“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.

It has good student offers but to keep a customer using it constantly, they should have a loyalty program like best buy does. Its comforting.

I Ordered a nikon z6ii mk ii thinking it was a US warranty. Come to find out, it's a gray market and the way to find out that it is gray market is to look in "what's in the box section" and see where it says BH warranty. That's what read between the lines actually means because they will scam you into paying full price for a gray market item. Once I found out it was gray market, I called and spoke to a manager that was condescending and spoke down to me making sound like a liar. When I asked where it indicated it was a gray market item, he said it was under the "mirrorless" word in the description page. When in fact it never did, then he says you have to look at it from your browser and not your phone. I order from my phone, all the time and it never indicated it, on there. Long story short, I am never buying from them again because there are plenty of other stores that wouldn't scam you into thinking you're buying US warranty item. B&H, I've been ordering from you for over 20 years and it will stop now. I also spoke to another manager and he wasn't any better. Sure he was apologetic but that's no good! I hope you shop around before going to them! Never again!

Tip for consumers:
Buy somewhere else

There was a time it was much faster to go though checkout.

You DID NOT let me know when I applied for the "Payboo" card that you would be doing a credit check that would lower my credit score!

Thanks for your interest in B&H Photo and for this feedback. Payboo is a store-brand credit card and when you apply for a credit card a credit check is standard. Our Payboo FAQ advises TransUnion and/or Experian. Are used to consider your application. Credit score reductions a part of a credit application are usually brief and the original score restored quickly. -- Henry Posner / B&H Photo-Video
