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.

Tech support
May 7, 2019

I needed help to verify compatibility and function of a used lens. Tech support was right with me, knowledgeable, helpful but not pushy.

Will follow with a product review when my baby arrives.

This is my second major purchase from BH

It's great to buy from a business that stocks what it sells. Deal Zone offers great deals, too. Free shipping is a plus!

UPDATED. This was initially a 2-star review. They had sent me a faulty camera, and then only refunded the price of the device itself (not the shipping, which was considerable). After posting my review here, and describing the situation, I received a refund from B&H for the cost of the shipping. Which was the right thing to do, so I'm bumping it up to a 4-star review. Previously, I would have given them a 5-star review, because I've bought from B&H for years and always been happy with them. But I'm docking a star for this because, if I hadn't posted here, they would NOT have done the right thing. I don't think customers should have to do things like this to get treated fairly. So I'm glad they responded appropriately, but I'm docking a star for having to call them out in the first place.

I have been a customer of B&H for almost 15 years, and they have always been great. Cameras and lenses have always been delivered on time and packaged well. Shopping experience has always been first rate, with no weird sales gimmicks. Recently I purchased a telescope from them and noticed 2 weeks later that the price had dropped $100. I sent them an email asking if I could perhaps get store credit for the difference. The next day they refunded the difference back to my credit card. Awesome store!

They have everything branded that you need in terms of photo/video making. It's a bit pricier than stuff you find on Amazon because they take on bigger brands. I just wish they reduce their holiday shipping schedule and make the search not repeat a lot of their inventory.

I would easily give B&H 5-stars if it wasn't for their extensive holiday schedule, which makes it really hard to get things in a timely manner during certain parts of the year.

Excellence as always.
April 30, 2019

B&H is my one-stop. My only stop. I research A LOT online, and then head to B&H to fill the orders. They always have what I need somewhere in their vast website, and are always happy to talk with me on the phone to answer researched questions. They make production possible.

The prices from B&H Photo Video are either as good as Amazon or much better (taken into account we don't need to pay tax for orders shipped outside NY). The service from B&H is as good as Amazon.

Dealing with B&H is predictable and boring in the best possible way. Customer service is consistently excellent, and the experience is always first rate.
