B&H’s Free Next Day Shipping promotion

Unpredictable COVID delays side, B&H Photo is running their customary Free Next Day Shipping promotion (with expedited handling) during the holiday shopping period…

Eligible items mention this promotion on their listing with the airplane-emoji “Free Next Day Delivery” text in the listings [see above] or the individual product pages. No coupon code is needed. You are eligible for this while this promotion is running – look for the options in the shipping.

This offer is only good for the US and only for items that are ready to ship right now. “Next Day” shipping won’t do you any good (holiday gift-giving and gift-buying wise) for something that will be in-stock in February 🙂

Ends Tue PM: Apple M1 instant savings ($50 to $100 off, select options)

The M1 benchmarks and reviews and the sad state of Intel have made the current and future Apple M-series silicon computers a true non-hype breakthrough in the world of computing. Already there’s a 1140+ backer Patreon project by “marcan” to port Linux to the M1. Imagine Linux running on such a platform!

The M1X even-crazier performance rumors have cooled off some of the crazy demand for the first generation M1 computers, which mayhaps explain some of the surprise instant savings promotions…

Speaking of which, select M1 computers have an instant savings promotion running until Tuesday 12/22/20 at 11:59pm eastern at B&H Photo as follows:

+ 13.3″ MacBook PRO (Retina, 8GB, 256GB, Space Gray) for $1199
+ silver remains at $1299 starting price

+ Mac Mini (8GB, 256GB) for $639
+ a $60 off instant savings

+ Mac Mini (8GB, 512GB) for $849
+ a $50 off instant savings

+ as usual, keep in mind, shipment of high-demand items can be unpredictable and that’s before we consider the impact of COVIDalia
