I use B&H for new tech stuff now. Sometimes the Bay of E for used.
B&H seems to be the best bet since Newegg went down the drain. I'd always gone to them for camera gear and never had issues. I'll be going to them for electronics from now on.
Just be aware of their return policy, it’s not quite as no-questions as Amazon usually is. But it’s serviceable.
But it isn’t an unreasonable policy or anything I think. They’ve also price matched their own price for me after a week or two which seemed very customer oriented. No complaints and I’ve used them for a few years now.
They are like the anti Amazon in terms of shipping for religious reasons, given their observance of shabbos they don't ship on Saturdays at all. Good to know that their warehouse staff has a weekend day off to rest.
Yeah theyve been around for a long time for media stuff specifically, will have to check it out for electronics in general.
What happened to new egg?
Ever heard of MicroCenter? There's only a few but if you live nearish one, go check them out. It's like a toy store for tech nerds.
I am aware of them, but am nowhere near one unfortunately. Not much locally. The nearest thing they’ve had like that was Fry’s Electronics. Could buy anything there, but maybe not the best price. They’re gone now too.
Don't use B & H. They have had numerous discrimination lawsuits filed against them and don't seem to be changing their behavior. It's just a different kind of evil than Amazon.
what's the full name?
that is the full name lol, just look up that.
edit: technically the url is bhphotovideo.com but asking what b&h means is like asking what HP means. it may technically mean something, but no one needs to know it.
Wasn't HP branded Hewlett Packard for ages ? Unless you're talking about HP sauce which name is a complete mystery
I believe HP Sauce is House of Parliament.
I thought HP Sauce referred to the Harry Potter franchise, which is a book about a UK orphaned teenager living with oppressive stepparents discovering the secret ingredient to making a delicious dipping sauce.
Yer a wizard in the kitchen, Harry.
Probably Hawlett Packard and you are right, but no one says anything other HP these days.
yup, was looking for the url. thanks. wouldn't have guessed that it included "photo video".
