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.

They Make It So Easy
February 25, 2020

I picked off a few things from my wish list and they make is super easy to move stuff from the list to the cart to out-the-door. Some sites make it a pain to buy anything, but not here.

I have been a customer for about 7 years and have always received great service! It's much quicker than my local photo shop. Payboo is a nice addition.

As a retired photography professor I've recommended B&H to hundreds of students over the years due to the great service and honesty of the firm. I would never consider another source for my needs.

I've never had any issues purchasing photo or computer gear from B&H. They nearly always have the lowest prices, have free shipping, and great customer service as well. I purchased some security cameras for our office, then found out upon receipt that I had ordered the wrong model... they shipped out the replacement model before I had even sent the others back, and credited me in full upon receipt of the wrong ones... I always check with B&H first!

I love 'em!
February 17, 2020

Short and to the point. I've bought bunches of paper and ink (and other stuff) from B&H. They've always had what I've been looking for, competitively priced. They've always shipped quickly and well packed to protect the contents. They've never gotten my order wrong. I've never been disappointed with a product first-time bought from them. They're solicitous of my appraisal.

If you've got something negative to say about them, you're not likely to hear me say, "Come on down to the pub. I'll buy the first round." -- Dee Johnson

Was searching for devices to use for digital image storage while travelling. The Live Chat staff at B&H were of invaluable assistance when answering questions to ensure I got the equipment that suited my needs and budget.

CS Responds very quickly
February 15, 2020

I thought I had an issue with a drive and they processed the RMA with no hassles at all. I did further testing and it turns out it was the equipment it was hooked up to, not the drive. I emailed them to cancel the RMA and again, they responded quickly and professionally. Now I'm buying 4 more the drives for rotating backup purposes. FWIW, I would rather deal with a smaller business than Amazons or Wallyworlds when I can. The price on the drives matched the big-A's price and shipped them for free (without making me join a $100/year prime service). Why wouldn't I buy from them?
I found them from a posting on SlickDeals. I'm glad I did.
