    B&H unable to ship PQ Universal (again)

    Sorry if this has already been posted elsewhere but you can't search the forums for "B&H" (guessing it it the '&' which is the problem). Anyway...

    Tried to re-order 5 ltr. Ilford PQ Universal and it is currently “Pickup Only” (in any quantity, not just 5 ltr.).
    Multigrade OK to ship.

    Had an order delivered earlier this year - no problem. Asked, via chat, if this was permanent or just for holidays. Got no answer, just a “check back later” with no hint as to when ‘later’ should be.

    This had happened before with them and just ‘went away’ after a month or so. I believe it had to do with the shipper they use, not B&H. But the chat guy would not confirm.

    Was able to order through Amazon (Adorama but with free shipping) for a couple $ more / 5 liter jug so it is not some Federal rule due to some chemical restriction.
    Just FYI.

    It's their play for the holiday "busy" season" and they seem to rinse & repeat every holiday season.

    Same thing with Ilford Bromophen 5L, store pick up only. It may be that they are short on stock. Ilford in UK shows several chemistry items out of stock. Microphen, DD, Bromophen, and several other items. Kodak Alaris has another recall on XTOL. Virus and overall chaos, I suspect that the New Jersey warehouse's cupboard is bare. And yes they only have so many people, they are shipping higher value items. USPS in in total meltdown on Eastern seaboard, packages taking 2 weeks to move 20 miles.

    I don't even try to order chemicals from B&H anymore. Since they wont ship anything I want for the last whatever, 10 years or so, I just assumed they won't ship any so I dont even bother window shopping chems there. I'm surprised to hear they ever ship any.

    Interesting. I ordered Formulary 130 recently and had no problems getting that. Same with TF-5. Think Rodinal was a no go however.
    notch codes ? I only use one film...

    Was able to order 5 ltr. Hypam and could have ordered 5 ltr. Multigrade Dev. Just not PQ.

    Things are a mess at B&H. I ordered a 3D printer and it shows as backordered with no arrival date - and it's been this way for a month or more. I guess shipping anything anywhere right now is a crapshoot.

    I think some offshore products are stuck in cargo ships on our shores

    This week I ordered some small photo accessories from B&H and Amazon both arrived in under 48 hours

    Ilford Postcard SG paper is taking 2 weeks from either Amazon or B&H

    I tried to order Kodak Stop Bath last year, and they wouldn’t ship it. But they would ship me Ilford stop bath.
