They're fine. A couple bad reports, but you can say the same for any outfit. If the prices are the same, I'd probably just go with B&H. If there are savings to be had, I wouldn't hesitate to use Beach.

A good place to check isresellersratings.com (external link). Beach is right there with the other top rated online locations.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I purchased an Audio-Technica noise canceling head ph from Beach Camera couple of years ago. No issues at all. I wouldn't mind buying from them again.

They are awesome. I have been shopping on Ebay for years and they are one of the few on my favorite list. I bought some flashes and cameras from them. Just last week I placed an order for a PS3 Sunday morning, received a notification Sunday night and it arrived Tuesday. Just awesome.

They've got a good reputation and they have some amazing sales/deals from time to time. I bought my tablet for $175 off the going rate at the time.

The one problem I have with Beach is that I had to do direct signature and couldn't hold at facility which is what I normally do. If your workplace can receive packages you might want to do that. I made the mistake of having it sent to my house.

I trust purchasing from Beach Camera/BuyDig. I even bought a plasma TV from them and no issues whatsoever. :)

They are good but minor league compared to BH and Adorama, especially when it comes to what they carry and more important what they don't. That said, I've ordered from them because I save on sales tax. Living in ny, I pay tax ordering from BH or adorama.

Check out Allenscamera.com in Pennsylvania. They are awesome with great customer service.
