“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.

Talk about quick and easy. Website allows you to pull up past orders and re-order same items without looking them up. Stores your billing/credit card info. Couldn't be easier!

In dealing with the folks at B&H - pre-sell / sell / or returns processing - They are always professional and courteous. 99% of the time they have the answers for my questions.

Everything about B&H Photo screams PRO.
I normally purchase most of my consumer electronics on Amazon but when it comes to professional Audio, Video and Photography equipment, B&H is my go-to one-stop-shop site.
If you really want to get blown away, next time you're in NYC, go visit their mega store on 34th St. Every sales person is a professional expert and can answer any questions about the items they sell.
Pricing is normally the same as Amazon, however there are deals that can be had for savvy consumers. For example, I recently purchased a ZTE Axon 7 smartphone through B&H. Not only was it cheaper than Amazon, B&H threw in a FREE pair of JBL Bluetooth headphones worth $60.
Bottom line: Highly recommended.

Online is about as smooth as the brick and mortar store. Could easily find what I wanted and the prices are reasonable. I am a repeat customer and will continue to check b&h for my gear needs.

I have been buying from B&H for my photography needs for years! Generally, you can not beat their prices and if they do not have it in stock, it is most likely the fault of the manufacture.

I have been a customer since 1978. Why? Trust, Integrity, Loyalty are lofty terms that take a while to establish. B&H has held that title in my mind since my first purchase. It won't change. Go B&H!
