Any experiences outthere about ordering from B&H and asking for delivery at the hotel? I'll be the whole day, the whole week in a conference, so I can't sit and wait for the courrier to come with my package, if that's the way to do it (unless I can ask them to deliver within a very limited timeframe)
That concept won't work with most creditcard transactions, card- adress and shipping-addres must match (but I believe some shops allow a faxed statement saying otherwise).
I once ordered a lense from B&H and got it shipped to a colleague in the US to pick it up there in person.
I was very complicated because B&H called the colleague at home trying to verify the shipping address etc. In the end it worked out, but took a lot of time (more than threee weeks, got the lense the day before I left the US).
AFAIR B&H does not ship to hotel addresses, but you should double check with them, to be sure.
Anyway, such a deal is certainly possible with B&H but reserve some extram time for it.
Also, I don't complain about B&H, on the contrary I appreciate their effort to reduce credit card fraud.
