A response from B&H re. non-shipment of some brands of Binoculars

Good question and I’m not sure – but you’d still be buying it in your name but just delivered to a different address.

Would that be any different from buying it over in the US while on holiday warranty-wise?

(I’m no US warranty law expert – I’m sure there’s one on the B-A mailing list somewhere though!).

Cheers all,

Ed
