Bro, RM like submarine

Bro, got nothing to buy ah?
Submarine ma submarine lor, still need to buy ......

Recently only shop eBay for Old lenses for my A7II

Buy from Japan!!

Buying from Japan is cheap?

Wah, boss, you hardcore B&H ha?

No more... last time we did group buy to share the shipping cost.
Now with GST implemented, any import of Camera and lenses more than RM500 will get 6% GST tax.
Not worth to get from US anymore.

Have you already tried? Kena 6% GST ?

Kena wor.. I bought from B&H and the UPS guy say have to pay upon delivery if not have to pickup from their depot.. Still have to pay because before delivery they wont call you inform got to pay GST so prepare money when expecting delivery..

Visit the store in New York this Monday. After waiting for 3day. Sunday is their don't no what holiday.

They have a strange open day store. Open on Sunday till Thursday. Friday is till 2pm. And Saturday close. Later than I understand that their boss is Hebrew people. There is quite a lot of Hebrew working inside. And because it is Hebrew people store, the security is tight. You can see a policeman stand inside the store entrance.

Base on the information, you don't need to go others store to look for video and photo. B&H is the lowest price offer. True and not true for me. You can be inside the store for more than half a day. Get suck into it like kena black magic. Can empty your wallet and CC at no time. (BEWARE)



This shop is the mother of all the video and photo of the world. (PC, laptop, AV and smartphone too) From the old model to the latest range they carried. Even selling 2nd hand camera, bag, parts etc. They do buy your camera and video if in good condition. Not satisfy your purchase, you can return it anytime.

2 storey shop and always crowded. And you can see conveyor running top and inside the cabinet too. See also headache. Later I know that, some purchase don't need to be carry around. You can finalize your purchase at that section with the saleman. Than you can continue your shopping. When done, just go to the payment counter, pay and collect your item. The conveyor running around the store deliver the item to you.

Webcam, cctv and all the cam section.



I spy in the store.



Ok, for the price I survey, it is cheaper than in mostly US store. But if do converting and compare back home, some is about the same and some is slightly expensive. But if having a promotion and sale, damn cheap. Everyday have different promotion and next day you see no more.

For example, I got a Gopro last 2 week cheap (US440). But this week, no more (US449). The price still cheaper than outside.
ex, Gopro hero 4 black sell at US440. Come with 2extra battery and charger, 32gb sandisk and headstrap set. Convert to here US440+8.875% tax = US479 = RM1820 (x3.8). I don't no what is the price in local.

ex, Grab 1 WD My passport wireless 2TB having sale at US159 on Monday. But now back to normal price at US199. Convert to here US159+8.875% = US173 = RM657.4. Local selling at RM8XX.



So you got to frequent check their site for having sale to get the cheapest. Or lucky that day for you if you walk in.

not hardcore but bought maybe twice or three times only la
last time their UPS Super Savers shipping is USD$50 and you can put a lot of things in the box for the same price
Then now no more already, shipping too expensive so sometimes got tumpang people buy a few times

wah you visited the Mothership *jelly max*

Wah ozak see pics also can faint lol.. And true their promotion is crazy.. Local price you only got the camera itself for that price..

Go there shop la. Don't jelly. Comeback just makan roti lor.

I occasionally heard of this B&H way back more than 10yrs ago. Really don't no this shop till relative told me and here.

Wait till you walk in to the store. More you faint. Just the camera and lens section only, you can camp there.

But don't just concentrate at B&H. Best Buy do have sale sometime. Not wide range Best Buy carried. But promotion price also crazy.

Ex, last 2 week walk into Best Buy and see got luck to get some memory card. Wah piang, got sale. A normal price for a sandisk microsd extreme plus 64gb selling at US94.99. But promotion at US38 !! Fast fast grab 2pcs. Convert back only cost RM144. Local selling at RM350. Now regret never grab all their stock.

Now I learn some trick of their sale. If you can't get what you want on that day sale or stock finish, usually got a tag at the hanger said something like stock will return. Take that tag, and go to the counter ask the saleman. He will check the stock around the US or their store. You can place the order at the promotion price and comeback later to collect when the item arrive.

Recently, I bought few old lenses from eBay.
Any shipment value more than RM500 sure kena 6% GST

Wow, very interesting for camera head like us. Hahahaha
