Local Dealers

I have purchased from Adorama as well. They too are fine. Taxes are a different matter.

Where I live, you must either pay the state sales tax to the vendor (like B&H) and they send it to the state or you must pay sales tax on the online out-of-state purchases on your annual tax returns. Thus the B&H price and the Adorama prices are effectively the same, as it purchasing from a local brick and mortar store (if they have the items in stock, which they typically don't).

I tend to get most items, especially the big ones, locally to help the local guys stay open:)

Yes, I do buy, whenever possible, from local dealers.  But our most local dealer has long since given up keeping any reasonable level of inventory. The next closest is a 3 hour drive.  So one has to make do the best as you can.
