B&H Photo Video Reviews Summary

B&H has established a strong reputation for offering a wide range of quality products, particularly in photography and electronics, often at competitive prices. Many customers appreciate the efficiency of their shipping and the informative nature of their website. However, there are notable concerns regarding customer service, including delivery issues, inadequate responses to complaints, and strict return policies that leave some customers feeling unsupported. While loyal customers value the company's product selection and pricing, the recurring complaints about service delays and lack of accountability suggest a need for improvement in their customer service approach.

I have been shopping with B&H since 1994. I can't be happier with their exceptional customer service.

Quick and responsive
August 17, 2017

Realized I ordered the wrong product when I received the package (fast delivery). When I called, received return authorization immediately with no questions asked! Reordered the right items.

Fast shipping and quick response. What more can you ask?!

Excellent experience!

These guys are great - very responsive to my questions; I love that they were offering free overnight shipping for the solar eclipse glasses. That's a class act!
Thanks again!

B&H snagged my order because a competitor site would not process my CC. But I am glad I did because I was able to get more for my money from B&H with free shipping.

LOVE B&H!
August 15, 2017

You can't go wrong with B&H. Great product info, great staff, great prices, and great shipping rates. Never an issue with any order and returns were a breeze. Patience and Kindness work wonders. I think the best part of buying something here is the option to add as many gift cards that you have AND split payments between credit cards. This came in handy when I had a Visa gift card. I used up the amount of the Visa gift card and put the remainder on my regular credit card. Not many online retailers have that kind of flexibility. Plus you can sometimes earn gift cards with purchases (usually 2-4% of purchase price) on select items. Two Thumbs Up!

I recently ordered a power adaptor for my Canon camera to use to shoot the total eclipse on July 21. When I ordered it I was told I would receive it in 3 days. After three days and no adaptor, I started trying to track to see where it was. I entered the tracking # which stated that it had been delivered. I had been signed for by someone I did not know. I phone customer service and explained that we are leaving Thurs. For Oregon and really need the adaptor before we leave. B&H customer service sent me out a second adaptor (of course I had to pay again. Will be credited back when I receive the new adaptor. To my surprise I received the adaptor the next day, with more research I noted that the previously "delivered" adaptor was what was delivered. I should receive the replacement on Tues. Or Wed. So far they have been great. Will update when the other adaptor shows up.

Love shopping at B&H
August 14, 2017

Amazon began charging sales tax in my area so B&H is a no brainer. If they have what I'm shopping for, they get my business 100%

Great experience always

I can probably count on one hand the amount of camera equipment I HAVEN'T bought from B&H. A majority of the lenses and cameras I've purchased have been used and all function exceptionally well. I find the prices to be fair and it's nice to have peace of mind when I'm buying a used product. I know it's been inspected, and though cosmetically there might be dings and chips, the glass is always flawless.

And the best part is I always hit the expedited shipping minimum so I never have to wait for days for my toys to arrive! :)
