B&H - FAQ's

 

[stalker]

What is the difference between B&H Photo Video USA and B&H Photo Video India?

B&H Photo Video India is a Liaison Office of B&H Photo Video USA.

Being a liaison office our activities are limited to providing information about the parent company and help our customers in India with purchasing the products from our web site. We also provide information regarding the landed costs of products, approximate customs duties and Octroi applicable, after sales support, track shipments Etc.

its not the same thing as an Indian branch,

Been there for a long time. The shipping cost makes prices astronomical.

I got to know about this about a year ago and even called them up twice or thrice. As Chaos said, you have to pay for shipping and customs and that ruins the deal totally!

I don't know whether you can post links to other forums, so please delete if against the rules. They have the same discussion on jjmehta fourms. Seems that sometimes you can save a bundle on stuff.

You would get better deals through gray, but if they provide warranty cover then its a different matter altogether.

^ Its good for stuff below $150 actually or if your damned lucky and customs misses your consignment OR if you know somebody at customs heh!

Besides, everything is not available in grey and if KMD didn't exist and nobody was coming down from the US then its a very viable option indeed.

For e.g., try finding lenses in grey for poor ol Payne's Sony A350.

was just checking the prices of jamo speakers even with shipping and customs its still ends up cheaper.
take for eg jamo E680 costs only $150+$205(shipping)+ 35% to 40% customs and still ends up being 10000 to 12000 cheaper then showroom.

 

[Brendon]

Thats ridiculous ! Shipping big bulky speakers from USA with a hefty 30% customs fee and it still being cheaper than the price in India.

 

[-D.Payne-]

It's an A300!

 

[Brendon]

^^ I suggest a temporary ban on d_payne. He should have access to only the photography thread and nothing else on TE.

His ban should be lifted ONLY when he actually posts a picture taken from the new DSLR A300

Jamo is overpriced really really bad in India. They were decent value once. Now there are way better products out there at significantly lesser price.

well for about 43k all inclusive we can get a jamo c805,which hell of a lot cheaper then the cinebals prices.

well i knew it was too good to be true,well guys i got a mail saying that the prices mentioned in the website are for each speaker and not a pair ,so now it turns up more expensive then indian showrooms.
