B&H Photo will be closed for Passover beginning at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 19 through Tuesday, April 30.

However, you can still generate quotes, place orders, and submit purchase orders through the supplier website in Buckeye Buy on specific days during the closure. Note that product will not be shipped until B&H reopens on Wednesday, May 1. Purchase orders issued during the closures will still be accepted but product will not ship until B&H reopens.

On Friday, March 29, an update will be made to transaction routing for Service Centers. Previously, for individuals assigned both the Rep and Lead security roles (Business Operations Service Center or Grants Operations Service Center) the transaction did not route for an additional approval. Moving forward, this feature will be turned off. If an individual has both security roles (Rep and Lead) the transaction will now route for an additional approval.
