It appears that they throw in a lot of stuff I would not allow near my own equipment. I guess the blower and the micro fiber cloth are probably OK. But the Altura monopod, pack, and filters would be quickly trashed.
And what are the shipping charges?
Never mind. I just saw both are free shipping in the USA.

Assuming both are authorized Canon dealers ruled by a ‘minimum advertised price’ agreement for the lens, one (Goya) is including a bundle to add value rather than risk getting flak from Canon. It’s a common practice.

Just ask yourself if you would use the stuff in the bundle. A $12 monopod is risky as are $16 for a pack of three filters. Filter quality really matters. If you are buying an L lens, do you really want to put cheap filters on it?

The one on the left appears to be the better deal. With that one you get a backpack, some other lenses, a camera, filters, some kind of a stick, and a cool looking gray sack to put the lens in.

The B&H customer service before and after the sale which far outweighs the other useless stuff included.

Digital Goya is an out standing company with great customer service just as B&H is. Both are authorized venders. I have purchased from both. Would not hesitate to buy from either. When I purchased my Sigma 100-400 Digital Goya threw in the USB Dock plus a micro fiber lens cleaner which was very nice. The tripod was junk maybe okay for point and shoot. The price at the time I purchased was the same every where but with out the USB Dock. That is why I bought it there.

I would Google Goya reviews and see what they say about them as an online retailer. Many that have been brought up and talked about here on UHH have been shady but B&H and Adorama are NOT shady and are 5 star online camera stores with Excellent reputations. You can takes your chances with Goya, or buy from a reputable company.
I bought some stuff one time from B&H that included an iPad, and UPS lost the order. 2 days later B&H replaced the order and, yes, there was a few days delay, but they took care of it and then they dealt with UPS to find the lost or stolen order. And, as you can see, they now use FedX to deliver their products. I guess they got tired of UPS loosing their orders.

Take the stuff you don’t want and donate it.
Most schools have camera clubs full of po folks that would be happy with it.
My first monopod was a tripod screwmount on one end and a large washer on the other with a piece of speaker wire soldered to both ends.
At that point I would have loved to have the kit.
