to be comfortable spending that much on a lens, but shipping is a dealbreaker.

I would only pay for shipping when I have no other choices. In regards to the discussed lens, if you can’t find it anywhere else with free shipping and you want it now, paying for shipping is a no brainer especially with that price point.
