“B&H Photo”

Jacob g.
4/2/24

After many purchases from B&H I really trust them. I cancelled my amazon prime subscription because most items I would buy off amazon I can get from B&H, and I got tired of wondering if I was going to get a genuine product in the mail from amazon. They always have what I need(primarily photography equipment) at a reasonable price, pack it well for shipping, and ship fast. One of the few companies I would feel comfortable asking for purchasing advice.

“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.

An excellent selection of specialized products for all tastes. Prices vary, depending on the brand and quality of the model, but in general not too overpriced.

B&H has been my go-to for photographic and computer equipment for about 20 years. They are fast, reliable, honest, helpful. What more could you ask for?

I've been a customer of B&H for many, many years. The fact that I keep coming back again and again says it all. Hard to think of any equipment in my pro kit that I didn't buy at this great store.

Verified purchase

What they sell is priced lower than A->z. This is not the first time I've bought from them. I've found it easy to find what I need and their delivery is reliable.

I purchased a photo album from B&H on May 13th. It is now June 27th and I still do not have the album. B&H is still offering the photo album for sale with a 2-4 week delivery time frame. I paid with PayPal on May 13th. B&H took my money on May 13th. I still don't have the Photo Album and they have had my money since May 13th. There Customer Service stinks. They have no idea when I am going to receive the photo album. I finally told them to cancel the order and return my money which they have not done yet. I could have purchased the same album elsewhere. I thought B&H was reputable but apparently they aren't!

Henry P. – B&H Photo Video Rep

Re B&H Web No: 106297336 Thank you for your order and this feedback. We regret your dissatisfaction. We are sorry the ETA provided to us by the vendor has turned out to be over-confident and appreciate your patience. Unfortunately there is no in-stock direct replacement or alternate for the Pioneer photo album cover you ordered. We get ETA information from our vendors so when it is inaccurate or unavailable, it is the vendor, not B&H, which is responsible for the lapse. You may want to ask customer service to change your payment method to a credit card in which case we would refund the current payment and not charge your card until the item actually ships. -- Henry Posner / B&H Photo-Video

I am a High School photo instructor, I buy TONS of photo gear and equipment... B&H service is consistently lame... it sucks... the reps that I talk to are arrogant and condescending, less than helpful and rude. I recently had an issue with a tripod that I bought from them, they told me to contact the manufacturer, when I asked for the number, the rep told me to google it.
I AM PREPARING TO SPEND 25,000 ON NEW CAMERAS FOR MY DEPARTMENT AND
I WILL NEVER BUY FROM B&H AGAIN.

The man who answered did not know what I wanted even though, in fact, you do carry the item. I had to ask a friend who gave me the proper link. Then, of course, it was a very easy order.

Competitive prices, great website interface. Free shipping when I didn't expect it. Thanks B&H!
Only thing I don't like is the 100 character minimum in the review section. Why is this?
