At Adorama, as a contrast, where I have bought very little (donīt ask me why, because I donīt know), I was given a fair discount on my first purchase, by referring to this community. Guess where Iīll be going next time ...
What if someone told you that you got good prices all throughout all of your B&H purchases, good enough that they couldn't afford to give you a discount? What if the prices you paid have sustained a business that continues to stock what people purchase, so they can order it and have it ship within a day? Why would you assume you'd get a special discount down the line if one was never offered or promised to you?

Look, it's your money, so go spend it where you want. I buy from my local brick & mortar store when I want something RIGHT NOW or if they have the same price as Amazon/B&H/Adorama. Otherwise, I buy from Amazon (living in Seattle means tons of great shipping options, including same-day or in a locker so it's not sitting on my doorstep to get stolen by a passerby) if they have it for a good price, or I go with B&H/Adorama. I've always liked B&H, and respect how they do business, so I tend to go with them, though I've seen Adorama make much better packaging decisions for a few sheets of Rosco gels so I have been known to pick them.
