Dane Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 So I am after something that they have. I am wondering has anyone here bought stuff from them online? Safe to buy from? I had an order placed with amazon and they took forever to ship it, so I cancelled my order with amazon. B&H Has the same thing with free shipping and it says by the 30th I would get it. They close for ordering randomly though it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kondrath Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 They're pretty well known. They close their site for religious reasons (I think "no buying / selling on the sabbath" or something). I got some sensor cleaner stuff from them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoltmanm Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I've bought from them. They were part of a common corrupt web site practice 5 years ago or so. You would buy from them because of the great price, but then they'd call and offer to sell you a lot of add ons. If you refused, your order would literally take months to ship.

nominak Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 They're really good, I bought my Flip cam from there and it got here in a good amount of time. I would buy from them again for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsam Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I've bought from them. They were part of a common corrupt web site practice 5 years ago or so.

I went through that nonsense with them. They called and offered some lenses and protection plan which I refused. They hung up saying they won't be responsible if the shipment got damaged enroute. A few mins later I called and cancelled the order. But I have to say that was a long time ago. Can't comment on their current status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123456789A Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 B&H has been around for decades and is pretty much the place to buy gear from. I've spent thousands with them and never had a problem whatsoever. As mentioned above, they are Jews so they will be closed on Saturdays and other holidays, so be sure to get your orders in before sundown. They're pretty fast with shipping too.

Draconian Guppy Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Sometimes B & H is a tad more expensive than amazon.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Well I finally ordered what I was after. A pelican case for my D3100 and lenses. I figured I do go on a boat sometimes and would like the protection, even more so if it rains. This past weekend I didn't take my camera because it was to rain. I ordered it yesterday morning, I used the free shipping and its already to be here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 You had trouble with Amazon? :o Amazon and Newegg are one of the most reliable online retailers including shipping time! When buying from Amazon, make sure the seller is Amazon.com and not a third party selling thru them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
