My wife purchased a "Camera Bag" shown on the B & H website with the camera kit in the bag. All of the pictures represented the camera bag. When she presented to me for my Birthday, there was no camera kit. There is no verbiage saying the camera kit is a separate purchase, only pictures showing the camera kit as part of the bag. I contacted B & H, they told me it is separate and the website had a mistake on it but they would not provide the camera kit, unless purchased separately.
I also found out, that you can only communicate with them during their weekday open hours of operation, even on chat. This made it difficult to communicate. I finally was able to talk with someone live during a weekday, where I had to take a break from work to do so. The person would not admit any wrong doing and they are charging me to return the bag for shipment and in the letter it says they may keep the tax from the sale also. This company obviously doesn't understand customer service while also promoting and practicing false advertisem*nt. Beware!

I have been a longtime user and buyer of stuff from B&H Photo. Unfortunately I recently purchased a Ronin 4D which turned out to really be a piece of junk camera. To give you an idea, just to be able to use it the first time I was held hostage for over 2 hours and had to buy another download to be able to record on it which costs over $1,000. Then the camera needed yet another 1TB hard drive that had to be ordered. On first using the camera it already malfunctioned and footage was corrupted before the 1st TB was even used. It was literally an indoor shoot and that is what happened. Unlike shooting on a helicopter or something which would make me understand why the footage was unusable this was indoors in prime environments.
First BH suggested I speak with DJI, those clowns offered an 10% discount if I bought more crap on top of an already piece of crap camera. Then BH photo said they would take it back if it were in the original box. I was in Europe, returned and contacted them to see how they would like it returned? They once again sent me to contact DJI, who again told me to go back to BH Photo. As of right now I have a piece of crap camera I spent over 10K on with all the other useless junk on top of it. I will never shop BH photo or DJI ever again.

Don't buy from B&H! Go to Amazon or directly to Apple! I bought this MacBook Pro as Christmas gift for my wife. After looking at it, she decided it was too big and heavy for what she wanted. B&H advertises right on the product page easy 30 day returns. Except the fine print buried in the B&H return policy says even if the plastic wrap is removed, the item is not returnable. So we're stuck with a $2000 computer that doesn't work for us.

B&H recently placed a reseller hold to my account as I have purchased too many used items from them in past years. And they did not accept any request to remove. If you don't allow too many item purchases, you should have placed a limit on the items for sales, not to block customer's account with "non-sense" excuse. How did request to prove something non-existent at all? Totally ridiculous and worst experience ever for such!! I have purchased many IT components from other retailers like Newegg, Micro Center, Best Buy, etc. Never had same issue. This might be the end of business with B&H as they don't care about losing customers at all.

Last year, I made a significant purchase of a $2,000 computer from B&H. Unfortunately, upon receiving the item, it turned out to be of extremely poor quality and unusable. Despite my dissatisfaction, B&H redirected the responsibility to Microsoft, absolving themselves of any accountability for selling me a defective computer.
Given that I rely on a functional computer for work, I had no choice but to purchase a reliable product from Apple, a company known for standing behind their products. Months later, B&H offered me a refund, but with an exorbitant 25 percent restocking fee. This was unacceptable, especially for a computer that Microsoft had confirmed as inoperable. My advice to others would be to avoid purchasing computers or cameras from B&H and opt instead to buy directly from manufacturers who are responsive to issues and fully back their products.

I bought 2 Canon lenses from B&H Photo, one had corroded sensors and broke my camera entirely, it will no longer focus with any of my lenses. I contacted B&H photo and they simply do not care despite the fact that I have time stamped photos that prove my other lenses were working properly 10 minutes before switching to theirs. They will not repair my camera or compensate me for it. Do not buy from this company

Apparently, European issued cards are very sus nowadays. The most ridiculous email I have ever received. "However, due to the fact that this order was paid with a card issued outside the USA, we are missing some important security information, such as address verification and so we have to take additional steps to protect the cardholder, thus your order is on hold. Therefore, we kindly ask; that if you or a colleague of yours has previously shopped at B&H Photo, whether it was online, over the phone or at our Superstore in NYC, we ask if you can provide us with the details associated with that order.
However, if this is your first time shopping with us; we ask respectfully that you provide us with some additional information such as a link to your online profile at Facebook or LinkedIn or a similar page; Alternatively, if you have a work email address with a valid domain replying from it will help expedite the processing of your order. Your credentials will not be stored or used for marketing purposes".
Excuse you? Facebook? LinkedIn? Fricking order details of another person? Have you ever heard of privacy or is that concept is non-existent in modern America? Am I tripping or even Amazon (a privacy-nightmarish company itself) could not possibly have sent a more outrageous email. Whoever runs your VeRiFiCaTiOn Department, wake up! This is not the way fraud works, this is not the way you treat new customers. They came from your competitors and they can just as easily go back to them!
The payment processed just fine when I placed my order. However, it took your VeRiFiCaTiOn Department around 24 hours to suspect the alleged fraud, charge me with another 1$ for nothing and then send me that beautiful email saying I have to prove something to them. What in the name of Christ is that? First experience with this store and the fricking last! UPD. What is even better, they keep charging me 1$ each time they reply to my support request. How cool is that? Oh how ironic, they were worried about the alleged fraud when in fact THEY ARE the real fraud.

I needed to return a camera purchase and was provided with an RMA number and tracking label. The package was dropped off and scanned but I subsequently discovered that the tracking number does not exist. I tried reaching out to B&H to make certain that I was given a correct label/tracking number and they were not helpful and seemed unconcerned that I may be out $900 if the item was not received by them. I am very frustrated since I am unable to even put in a claim with the delivery company without a valid tracking number. So I am running in circles with no resolution in sight. I will never do business with B&H Photo again as they don't give a darn about their customers.

A few months back I ordered some pc copying software. The product I received was toast for Mac! I did not realize that toast is a Mac-only program until I had cut the security seal on the box! BH therefore would not accept a return! My bank would not even help because I did not return the product! The not returned was based on BH saying they would return anything I sent them, and would not accept the product back, as I had opened it!

I am a dedicated customer for years MAURICE. Lens did not connect saying (lens unavailable) and lens was tight to unscrew. Took to USED Dpt and they referred me to outside company. OUTSIDE COMPANIES findings,"lens and camera corrosion damage, we can't help you and Sony won't either". They Returned it to me, I turned around, got someone to look at it, fix it for $150.00. They did, and guess what THE PROBLEM was? The SETTINGS. B&H gave me $25 dollars credit next purchase. Fred Moshe Blumenthal Big Insult/SAUVER PROGRAM COMMUNITY BASE PROGRAM FOR YOUTH.vself funded by me. Where is the accountability? Very cold blooded. And I shop here all the time. I am shocked. Who is responsible to reimburse me for the money I paid. And why didn't people just check the camera? I was at the last week of my warranty, Hardly ever used camera. Very sad.
