If the lens breaks in shipment the carrier replaces it. That's not a warranty issue. Even if you bought locally...the lenses your local shop were shipped there too, and probably with even less care by the trucking company than UPS/FedEx/USPS/whoever with theirs. Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here

B&H ships millions of lenses a year. Can they break? Sure. Almost anything can. Will they break? Not likely. I'm a little confused....just to clarify..... Joe

Is it safe to ship a lense? Warranty would be a huge pain in the butt if the lense broke on the way up here. Are these lenses packaged well? Does B&H ship/package well? Thanks a lot! Fellow Canuck here...........In the last 6 months, I've bought a XT, 50 1.8, Tamron 28-75, a grip, a 430EX, a tripod, and a Canon A530 all from B&H. Never any problem at all with the shipping, never received damaged goods. Stuff was well packaged, goods were surrounded by sealed plastic bags, filled with air - not a bad alternative to styrofoam chips. Sam
