Is there something wrong with B & H Photography?
Nov 10, 2020 13:25:57 #
I read that B & H Photo is an extremely bad place to purchase camera gear as they are very unscrupulous in their business ethics and activities.
With all of the "state of unrest" and "fake-news" in this nation right now, I don't know if I'm to believe this, or not. I've been using B & H for years buying my photo equipment, supplies, etc.
And, to me, between B & H vs Adorama, B & H is always easier and more cost effective to deal with.
So I ask: is there something wrong with B & H Photography or is this fake-news?

Wow! Not that I am aware!
I've been doing business with them, basically exclusively, for YEARS.
Even just for printer ink.
Never had ANY problem of any sort.
I have great trust in their operation, morals, and scruples - I'll continue to use them.
Where did you read it? Sounds like someone was upset with something.

I echo Longshadow's reply. I've never heard a bad comment about B&H. Just ordered an item today from them.

Wow!!! The first time I've ever read anything like this, or even close to this. I've been a B and H customer for years. They have always been fair, quick, honest, and thorough in every one of my purchases.
Next to my local store, B and H is the best place for me to purchase any photographic equipment.

Great company for camera gear.
You may have read about their employee practices. They’ve been on the receiving end of several legal actions. e.g.:

Thanks for the fast replies. I AM NOT trying to start anything, I was taken aback when I heard allegations of bad trade practices by them.
Whew! I'm glad of that, as they are very good and reliable and seem to always have just what I need when I need it.
Thanks again everyone!

You have not told us where you "heard these allegations". Was it one person who had a bad experience, someone connected with a competitor or...???

As the old saying goes "Some people would complain if you hung them with a new silk rope."

You're not going to tell us where you read this, or specifics of the supposed offenses? That's very unfair to a company which has a very good reputation. It sounds like you're the one spreading fake news.
