Shipping from B&H Photo to your door — from $70
The lens you've been waiting months to reach the region, and the flash, microphone and CFexpress cards that complete your kit, are all listed on B&H Photo at the same dollar price, and the store usually ships them free and fast to your Oregon address, where no sales tax is added at checkout. Sign up for your free address with us and order like any US resident, and we receive your packages, inspect them and consolidate them into one box that reaches your door in 7–9 business days by Economy or 5–7 by Express.
What's different about ordering from B&H Photo, and how we handle it for you
The store treats your Oregon address like any US address: no sales tax, no shipping charges on most orders, and free expedited shipping within 1–2 business days for most orders over $49. Only two points need arranging in advance, and each has a ready solution at our warehouse.
The inspection window starts at delivery in Oregon, not when it reaches you
B&H Photo counts shortage or damage claims within two business days of the package's delivery, and the return period is 30 days from the same date, so we open every package the day it arrives, match its contents against your order and send you the receiving photos before consolidation, so you can open an RMA request from your account in time if you need it, and we send the item straight from our warehouse to the store's return center in New Jersey with the return label it issues, instead of it traveling to you and back.
Batteries and air cans have rules for air shipping
A camera that arrives with its battery inside, along with lenses, flashes and tripods, usually all ship by air with no extra arrangements, while separate spare batteries we pack according to the air carrier's rules in a limited number per shipment and tell you the allowed quantity before you order, and compressed-air cans and liquid lens cleaners are best bought from your local store, saving the shipment weight for a lens that deserves it.
Example in numbers: a camera, two lenses and their accessories
A typical B&H order: a mirrorless camera body, a zoom lens and a prime lens, two memory cards and a small microphone. The store usually ships them in more than one parcel depending on availability; we receive them all at your Oregon address and repack them into one secure 8 lb box: Economy at $117 in 7–9 business days, Express at $130 (SAR 488) in 5–7 business days, with customs documents prepared free of charge; any government fees are set by customs in the destination country.

We receive, inspect and consolidate
Each package arrives at our warehouse with its tracking and we log it in your account with photos the same day, and once all the items in your order are in, we consolidate them into one box, fill the space around the lenses with protective padding, and remove the empty intermediate cartons if you wish to reduce the volumetric weight, while keeping the original product boxes intact.

Choose Economy to arrive in 7–9 business days, or Express in 5–7 business days, and follow the shipment's journey from Oregon to your door with a single tracking number, with customs clearance documents prepared free of charge.
Questions about ordering from B&H Photo
Usually yes; the official checkout page accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB and UnionPay, and it states no requirement that the card be American, provided its number doesn't exceed 16 digits, and it also accepts PayPal and Apple Pay after signing in. With a card, the amount is held at ordering and charged in dollars at shipping, and with PayPal it's charged immediately, and if the store holds the order for additional verification per its protocols at the time of ordering, its international service line at 212.444.6615 and live chat complete the verification for you.
We open the package the day it arrives and send you its photos, so you know its condition within the store's two-business-day window from delivery. You open an RMA request from your orders page or via chat within 30 days of delivery, and we send the item from our warehouse to the store's return center in New Jersey with the return label it issues, its cost deducted from the refund per the store's policy, and the store refunds the amount to the same payment method within 5–7 days of inspecting the return.
The warranty comes from the manufacturer, not the store, and manufacturers differ on honoring a US warranty outside the US, so check the brand before ordering and choose the version marked USA Warranty on the product page, while versions marked as having no US warranty are covered by the store's warranty for up to one year; keep your B&H Photo electronic invoice as it's the service document, and used products from the Used department carry a 90-day store warranty with returns within 30 days of purchase.
The store pauses checkout weekly from Friday evening to Saturday evening New York time, closes for full days on the Jewish holidays between September and October and on major US holidays, and its daily Deal Zone offers end on a countdown within hours; so add what you like to your cart or wishlist any time, complete payment as soon as the site reopens, and your package goes out on Monday because the store doesn't ship on Saturday or Sunday.
Other camera and electronics stores reach the same address
Your Oregon address receives your packages from any US store that ships within the United States, so if you buy the lens from B&H Photo and the bag or tripod from another store, we consolidate all the packages into one box and you pay for one shipment.
