Easy to use, honest service
Simple to follow instructions for getting an estimate and then posting the items, and then they were valued well and I received the money in my bank account promptly. Can't fault it.

I recently had to return a lens that I had purchased under warranty and the whole process was quickly dealt with without any problems. I was even allowed to select a different make and type of lens to replace the faulty one. Now that’s what I call customer service and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Always my first port of call
Always my first port of call when selling or buying used equipment. A very easy process from start to finish. A very honest company. I have had my offer increased once the equipment I'm selling has been inspected (this has happened a few times now). Highly recommended

My most recent purchase from mpb is a Nikon D800. The camera arrived very quickly and was well packed. It is in Very good condition with only very minor signs of use. I like the fact that mpb show several photos of the exact item so you can see condition before purchase. I will buy from mpb again.

Add an extra star
Buying used kit can be a gamble. Not in my experience of buying from MPB.
I needed to upgrade from the original "kit" lenses for my Canon 80D [actually original with a previous model years ago.
With new prices way beyond my budget I naturally turned to MPB - and that proved to be a very sound decision.
Both lenses [Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 and Sigma 18-200] arrived on time, well packed for safety and looked like new. Just as in the website pix.
My wife and I spent several minutes examining them closely for any signs of previous use. Eventually Mrs W spotted a tiny surface scratch about 2mm long on the underside of the Tamron. That was all.
Results from the first test shoot have been excellent. In my view MPB merits SIX stars.

Excellent service
The lens I purchased was described as ‘as new’ and that description was perfect for the lens that I received. Delivery was prompt although I would say it was over-packaged.

Communication wise this is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with, I have emailed them regarding a trade in I have with them and got no reply, I sent a message on their online chat support and got no reply. It’s now over 48 hours since my order has been finalised but since then have had no communication from them as to when my camera will be dispatched.

Great gear at great prices
I’ve bought 2 items from MPB after checking a lot of online stores. MPB had the best prices for the best equipment. Both items were as described or better. MPB has become my go to store.

Everything went as expected. Minor disappointment was camera body description and actual product received. In my opinion “ like new” should not have worn out “AEL” button and 50000 plus shutter count. Would not stop me from using them again for future purchases.

I ordered a specific full frame lens 2 instock and they then sent a dx lens and in the meantime the others were gone. Not much remorse from them, You would think they would check issues like that before shipping. to me it shows a lack of responsibility on their part. Not have good quality controlus-8968200
