My company uses B&H as a vendor for the audio/video needs when our main vendor cannot provide us with a quote on certain equipment that is needed.

Advantages: Extensive collection of products Disadvantages: Customer service is lacking, hours of operation are different than most businesses
My company uses B&H as a vendor for the audio/video needs when our main vendor cannot provide us with a quote on certain equipment that is needed. I've gone to the website and the store located in midtown Manhattan. Very large and impressive selection of items and you can find just about anything that has to do with photography, video and audio. Customer service is OK at best, the sales rep we have is generally prompt with replies to our questions ... ...we hear back from him. The accounting department can be difficult to work with at times and they are quick to hound you for payment but are a pain when you try to resolve payment issues.

Can be detrimental if something is needed ...

While they have everything your photographic heart could desire, I find this site to be best for research purposes only. I would never make a big purchase from the site. Oftentimes, what seems like a great deal on the website (an "inexpensive" digital SLR camera + lens "kit", for example) is really not a great deal at all, but a sneaky way of getting ... ...I recommend visiting the actual B&H store. It can also be hectic, but at least you will have access to knowledgeable salespeople. If you don't have access to the holy grail that is B&H, do your research at bhphotovideo.com, and buy at your local camera shop (or vice versa). For important equipment, it just feels better to try before you buy. ...

Advantages: Customer Service & Price Disadvantages: NON
I've been searching the net for about 3 months now from which site to buy my digital camera, and from all the reviews i read about BH Photo, and from my experience with their customer service which is prompt and accurate, i decided to buy from them. After purchase i found out that their service turned out to be better than i expected for the following reason:
One important issue for me was including an invoice with the shipment, so i asked their ...
