The Canon Store now accepts backorders on out-of-stock lenses and cameras as their discounted sale prices. You can place an order for the refurbished RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM for $1899.00, the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM for $1599.00, or the EOS R6 Mark II at $1699.00. We don’t know for sure, but we expect that the store would ship the item when available, honoring the discounted sale price. The sale ends tomorrow.

I did this a few years ago, for a Christmas sale with two ordered the lens presumably in-stock, but ultimately they weren’t. Took months and months of waiting, and I was “lucky” to ultimately get one of the two lenses shipped (at the sale price). I abandoned the order for the second lens. Yes, this was during the pandemic with supply chain issues, etc. but the whole customer service experience (especially the website and the long wait times on the phone) wasn’t conductive to me ever wanting to do this again. B&H, yes. Canon direct, no.
