    I tried to place an order and my Payboo card was declined. I called customer service, and Daniela spent 39 minutes on the phone with me to resolve the issue. I feel that she done an excellent job. She contacted the card company directly, along with others to resolve my issue. I am very happy with the service that I received. I trust B&H to always do the right thing. I always look to B&H first whenever I order a related product. B&H has demonstrated that they are a very reliable and honest company.

    B&H is consistently the most comprehensive online store for my photographic need and their website store is easy and efficient to use. I also periodically avail myself of the experts' knowledge and advice and have always been completely satisfied. I recommend B&H to anyone who needs anything photographic-related.

      I've been a B&H customer for decades. 90% of my equipment has been bought online and only once was I able to visit the store in-person, which was an amazing experience (I hope to visit there again someday because I was like a kid in a candy store--wanting everything!). As far as my experience ordering online, it's been great. If I know what I want, I search, and it to the cart and pay. If I need some help deciding between a couple of choices or need recommendations, I've never been let down by the people who chat with me. Everyone there is knowledgeable.

      Very easy to use this site. Immediate approval. I would recommend to every one to use this site. I value using B&H for many purchases over the years. If I have any problems with orders they rapidly make it good. In the next 3 months I am going to order more optical equipment. THEIR HELP IS AMAZING WHEN I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I EXACTLY NEED TO ORDER.

      I am always impressed with B&H's selection of products across multiple disciplines - Photo, A/V, Pro Sound, etc. My experience has always been top notch whenever I have reached out for assistance of any kind (Pre-sales generally) and have never had a problem returning items I later decided I did not need.

      I called in sales to make an inquiry of a Denon speaker. The call was abruptly disconnected for no apparent reasons. If the call was not hung up by the representative, he should have called me back for a sale, since they all have caller ID for calling number, but no. This is not the first time I shop at B&H. Just like their other reviews: inconsistent customer service. I hope this review will prompt the Director of Sales to get the bottom of it.

      Optimized search results provided exactly what I was looking for; no fluff, no extra marketing tactics. Simple. Detailed information is available for those unsure of what they are looking for and a simple, easy comparison layout is also available. B & H's prices are comparable with other vendors but the service makes the difference. Nearly everything purchased has free delivery and shipping is fast. The carrier(s) they use are responsible. In my one experience with a product I didn't like, it was exchanged quickly for another item; no questions asked. This is a top-notch, customer centric, service-oriented supplier who provides old-fashioned service through new electronic channels.
