B&H is closed!

[danalec99]

Last night I ordered a spare battery and a flash card thru B&H online. It was at the last moment that I got their message saying that they are closed till the 10th of October due to Jewish holiday and that my order will be processed and shipped only after the 10th! I would not have placed an order if I knew about this. They have the holiday notice on their site now. It was not there while I was ordering it last night.

I have already emailed them saying that I want my order to be cancelled. Do you know if they would cancel my order? If NO is the answer, can I have the items returned?

You should be able to cancel the order up until the time it is shipped, so I don't think you'll have a problem. In my experience, they have been very good with customer service issues.

You could always try taking a look at our new sponsor (Freestyle Photographic Supplies) to see if they have what you're looking for!

Thanks Chase, I'll check them out.

I had ordered the Sandisk 1GB CF card at B&H.

Has anyone used the Kingston brand ? Its $49.99 at buy.com

[Chase]

There have been a lot of concerns posted about buy.com here lately. Quite a few people claim that they have placed orders on In-Stock items only to be told a few days later that they are not in stock and that delivery could take a couple of weeks.

Price looks good though, and although Kingston probably isn't the best out there, I doubt you'd have any problems with it.

Assuming the rebate is good anywhere, I'd suggest ordering from newegg.com. I think their before-rebate price is only a couple of dollars more than buy.com, but newegg has a much better reputation in my opinion.

Yeah, I was wondering about that brand, too. When I was pricing stuff on Newegg.com, I saw some CF cards by Kingston...and since I'm sure I'm gonna need a lot of memory for Joshua Tree, I'm gonna need to start looking NOW!

[Corry]

Yeah, my boyfriend SWEARS by newegg.com for all his electronic stuff. If he can't get it on newegg, he doesn't order online.

[danalec99]

Thanks for warning me about buy. Yes, I have a heard a lot of good stuff about newegg.

I'm not particularily keen about Kingston. I mainly use Lexar and Sandisk. It was just the low price that caught my attention.

Lexar has this 1gig CF card with the 'Write Accelerator' feature. Can I use that particular card on the 10D? Does anyone know?

I would also highly recomend newegg. I have never had a problem with the, Even when returning stuff they always get it right, or at least try to make you happy!

[Axel]

Definitely go with newegg! Best on the web whn it comes to computer/digital stuff and customer care IMHO.

A good place to check for sales and rebates is TechBargains.com.

I've used a bunch of Kingston memory in computers without any problems.
Stay away from Buy.com.....that's from bitter experience on three occasions!

fwiw, b&h doesn't accept order cancels via email. They're kinda pissy about that. They seem to be pretty good about returns though.

I just placed my first order with newegg this past tuesday, should arrive tommorow. I was thought they were over-hyped. I'm happily being proven wrong every step of the way.
