New York Bulk Order from B&H Photo

[deerstalkr]

I have enough film to last me until mid-November. I don't like to run with a low supply, so I'm planning to place an order on B&H Photo soon.

Are there any Sydney folk or Aussies interested in placing an order and splitting the cost of shipping? I can arrange a pickup or drop off within metropolitan Sydney and most places in suburban Sydney. I plan to place an order within the next two weeks (deadline: 4th of November).

Alternatively, if there is another group placing a bulk order elsewhere please let me know.

Cheers,
H.

Giving this a bump, although I'm pretty right for film at the moment myself (unless you are going to order from Freestyle - I wouldn't mind a few bulk rolls of Arista Premium 400).

I'd be in for a B&H order. I work in Ultimo and Castle Hill or we can arrange local postage.

I will send you a PM.

Thanks for the bump, Chris! Unfortunately I won't be ordering from Freestyle as B&H offers a lower price on film.

Thanks for the PM fergus, I've sent you a reply. As it stands, the cost of shipping is $63.46 between two people.

id also be in for a B&H order. i too live around the castle hill region, but pickup from the city works for me.

just wondering, would be possible to buy things other than film too?

You must make sure that the total order incl postage is less than $1000AUS otherwise you're up for GST plus "administrative charges" of something like $50.

I would add to the order but I'm in Melbourne.

Yes, buying things other than film is fine as long as it's reasonably sized i.e no large tripods, 42" television, etc. 😛

Yes, I'm aware of that, but thank you for bringing that up John. If it comes to the point the order exceeds $1000AUD, further additions to the order from that point onward will not be taken.

From experience I've noticed all of my packages slightly exceeding $1000 passing through without trouble e.g. $1200.

I would be able to send it to you via Australian Post if you find that it would be cheaper to add to the order than it would to be to order it yourself. I don't know how much film (or other things) you'll be purchasing, but AusPost is reasonably priced (if I recall correctly).

Total excluding shipping: $447.35USD
Shipping: $76.06 / 3
