Hello everyone!

My name is Chris and im a very new member here!(This being my first post).

Anywho, i have a question i thought i would ask you guys since im sure some of you have delt with B&H before. I am picking up a gift for my girlfriend and am placing my order threw B&H. Since this item is a gift, i DO NOT want her to find out.

What i have done is shipped the item to my best friends house who will then call me up when the item arrives.

Here is my problem/question. Ive ordered with my debit/credit card and the billing adress on my card is my house adress (the same as my girlfriend who is recieving the gift). Like previously stated, the shipping adress is my best friends house. What im wondering is if B&H will send some sort of billing reciept or confermation to my billing adress? Usually my girlfriend will go through the mail and open up my bills or my mail and file them so we know where everything is for the end of the month. I would just HATE for her to see something from B&H, be curious and see the billing confermation or reciept to her gift. It would ruin the surprise!

So, in short, if you have ordered with B&H, have they sent you a billing conformation letter through mail, or do they just send all your stuff with the actual package?

Like i said, im only worried because the camera is being shipped one place, and the billing adress is somewere different.


Thanks for the help!


.Chris.

PS: Intercepting the mail before her is no option. She comes home from work earlyer than I so she always gets it! Oh, and i need the item by thursday so i want to place my order tonight. I wont have time to do it tommorow until late afternoon so i wouldnt get the item till friday. Thats why im asking, instead of calling them myself.

I have received a call on an order or two, to verify them ... but I've not received any mailings other than catalogs. Invoices are sent with the shipments. You can choose to have the prices shown on the invoices or not.

Peace...

Thanks a lot Don!

Both of the numbers for billing adress and shipping are my cell phone! So no way she'll pick up that!

I guess ill place the order and hope for the best!


Thanks again!

Chris.

May be too late but over the Internet they offer to leave price information off the invoice if the package is to be a gift. You'll get an e-mail confirming your purchase and be able to look it up on-line later as well.

You can add a second address to your credit card or debit card. Then there is never an issue.

Thanks for all the info everyone!! Ive contacted B&H today to double check and they say the only adress getting any sort of mail is the mailing adress! So im good to go!!

haha...Yes, yes it is!! We kinda have a nice open relationship when it comes to mail. We have a little filing area were bills/other things go. So usually if she sees my car payment or whatever, she'll open it for me and put it where it needs to go. Sometimes she'll just leave it on the kitchen table..haha

I didnt want to risk it if she saw a B&H envolope...haha

Thanks again everyone! Hopefully she'll like what i picked her up! Its something simple and rather inexpensive...but she needs a new one! She has been talking about getting a new bag for a little while now. Hers has seen better days...haha. I figure this will do the trick! Be able to throw the cam in it, and a couple lenses. I think it will fit her needs well....
