    HI
    It seems that if you buy in person from New York there is sales tax of 8% or thereabouts, but if you buy from another state and have shipped to a New York address (for example if you are there on holiday) then you will not have to pay state taxes. Has anyone tried this? (although hard to know if safe to trust hotel staff!).
    If an order is bought and paid for in our retail store and you take the merchandise with you, we have to add local NYC sales tax. if the order is shipped to any address inside NY state, we have to add sales tax for the merchandise and shipping fees at the tax rate of the destination, which varies from county to county within the state. For any order shipped anywhere out of NY state, B&H does not add any tax.

    Because we're as concerned as you about hotel staff, you cannot place an order online for delivery to a hotel. You have to call or e-mail. Payment must be COD in US dollars and the shipper (UPS) requires payment in the form of a bank check written by a mainland US bank. A hotel concierge should be able to assist with this. This only works for hotels in the USA. I don't think we'd ship to a hotel in another country. Hope this helps.

    I am thinking about the sigma 10-20 and wondering if I should get it there. But a lot of people seem to have gotten bad copies of that lens and had to change it which is a real pain to do by post

    Thanks for that info but can you claim a canon cashback offer with a product purchased there? On the website, it says 'We source our products from authorised distributors in USA , UK , EUROPE & HONG KONG....'. Anyway, even without any cashback, the prices do seem very competitive.

    Don't know if its the cheapest, but will only cost €5 on top of the listed prices to ship to ireland. I've ordered 3 times from them with no issues (can take a week for delivery tho..)

    was just reading through this thread and noticed a good few bad dealings with pixmania but from 2005. wondering if theyre still unreliable or have they improved because if they were that bad 2 years ago would they still be in business now if they kept doing that?

    Calumet Photograpic in Belfast are very friendly and Lens are so much cheaper there. Darren, Jimmy and Angus are really good guys to deal with.
