“Urgent: Misdelivery Issue and Fraud Concerns”

Marco L.
12/4/24

My name is Marco, and I'm from Brazil. I made an international purchase on the B&H website on 11/26/24, with delivery scheduled for 11/27/24. I work in content creation and recording for the internet, and I purchased an SSL2 interface. The delivery address was in Kissimmee, FL. This order was to be brought to me by a friend. I tracked the delivery on the B&H website, and the package arrived on 11/27/24. I contacted my friend to confirm if everything was correct. To my surprise, the product didn't arrive. I checked the FedEx website and saw that the package had been sent to 166 Bristol Ave, Hyannis, MA 02601, *******503. I contacted B&H to report the issue, and their response was that the product had been delivered and that nothing could be done. They said their website confirms delivery data before completing the purchase, which didn't happen in my case, as no such confirmation appeared for me. I double-checked the Kissimmee, FL address before completing the order. It's important to mention that earlier this year, I made another purchase through B&H to the same address, and everything went smoothly. However, this situation is much more serious. Outraged by this delivery error, I started researching online and found other serious reports of customers facing similar issues, and it seems that these occurrences are being completely ignored. In my opinion, there are signs of a scheme where criminals are compromising B&H's website, possibly using USB devices in places with internet access that prevent IP identification. These intruders interfere with the purchase process, redirect products to alternate addresses, and no one notices, not even B&H. I wrote to the company asking them not to ignore my report, as they have a great reputation, and this is jeopardizing their legacy. Please consider the following: How could I have specifically directed the shipment to 166 Bristol Ave, Hyannis, MA 02601, *******503? I wouldn't have known how to detail that address. I have no personal or professional connections to anyone in that region. If I had received any notification about a different address, I would have noticed the error and corrected it immediately before completing the purchase. Why was this address concealed, and why wasn't I notified? I only discovered this Massachusetts address on FedEx's website, as it was never shown to me. This situation clearly indicates a serious problem. Please understand that I am facing both a financial loss and a serious impact on my work. I am a digital content creator who depends on this equipment and trusted your store. As an American company, I believe B&H should value consumer rights. I've asked them not to ignore this issue. There are clear signs of fraud that will continue unless addressed. Finally, considering the clear security failure in B&H's online transaction system, I understand that B&H holds co-responsibility for completing this compromised transaction. I should not be penalized for the vulnerability of B&H's system. I have requested a solution beyond the responses of "we can't do anything" or "you wrote the wrong address." I need this product to continue my work. I've provided my phone number here in Brazil in the hope of a real solution to this issue. Thank you for your attention, and I eagerly await a satisfactory response from B&H.

B&H always has the right stuff at the right price. Fast & Free shipping on orders over $49. Product reviews by buyers, not tech gurus. Multiple photos of products and accessories. Specifications for products. The ability to comparison shop similar items. Weekly specials on many items.
I have done business with these guys for many years and have always been a satisfied customer! I highly recommend B&H!

Received my TV and upon switching on the screen was busted. They refused to exchange or refund because I had not reported the damage within 2 days(my fault as I was away and only opened the TV when I returned) Spent $350 for pile of junk. They could have easily see that this damaged was caused at the packing stage.

Thank you for your order and this feedback. We regret your dissatisfaction. Our return policy specifies, "... claims for missing items or items damaged in transit must be received within two business days of receipt of merchandise." We try to be flexible about this policy but when a customer allows many days to elapse any retailer ha to show some degree of discipline. -- Henry Posner / B&H Photo-Video

B&H is my preferred supplier when it come to anything they sell. Always receive fast response to my questions (I uses their Chat feature) All my shipments have arrived on time, and in good condition. Unlike Amazon they don't ship you opened box goods when you purchase a product that is new. I have always felt their prices to be fair on camera and computer equipment. Completely satisfied and would recommend them to anyone!

Tip for consumers:
There chat is usually fast and very knowledgeable

I have purchased several camera and computer products through B&H in the last 8 or 10 years. They are always a little cheaper than elsewhere, even for "price controlled" products like Apple or Cannon. Free delivery and no taxes make them almost always the best price I can find. And, I got a free gift card with a recent purchase, which I used to get a new camera bag.

My husband and I each ordered both items on his want list on the same day, Dec 6, even though he knows you don't order anything for yourself in December. Anyway, both orders arrived the same day. I immediately contacted B&H, explaining the situation and providing both order numbers and asking for an exception to the non-returnable software policy. Denied. I am very disappointed that there was no flexibility.

I usually use B&H for routine supplies and items I don't need to see "in person" before buying. But whatever I purchase from them, and I've been buying from them for years, they are reliable, competitive in their pricing, and have never had a single problem with any of my transactions. All in all, good people providing good service. That's all I ask of any vendor.

Four stars because I never give five star reviews. Ever.

My sound-card died on my laptop, tried everything to fix it. Decided to get a USB card. Went to my computer parts supply store, then decided to see if B&H carried any. I purchase all my Camera and video equipment even since I move out of NY from B&H. Sure enough they had several quality options and even better prices. Done!

Perfect service and fair prices over the past 15 years. I have had zero problems with purchases of wide format printers to high end cameras and lenses and all sorts of stuff in-between. If I ever do have a problem I am confident that the problem will be fixed... FAST. B&H Rocks!

B&H has proven to be a reliable partner, not just in the past but especially now while building up a work-from-home situation. Quick shipping all the way across the country, reviews of above-average intelligence to aid in decisions, and a less pushy, less noisy web layout make for a better experience. Checking out is very quick once an account is set up. And far fewer junk products take up space here. I consider B&H a reliable partner in the storm.

For camera and electronics B&H is one of my go to places. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is I placed the purchased item in my cart last week, got distracted for a couple hours and went back and it was $20 more. Today it is $3 less than it was last week. I realize prices are volatile but that is a bit much. I already bought one somewhere else and when I was looking for where to buy another an ad popped up showing B&H had it cheap again!

As much as I prefer the ease of ordering from home for delivery, it's great to go into the store and talk to experts there about gear I'm considering. I have never felt pressure and generally feel like I'm getting advice they would take themselves.

Was emailed a killer deal on an LED light. After a few min of research, my mind was made up and bought it. Generally these lights are out of my budget so I would have never gone looking. Thanks for passing along a great deal.

I've ordered many items from B&H over the years mostly cameras and photo equipment. I have never had a complaint or missed delivery. All products arrived well packed and in great condition. I Will continue to order my electronics, and cameras from B&H.

I've compared stores, brick and mortar and online, and B&H has the best range with good prices. I can also ask questions and get intelligent answers which helps me tremendously. Every lens and other precious piece has come well wrapped and in good working order. Though, the return process is easy if something were to go wrong. This is the best place to get your equipment.

Excellent pricing on the items I want to purchase and very quick shipping. I am redoing my 98 year old Mother's photo albums that span almost 100 years. B&H is now my go-to supplier for photo albums and filler pages. Thanks!

Check out process is definitely one of the easiest on the web. Thanks guys! Ordered an iMac computer and loved that I could customize what specs I wanted--other sites besides MacMall and Apple just do not offer that kind of customization.

Great selection of more than just photo and video gear. It's really a one stop shop for most all electronics needs. It's the first place I go and typically the last. They set the bar for prices and shipping is almost always free. Their used department is extremely trustworthy and their rating system hasn't failed me yet. They also provide an excellent online chat service. It's a just a great store.

Always reliable; great service in the store or on line. They stand behind their products. If you have a question when on line you can chat with an expert. Been doing business with them for several years and never a disappointment.
