They don't post poor reviews
They don't post poor reviews. I bought a bulb with a 9,000 hour life and it only worked for 3 months. I posted an honest review and it's not posted after verifying the review. The bulb currently only has 4 and 5 star reviews.

I had a hard to find bulb for old dental light. 40 or 50 years old. They did not have the original but they had a bulb that worked perfectly good.

Found replacement for Edison thread incadescent bulb in LED that fits curio lighting fixtures. Not widely available. Received in good time and is an improvement on the original (brighter and cooler).

My order arrived on time and works great.
Fast delivery
Fast delivery, ordered 1 bulb and another of the same as a backup since the price was right. The first bulb had a broken filament, which I finally figured out after trying to insert it several times. The second works fine
Great Company
Bulb America had the exact bulb that I needed, and delivered it in perfect condition, and on time. They were a great company to do business with.
Easily the worst purchase I've made in years
I ordered 32 very small, two-prong LED bulbs from BulbAmerica recently. I ordered double the number I would need so that in the future I could easily replace them. I paid over $150 for these bulbs; it was more than I would have liked, but their shipping was high for a smaller order, so I didn't want to do multiple orders. I figured since they were LED, they would last forever.
Boy was I wrong. Three to four weeks in, more than half of the Chinese-made bulbs had failed: switching on and off or simply going out. Six weeks in and I've exhausted all the replacements. Half the lights are empty sockets now (since I've removed them), and several of the remaining ones barely produce any light.
I previously had incandescent bulbs for these lights instead, although I prefer LED. There were no issues with those, and they lasted a surprisingly long time.
I thought BulbAmerica would do some measure of quality control for the brands they stock, but they clearly don't. I suspect in reality they're actually just a drop shipping company.
No surprise, BulbAmerica refused to stand by their product. They said that since the product arrived at my home and it was outside their warranty period, they had no responsibility for the outcome. What they don't tell you is that their bulbs might fail right around the time their warranty ends.
As a side note, the reason I ordered 32 is because they wanted nearly $20 to ship a box of 16 very small bulbs. This box easily fits in your palm and would actually cost about $5 to ship.
Don't buy from them.
