I know this isn't the right place, and I apologize, but I am in a bind. I typically order everything from B&H, but they are closed for over a week for a holiday. Where else can I order things like batteries, lenses, ect? I absolutely need new batteries by SATURDAY!

Thanks for the help

I think they reopen at 7:30 EST today. If you place today or tomorrow and next day it, it should be there to you on Friday.

Thats what I thought, but their customer service doesn't return until next Wednesday.

Oh. Try TapeWorks Texas (http://www.tapeworkstexas.com). I think they are on the approved vendors list.

Yeah, they are closed for succot for a week. Although most Jewish people are only required to close for the first 2 days and the last 2 days, but they are orthodox and because of it they close for the whole week.

I just placed an order Abel-Cine Tech. They have a New York office and they took great care of me. Here's their website: Abel Cine Tech - About Abel Cine Tech (http://www.abelcine.com/articles/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=26)

Thanks guys for your help. I actually already ordered them from a different company, but now I'm kicking myself cause I don't think they are going to get here on time... but they were MUCH cheaper thann on Abel-Cine Tech. I'll keep Abel-Cine Tech in mind thoug for next time. It seems that every time there is a Jewish holiday, I need something. I don't hold that against B&H (obviously), but it gets really frustrating!
