Well, I might as well use this space to rant about some issues. That's what I do best. Anyways, everybody is concerned these days with the environment and "going green" and so on and so forth. That brings me to my love/hate relationship with B&H Photo in New York.
Let me set the stage: I ordered some various supplies from them this week. A few Rosco gels and a mini DV case holder. The order arrived no problem, but the boxes were stuffed with a ridiculous amount of packing supplies:
The gels were in a huge cardboard box stuffed with those Styrofoam peanuts. The tape case was surrounded by 27 (count 'em) of those plastic air pillow thingys.
I'm all for packing high-ticket items accordingly, but c'mon. Just stick those gels in a tube. And the tape case would have been fine with about 5 of those pillow thingys. Let's keep things simple. I've got enough garbage I have to throw out already. Plus, wouldn't it cut down on the company's overhead? Or do they somehow make money by using an obscene amount of Styrofoam peanuts?
Just asking.
