“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.

Pros:

As a newbie photographer, I had always heard great things about B&H. After hours of research, I finally purchased my first mirrorless camera here (Canon EOS M50). I was thrilled when it arrived OVERNIGHT for free (as the warehouse is only one state away). Incredible!

Next, during the shopping process, I had several questions to ask, which all received great answers quickly from the awesome community here. I also had to work with their support, and the experience was quick and painless.

Finally, I have their Payboo card, and the savings is HUGE! Even if they don't have the best price on an item, saving on the sales is a benefit that absolutely can't be beat ANYWHERE for me (NYS resident). As such, this makes their prices the best ANYWHERE on virtually everything I need (computers, PC components, and now camera gear).

Cons:

TO BE FAIR, my ONE complaint with B&H is stocking. I do feel like they are constantly dealing with "Backordered" items, and in several cases now I have had to shop at other retailers as a result. I know we live in turbulent times, and I'm sure this plays a role, as I only started shopping here in 2020. My camera purchase was indeed backordered, but it did ship within their estimated time frame (7-10) days, and the lightning fast delivery helped make up for the delay. I don't think this warranted docking a full star, but definitely a half of a star. If I could make my review a "4.5" I would have *hint hint nudge nudge*.

Summary:
As someone with Amazon-fatigue, I'm tired of buying from the faceless giant, where support is non-existent and everything is a Chinese knock-off. I'm so happy to have found B&H, and even more excited about the speed of shipping, the quality customer support, and the great store interface. B&H is now my GO-TO site, where I will always check here first for all of my online shopping needs.
