I was in the States a few weeks ago. Placed an order with B&H for a 6D, X100, Singh Ray Fader ND, and some other stuff. Came to about $3200. The 6D came with a bag and a Lexar 16GB 400x SDHC card.
The card was bad. I had formatted in camera but the images would only off-load two at a time before I had to remove and re-insert into my laptop. Other cards worked fine and other computers saw the same issue with the troublesome card. What was perhaps most bothersome about the card is that after conducting a low-level format and trying it with ten pictures, it worked fine. After that, I took 200 but then had the same problem.
I sent an email to B&H explaining everything and asking if they can send it to me in Israel. They respond saying they'll ship one to me ASAP. Email order arrives saying it's going to my billing address in the States.
I call the 212 number on the email. Some British dude says, "Hello?" Wrong number. He said he gets calls a lot from B&H customers.
I call the 800 number and explain the situation. They say they can ship it to me in Israel and the cost is $53. They're willing to take $10 off, he offers.
Now I just received pictures in the mail from my Aunt and the padded envelope she used reported that she paid a little over $2.
I asked him to look into it. He did and came back to say, "That's the shipping cost."
B&H, you're losing it. And no, the British dude was not Philip Bloom.
