5/5

posted Mar-16-2005

My experience with this company was stellar. I ordered a Canon Digital Rebel XT kit (in black) and a Sandisk Ultra II CF memory card on Sunday, 3/13/05. Received a tracking number on 3/14/05, received the package on Wednesday, 3/16/05 using the cheapest trackable shipping option...UPS 3-Day.

Unlike many other vendors that couldn't seem to give a firm ship date on this hot item, or stock levels that bounced daily, the B&H website said it was in stock and it shipped the first business day after my order was placed. The products arrived well-packaged and in perfect, new condition.

I chose B&H primarily for the reviews I have read here along with other feedback on digital photography forums. I would definately stay away from the "grey market" dealers or the unethical "you've gotta buy all these accessories to get the camera at that price" dealers that seem to populate the NY area.

I also know that B&H stands behind what they sell and provide excellent customer service.

Thanks B&H, I'll be ordering from you again.

I'll admit after reading a few comments I have seen about this company in some photography-related forums, I felt like I had a 50/50 shot on getting what I ordered for the price shown on the site without any bait-and-switch or "up sale"...but reading a few here I felt more at ease, so I decided to give it a shot.

I ordered a Sigma 70-300 F4-5.6 II APO Macro Super for Canon lens from these folks because they had the lowest price, and with shipping I could still order a UV filter not only for this lens, but the kit lens and a prime lens I already had with my new camera for less the lens alone w/shipping at B&H (my preferred store).

Since I needed the filters, and I was still coming out cheaper, I thought this would take care of it all...and guess what, I didn't get an "order confirmation" upsale call that I have heard so much about, I guess because I was ordering the only real accessories available...that was nice, I really hate dealing with sales people, no matter how "easy" the push is to buy more stuff.

I got my order confirmation immediately, the lens and accessories were shipped the next day, and arrived two days later by UPS. The packaging was a little weak (they put the lens down in the bottom of the cardboard box with no packaging material underneath it, I would have preferred to have seen it padded all the way around) but nothing was broken and all merchandise was new and just as expected.

I would order from these guys again, no question.
