Has anyone had an order from B&H seemingly get "stuck" somewhere? Mine is showing an estimated delivery date of yesterday (2/24), but that it has been in Newark since 2/23 at 2:30a.m.
YES - not from B&H, but I have a FedEx order from CA. stuck there !!
Yes, I have an order that has been delayed. It was due Feb 19 and still is not here. Per B&H, severe weather in various states is the culprit. Since I am in Texas, we lost at least a week due to freeeze and other weather events. I am not worried.
I got a FedEx Order yesterday from Vancouver on time yesterday from Cotton Carrier.

I recently received an email from B&H apologizing for delays. Something apparently went wrong in Newark.
Not much of anything goes right in Newark.
No- B&H is exceptionally prompt- if you ever get to visit their store in Manhattan, you can see it in action. IN fact- overnight for me in WAY Upstate NY (Closer to Canada)- with no added, enhanced, expedited or special upgraded shipping, just their base shipping rate.
What happens when it gets into UPS or USPS etc. isn't their fault, but everyone is having issues, just got a Christmas card sent first class in early December and another arrived overnight way back then from farther away.
I have never had a problem and I have bought a lot from B & H in the past.
Not just B&H deliveries...Amazon and UPS along with USPS have been slow all around. Delayed delivery notices have been common since before Christmas. And...damage is more common that it has ever been in the past.
I had two damaged delivery items where the envelopes were ripped and taped up with the contents destroyed. Another item is listed as "out for delivery" for over a week now....??? ..."And the cost for shipping keeps going up!" David C.

Apparently the weather has slowed down everything. Back in December the USPS was slow because of the package volume for Christmas (and maybe a couple other things not mentioned to avoid being sent to the attic). I had a package sit in Rochester, NY, for almost two weeks with FedEx and the USPS both claiming they did not have the package. It finally arrived. Two days later the USPS sent me an email stating my package was delivered (two days ago).
We just had two cases of wine delivered by FedEx yesterday. I sat around waiting until 2:30 for them to show up because my wife said they had to be signed for at delivery. So, I hear the truck outside and go out and the driver is setting the second one on the porch. Then said I don’t need to sign because the driver will sign for me....Great...
But the best is Amazon always throwing packages on my neighbors porch and taking a cell photo of it... like that would prove delivery... the driver or anyone else could pick it up 30 seconds later too...
Now I see them advertising these package boxes that bolt to your porch for delivery to be put into...geesh.

Definitely a FedEx problem. Ordered a lens had to sign for it when delivered no big deal but received a text from FedEx saying it was delivered and my wife signed for it. Package was sitting on front porch and my wife or I had not signed anything. No doorbell rang or knock just no left on porch.
I am still waiting for one that was suppose to come 2/24 and still says it is in NJ! Not impressed with Fedex. I paid extra for faster deliver!

If it's coming usps, they still are way behind and having problems.
I had an order end up in San Juan Puerto Rico. I live in Tacoma, Washington. It wasn’t B&H’s fault but the Post Office in Sumner Washington who sent it on its merry way.
I got an order Sunday that was supposed to be here the Tuesday before.
First part of December I shipped a package from NW Ala by the post office. It sat at the southern sorting area for almost 3 weeks before going on it's way.
it is ugly. I have two pieces of hardware stuck in CA for over a week...talked to Fedex, they are brain dead!
