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.

When it comes to electronic gear, I've recently been finding that B&H has far more selection than other sites I've typically used (like Amazon or Best Buy) while still offering the same benefits and service as said sites (a no-fuss returns process, helpful customer support, and so on). They also have small quality-of-life features that I've noticed other sites lack, such as allowing multiple cards to be used during payment (a feature I'm continually surprised doesn't yet exist on all the other major sites). So high marks all around for B&H.

I first heard about this company from a photo journalist instructor I had who mentioned that they are the best place to go for DSLR cameras. I have not needed a camera from them but but they have stuff before most competitors.

Always there for me.
April 19, 2021

I have a computer building hobby (some might consider it a problem but what do they know). My wife is into digital art as a passion and small side biz. B&H has been a great resource for both our needs when it comes to equipment and getting knowledgeable feedback on newer products.

The Best
April 16, 2021

B&H is so great. Sometimes one has to wait on the phone to talk to product help - but it's totally worth it. Representatives are so patient and willing to share their knowledge, and want to help. If they don't know the answer, they'll find someone who does.

So far so good, have been buying from the for many years and always a good experience. I haven't had a problem with any of my purchases so I haven't had a chance to test the customer service yet.

Macbook and Video software Purchases
April 14, 2021

I've purchased multiple products from BH over the past 23 years. Photo & Video equipment, Macbooks, NAS Drives, Video capture software and some accessories. Never had a problem with a single order or quality issues with the items received, and hence never had to deal with their customer service side:)

The way they provide details about products is very elegant and easy to read & understand even if you are not a professional.

B&H is good, but not perfect. They earned my family's trust over a period of years. We order from B&H and don't have to worry if the products we receive will be Chinese knock-offs (which is a real problem with Amazon). The few times we've had a problem with a B&H order, the issue has been very well handled.

But, they do have some problems with their ordering process. Very recently I placed an order, then decided to add something to that order. The website provided a way to do it, but doing so put my order into into "secretly hung status" where it showed an expected delivery date, but in reality the order hadn't shipped and wouldn't until I called to see why my package was never delivered.

Nor was that my first problem with a hung order at B&H. When I ordered a $7K HP workstation a few years ago, they sat on the order for months while waiting for a $70 PCI card to come in that I didn't even really need. By the time I got the PC, the price had literally dropped. Nobody ever even asked if I'd like to have the PC shipped without the missing PCI card.

It sucks. I ordered four items at one time, but they all came separately, and at different times. I was not pleased at all by this experience, and the man that I spoke to was kind of rude. I rate this experience a 0. The picture at the bottom was how it was delivered. Crappy service. It was delivered to the back of my house.

Thanks for finally making this right
February 15, 2021

After waiting a couple months for a laptop and being told several delivery dates B&H finally delivered. It's my third laptop purchase with them. I will be hesitant to purchase anything that's not in stock for sure!

Thank you for your order and this feedback. We regret your dissatisfaction. We get ETA information from our suppliers. When they update the information they give us, we update our replies when we're next asked. Any ETA is an estimate, a fluid and moving target which no retailer can guarantee. The issue is not whether B&H was overextended but that Apple did not anticipate demand and retailers are suffering for their optimism,. I am sorry you're inconvenienced and appreciate your patience. -- Henry Posner / B&H Photo-Video

I like that the consultants helped me choose the necessary equipment according to my skills and financial capabilities. Since I am in college, the art of photography is a hobby for me, which I try to pay enough attention to.
