CommentI trust B&H. They are always there to answer questions before I place an order-- and they're invariably helpful and friendly. Also, I've never had a problem returning an item. Most especially-- for a company so successful, they still place faith and humanity above commerce. An example to follow.

CommentI like that B&H shows on their web site whether an item is currently in stock. My order was shipped quickly, and the lens was shipped separately to arrive earlier even though holding it to make a single shipment would have only delayed it by one day. That is really proactive customer service.

CommentMy wife is a professional photographer and I am a Director of Technology for my employer. I have had nothing but great experiences when ordering from B&H. We buy most of her equipment from them and I purchase many of the video related items for my employer there. They do what they say they will and sell what they say they are selling. Rock Solid!

CommentThe order processed quickly enough, not complaining about that, and I'm getting it within 3 days of having bought my PMX100 headphones, but my real problem is the Mail-In-Rebate. I bought the headphones under the assumption that there was a $10 rebate, making the headphones cost an amazing $25. After having made the order, I came to a rather obnoxious revelation. Their rebate consists of getting $10 for returning those headphones as "old" or as a trade in, that sort of thing; not a standard mail-in rebate. Jipped.

CommentThis is my second order from B & H For Camera and equipment. This most recent order is for a Point and Shoot Canon A720 IS for my wife. My Canon EOS 5D with large lenses and their accompanying weight is much more camera than she wants or needs. B & H is my most highly regarded camera and equipment source on the internet. They are reputable with competitive prices, excellent service and prompt delivery. My third order will be with B & H because of their past excellent performance...

CommentThis is my first order from B&H. I generally prefer to buy from local stores. I've also ordered online from a B&H competitor. One reason that I purchased from B&H with confidence is that I've just about never heard of a situation that went wrong and that B&H didn't cure very quickly. They probably are the biggest and best online camera store there is. This is a top-notch company with great ethics in a world where most online camera stores are scammers.

I just wish they'd redo their website to make it easier to drill down to find things.

CommentTop of the line! If they could just match another popular NY stores prices, I would buy all my photography gear from them. Top rate products, top rate customer service, consistently super fast delivery. High prices are their weak point, thus I occasionally buy the expensive gear from "the other store", although it's overall customer satisfaction as far as service,falls far below B&H.

CommentI bought a Canon GL2 a few weeks ago and it came broken. I called Canon's support line and they were helpful in figuring out what was wrong with the camera. Apparently the focusing motor was malfunctioning so it wouldn't focus whenever I zoomed in on anything. I took advantage of B&H's 15 day return policy. I called B&H to get it set up and they were extremely helpful in getting my camera shipped back to them, processing my new order, and shipping me a new camera. There was no hassle at all and it was very quick. My camera got to my house on the day that I was told it was supposed to ship out...that's service.

CommentI've already had two orders from B&H in the past month, and both times I've been extraordinarily pleased. The prices are among the best I've found, they have a very good selection of gear/gadgets/gizmos. They shipped immediately, packed well, and I received my items within 2 days using ground shipping. They'll have my support for a long time to come.

CommentIn the case of this order, the items were higher than another online sourse. However, the shipping was cheaper, which balanced out to the same price. Being that I have done business in the past with B&H Photo I chose to do so again. Their service has always been more than satisfactory.

CommentI've purchased a number of times from B&H. In fact, most of my photographic equipment has been purchased here because of reasonable pricing, excellent service, excellent packaging and support after the sale. I would not hesitate to recommend B&H to anyone and I will be buying from them again!

CommentI have to give B&H an A1 rating. Why? because I have tried other low price merchants and remember this... You get what you pay for. If you think you are going to get a low price for an item without any problem forget it. I have tried. B&H's price is a little more but you get good service which is worth more than the few dollars you will save from other vendors. I have learned my lesson. Stay with a company who is fair and gives good service. I have learned my lesson. Period

CommentHonestly I much prefer to support my local photography businesses. After all, they are the ones I go to as a resource for help- and their time and expertise costs them a lot of money. So obviously I prefer to support them.

However, B&H always has great prices and as far as I've ordered, including a camera and lens, they have been great.

I know a lot of other professional photographers who love them and use them often, and the major complaint/fear is "what happens when something breaks or goes wrong- how long will it take to get a replacement!"

I don't know how long, I'm pretty new, but I do know that when they beat out local retailers by $100 or more for some lenses, well I'm going to take that risk that I have to wait a little longer to get things fixed.

CommentI don´t know why I´m wasting my time with another evaluation of B & H. I´ve shopped with them several times and rated them highly already and have found that their reputation is outstanding and well known. They´re highly reccommended in many photography circles already. I don´t think yet another satisified customer is going to improve their standing any more.

Ordered a Nikon D80 and the 18-200 lens, in stock, no monkey business, no pushy salesman, no flim-flam. Shipped on time, UPS tracking info available, arrived on time, in good condition. Every thing worked perfectly. I highly recommend B&H - they seem to be the real deal. Hardrunner, Tucson, AZ.

CommentThis is my second order from B&H in less than one month. I find their on-line store to be easy to search, navigate and complete my purchase. I consider B&H a First Rate operation. I always get my products in new, unopened condition, as ordered, no delays and no excuses. They post availability of a product on their order page and if it is not in stock they give one the option of being notified by e-mail when it is again available. I like that! I'm tired of sites that jerk one around about being back ordered AFTER they accept your purchase and credit card info. I'll keep B&H as my primary source for photo/video equipment.

CommentB&H charges your credit card immediately upon receiving your order whether or not they can ship. I waited for 6 months for my order before being told it was no longer available. Meanwhile they had my money and I paid the interest. Not my way to do business.

CommentAnother great shopping experience with B&H. Used the Wish List feature for the first time. Worked great. They might be able to trim away a mouse click or 2, but did the job. Let me build up my order over several days of research, then buy quickly in one order to avoid double shipping charges.

outstanding selection and technical information, which is always my reason for reason for returing to b&h. they have the goods that others do not, and have the information to avoid buying gear that doesn't suite my use.

their prices are pretty good. i find better prices, but those merchants don't deliver reliably.

yeah i'm hooked on b&h. does some one have the cure?

CommentI knew this was a first-class company when my grandfather bought his entire Nikon system from them in the early 90s (back in the day when ordering was done through a phone call and referring to the 300+ page B&H brochure). Seeing how I was burned by a local firm (Helix Camera for the record), I decided to give B&H my business. 2 dSLR bodies, 2 grips, a flash, and 2 L-class lenses later, I'm still very impressed with the speed and professionalism these guys work! I would not hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone looking to get reasonably priced imaging equipment, Thanks B&H!

CommentMy order has arrived, complete, in good condition, and one working day earlier than the original projection. Kudos to the shipping department, packing was the best I've received in many years and shipments. This was a web purchase. I like the website. I particularly like email confirmation of shipping with tracking number included. All in all, a fully positive experience. I will happily recommend the store.
One note -- I read reviews of various stores before buying. I purchased from B&H because of the replies B&H has posted to some reviews. It's not so much what was said, but the proof that someone in the company is paying attention to these reviews and to customer's concerns.
