I bought a gimbal that was defective straight from the box. I left the country on the day the item arrived and was only able to open it when I got back, only to find out it was defective. When I reached out to B&H costumer care I was told that since it's been over 30 days nothing can be done. They also advised to contact the manufacturer.
I e-mailed the manufacturer and got no reply. Then I called them and was instructed to contact the seller to get a replacement. Now tired of being tossed back and forth, I would appreciate B&H to take some responsibility for shipping me a defective unit in the first place. I didn't pay for a broken item.

It's frustrating that being B&H the company that actually sold me the item won't take responsibility for selling me a broken gimbal. I have always valued your quality and good prices, this however is turning to be one of the worst costumer experiences in a sense that
1. I don't expect to be shipped with defective merchandise
2. If and when defective units are sent I expect the company to take steps to fix it. After all there's a reason people go to specific companies, for reputation and price guarantee. Costumer satisfaction is key for retaining businesses.

One of the reasons i shop with Amazon is the fact that their relationship with me doesn't end after the purchase. I had a pair of Beats By Dre headphones that stopped working after 6 months. I contacted them and they send a replacement unit straight away. This unit I had been using, and got replaced. They have my business forever.

It's appalling that B&H would refuse to exchange a new, unused, straight from the box defective unit. Now, am I expected to keep an item worth over $400 which defective is essentially a piece of junk?
