Ordering From Canon vs Amazon/Adorama, B&H, etc...

I've been trying to order a Canon R6 mk II. Long story short, Adorama messed up my orders shipping speed that they cant correct, Amazon messed  up the shipping speed and they cant correct. I finally got frustrated and ordered directly from Canon.

I'm really only concerned about the return times, the other two have longer return periods vs canon. Amazon ends up being cheaper (their two year insurance is cheaper and I paid for overnight delivery with canon to get the camera here for an event this weekend.)

Does anyone have anything negative to say about ordering right from canon? I'm mainly only concerned about the ease of return should I need to. I could cancel the order with canon and ship with Amazon to get it here before this weekend, but it might be a pain to cancel with canon? Not sure yet.

Also concerned about Amazons ability to get me a non broken, non-"used being sold as new", non scam camera. I've heard horror stories of stolen packages, missing items, and bricks inside the boxes, and not issuing refunds if there's a problem.

Canon EOS R6
