“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.

Easy to check out with fair and reasonable service for Canada. Good prices and good selection. Used to deal with B&H when I lived in N. Y. and glad to see that they're still a great place to buy.

I order all of my electronics through B&H. They have great service, prices, and free shipping. I am extremely happy with them and I will continue to buy what I need from them.

Tip for consumers:
Be sure to look at the total you pay. Even if you pay more for the product, not having to pay for tax and shipping can make your total less than if you buy at a local place or Amazon.

Ordering is quick and convenient and the overnight shipping is a real benefit. I needed my most recent order by the next day to meet a scheduled photographic tour. B&H was the answer.

Over the past few years I have ordered from them several times. I've also had to return something, and exchange something. Have had no problems for them at all. I'd use them again.

B&H is one of the best & most reliable companies I've ever dealt with. They list new items at the same time as Apple. They even ship it as early as apple does.

Best price! Good info. I got a Sony lens a couple months ago and so far so good. Just ordered a Pico projector today. We will see if the product lives up to the good review.

Half my extensive camera collection came from B&H; the other half was made LONG before B&H came into existence. Can't beat the knowledge, selection, quality, prices, OR THE ALL IMPORTANT SERVICE. Keep up the excellent work!

Ordered a keyboard for a birthday via Expedited shipping that was supposed to be 2-3 business days. Received product 7 business days later. Wasn't shipped until 4 days after order! Called customer support (what a joke) and received a gift card for their website (another joke). DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE! Not even with a free gift card.

Tip for consumers:
Use caution when buying from these people. NOT a reliable company. I have made many purchases on the internet and have never had an experience like this!

Found what I was looking for in seconds and saved the tax with Payboo. Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo had to have 100 characters in review. That's the only thing that sucked!
