B&H fire

After reading some of the threads about this fire at RPE.35 and RPD, I have to say......... It is very unfortunate that some people were/are more concerned about stuff than lives. Stuff perishes, but sometimes not as soon as the owner thereof.

Peter The fire does not appear to have interupted their operations too much, I got an email today for an order I placed on Fri saying it was shipped. This actually means it will go out sometime on Mon but that's no prob. Steve |

Steve Steve, Same here, I place 2 separate orders just before I learned about the nearby fire which supposedly caused them to only suffer "minor water damage in their warehouse". They have responded back stating that both orders have been filled. Maybe my Canon PowerShot A95 will come in a smoke scented box. I have complete trust that if the box got even a little wet, they would not ship it & simply add it to their insurance claim of damages. Rather pleased that they filled my orders so quickly, I was prepared & willing to want a week or 2 if needed, so this is a pleasant surprise. Respectfully, DHB PS As an E.T., I learned long ago that the key to reliability is planned redundancy. Stated differently, I would hope they don't have all of their eggs in 1 basket or in this case, 1 warehouse. A single warehouse has many advantages but as they nearly found out, at least 1 major disadvantage. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 |

From the customer side there seems to have been no adverse affect of the fire. |
