“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.

I love visiting and shopping at B&H for most of my photography and videography needs. Their prices are kind of the gauge one can make in the market these days, almost a standard for purchasing something brand new. Some items may be able to be purchased elsewhere for cheaper, but I have a sense of confidence when purchasing through B&H that I am getting a quality product, and if it's not up to par they will do what they can to fix it (although I have only ever returned one product because I purchased the wrong item, I have read comments that have talked about their exchange policy for damaged items and it seems to be a fair process). I would recommend using B&H if you're looking to purchase brand new gear because you know you will be getting it from a company that works directly with the manufacturers. Having visited the store in NY in person as well, it just seems like B&H truly knows what they're doing in this ever developing modern world. They offer a very easy to use and browse website, items usually have ample descriptions and offer all details and are very specific so it is easy to find the exact item you are looking for, prices are fair for purchasing something brand new and they offer deals very often on brand new items that are very tempting, and they offer very fast and prompt shipping. I've never had an issue with any of my orders that I have made through them. I have to say, I truly love B&H.

Quick and easy ordering process. I am very pleased. The prices were better than Target and Walmart and shipping was faster than Amazon (and free to boot). Well done B&H.

It was great to have all the information up front. Too many times you get to check out then it's random charge after random charge. Made it simple & easy!

Just bought this Oben AC-1441 4-Section Aluminum Tripod with BA-111 Ball Head, on an EDU "Flash Deal", for $72.96, normally $139.95, for a savings of 48%! FREE Shipping. Just applied and got the Payboo card, so the TAX was instantly refunded! What a Deal!

Always appreciate B&H "Flash Deals", and frequently find something good, at a great price!

Even though I live in CA, and B&H is on the East Coast, they are often my camera and electronics go to store. I just ordered on a Monday, 5 PM Pacific, 8 PM Eastern time, and the item that is shipping for FREE should be to me, across the country by Friday.

Thanks B&H, and REALLY APPRECIATE, now having the Payboo card to get the TAX charge INSTANTLY reversed. What a fantastic service!
