I've linked to their site but you have to call the number on the page to order.

As of this posting, they have 16gb black wifi & 32gb white wifi.

They do not charge sales tax and their shipping is super cheap. It was $12 for 2 day UPS shipping from NY to Cali (where I live). $2 for 3 day also and free for UPS ground.

They are very reputable and I've ordered tens of thousands of dollars of photo/video equipment from them in the past (as have most all the photographers and videographers I know).
 
Whats the wait?

Not sure what you mean? They're shipping it out tomorrow morning and I placed my order an hour ago.

Also, I don't know if they are selling instore as I did a phone order - I don't see why they wouldn't though as that would be absurd if they said phone only orders.
 
I have also done a lot of photo business with B&H, but I will warn you--be prepared for a little grilling if you want to return anything. From my experience Target is the best for no question returns, closely followed by Apple, then Best Buy.
 
Just ordered my iPad 2 from them with overnight shipping! WOOT! The guy was very helpful and said I should have it by Tuesday and I didn't have to pay any sales tax, WINNING!!!

Thank you OP!!

I've purchased a number of different photographic items from B&H, and they had no problem with a legitimate return og a camera bag that didn't suit my needs. All was reimbursed except for the shipping costs. I would highly recommend B&H.
 
bought a lot of camera equipment through B&H ... very reliable/reputable and have been for 30 years. For those of you in Manhattan ... head over as they are open Sundays I think.
 
Had to register just to thank you!

Awesome. $512 shipped to San Francisco, arriving on Wednesday.

Now what to do with my Best Buy $100 "hold"....
 
thank you so much OP!

got mine for $498 with free 3-5 day shipping AND no sales tax! i wont be home till then anyways so that works for me!

b&h love
 
thank you

Thank you to the OP! You have saved me a lot of time/headache in checking wal-mart's, apple stores, etc.

You answered my question. Thanks


I really want the 32GB Wifi Black though.
 
thanks

Thanks for the heads up. Ordered the white with 2 day shipping to philly. $607. I guess I can cancel my order from apple.com
 
Just wanted to add my thanks as well. Cheap 2 day shipping and no tax and no retail hassle. Now let's hope they really have stock to fulfill all these orders. Thanks!
 
yay!

just ordered white 32 gig, no tax 2 day air, :) cost less than it would if i bought it in store here! more app money!
 
Also registered just to say thanks. My husband bought me an iPad as a Valentine's Day gift. Thankfully Target took it back on Friday (no restocking fee, no problems, very easy) but I've been having withdrawals all weekend. My poor husband has been all over town looking for the new one. Now it'll be in my hot little hands on Wednesday, with no tax. THANK YOU!!!! I've always had very positive experiences with B&H, happy to give them my business.
 
I'm fairly new to Apple & wondering if there's an advantage to ordering from Apple online as opposed to somewhere else like B&H. Can you still take it to the Apple Store for repairs or help if you buy elsewhere? Can you get Apple Care from B&H? Also, is there an advantage to buying in an Apple Store compared to buying online from Apple?

Just curious if you lose any benefits by purchasing through other outlets. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
