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.

Needed to round out an order for a sd card for a zoom h1n that i got second hand from B&H. 4 packs of guitar strings justifies the 3.99 shipping that would have happened with just the card. I ordered a 64gb card initially that is too big for the zoom, but that fit in the a5000 i got at a pawn shop that i use to illustrate this review.

All it said in the cell phone description was Note: "box" and had very obvious links to all the accessories you might need. So I expect to get the box. Hoping it includes the charger and cable. Otherwise fair price. Like having a warranty.

Whether online or in the superstore, B&H is the place to find and buy the best products. Been shopping here for over 15 years when I need photo or video equipment, and sometimes for large and small electronics besides.

Wonderful service
November 27, 2019

Great selections of computers and prices. Fast shipments, Sales tax refunds. I have made multiple purchases from them, not a problem every time. Latest purchase was discounted an extra $100 after my purchase. I emailed to request that they honor the lower price, and they refunded the difference to me.

My wife and I ordered a lot of camera/video equipment from then in the past week. They got part of my wife's order wrong. When I called them about it they said we could either ship it back and after they receive it and inspect it (3-5 days), they would ship us a replacement. The other choice we had is to pay for a new one and ship the old one back. If we had ordered the wrong thing then I could see these options. We placed the order correctly and they made the mistake. They Arne't willing to fix their mistakes. They want the customer to pay for their mistakes. We will never shop here again.

Web No: 1060025341 Thank you for your order and this feedback. We regret your dissatisfaction. It is industry-standard practice for a retailer to receive a customer's return before shipping a different (or another) item. The standard alternate option is a return-for-refund while the customer simply places a new order for the item originally wanted. I am sorry neither of these options was satisfactory. In particular circumstances we can advance ship the new item as soon as we can confirm the item to be returned is en route to us. FedEx does not show the return in their system yet, but as soon as it is we can accommodate you with an advance replacement. I have emailed details. -- Henry Posner / B&H Photo-Video
