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 shopped B&H for a long time. In the 90s when I lived in Philadelphia, through now in Reno, NV. I only had one problem years ago, and it was handled in a professional and courteous manner. Can't really say there is an equal.

The Gold Standard
August 10, 2019

I've been shopping at B&H for years. B&H is the Gold Standard for photography gear retailers. The website is easy to use. Great reviews by real users. Great Comparison Feature with all the specs you need to make a good buying decision. Also a trustworthy source for electronics. No worry of getting sold a knock-off/black market product (a risk which is now so common at Am_zon).

B&H always has the quality sound and music equipment I need at a competitive price, and they provide excellent customer service. Even though I'm all the way across the country, I invariably end up ordering products from them because they always come through and have never disappointed me.

This company is great. Very efficient. Items always arrive when they say they will... or sooner. The couple of things I have had to return (not their fault) have been handled with extreme efficiency.

Why go anywhere else?
August 2, 2019

All in all. I seldom go anywhere else for technology. From user experience on the web, customer experience at their superstore and their knowledge and presence at countless conventions. B&H is a company I trust!

My husband and I have ordered numerous times from B&H. He orders cameras and related gear, I order computer(s) and related items. We usually have technical questions that they always have the answers to. They are so helpful. Shipping is amazing. We joke that as soon as we hang up the phone - the doorbell is ringing with our package. It is almost that fast! There is never any pressure, or gimmicks - just straight forward help - with REALLY knowledgeable, PROFESSIONAL staff. Their prices are also always competitive. We tell everyone we can to go to B&H. You guys should be nominated Company of the Century! <3

I love visiting and shopping at B&H for most of my photography and videography needs. Their prices are kind of the gauge one can make in the market these days, almost a standard for purchasing something brand new. Some items may be able to be purchased elsewhere for cheaper, but I have a sense of confidence when purchasing through B&H that I am getting a quality product, and if it's not up to par they will do what they can to fix it (although I have only ever returned one product because I purchased the wrong item, I have read comments that have talked about their exchange policy for damaged items and it seems to be a fair process). I would recommend using B&H if you're looking to purchase brand new gear because you know you will be getting it from a company that works directly with the manufacturers. Having visited the store in NY in person as well, it just seems like B&H truly knows what they're doing in this ever developing modern world. They offer a very easy to use and browse website, items usually have ample descriptions and offer all details and are very specific so it is easy to find the exact item you are looking for, prices are fair for purchasing something brand new and they offer deals very often on brand new items that are very tempting, and they offer very fast and prompt shipping. I've never had an issue with any of my orders that I have made through them. I have to say, I truly love B&H.

I have been purchasing from B&H since I was in high school. There is simply no reason for me to shop elsewhere. I am a loyal customer, but only to equally loyal merchants. The customer service before, during, and after purchase is exemplary!
