Hi everyone,

We are going to be working with MPB very soon, so I’m keen on any feedback you may have if you’ve used their services to buy or sell?

I used them myself for the first time yesterday and must say I was personally very impressed by the easy process and excellent communication.

Looking forward to your responses.

Thanks in advance,
Tracey

I've bought and sold from them many times over the years.

It's been my experience that their service has always been first class.

MPB is my go-to company for part-ex. Excellent service.
They make both buying and selling so easy, and any problems are dealt with quickly and courteously. Can't fault them.

Great to hear! Smile
We’re looking at potentially partnering with them, as our exclusive used gear specialist, so this is all sounding very positive.

They are very good with the goods

Much less good with answering the phone or indeed emails.

A bit of of a mixed bag but overall positive, in my view.

Bought a macro lens for Canon about 5 years ago from them. Very good sales and service experience. Would certainly use them again if required.

Interesting - I’d be keen to know more please?
I’m looking for feedback on both sides of the scale - thanks.

I'm surprised to hear that. They've always been prompt with answering emails. Haven't had need to phone so can't comment on that.

I must say my experience last night was the same - they responded to my emails really quickly, politely and very friendly & professional.

Bought several times no problems. My recent part exchange was let down by the courier not turning up as advised and had to be rescheduled. The email exchange gave no indication on whether the fault lay with MPB or the couriers DPD.

I have actually been dealing with MPB over the past 3 days. So my experience is very current. It may be they are going through a difficult patch as are many businesses.

But it is near impossible to get through on the phone - it rings and rings and you eventually get told to send an email. Which you do.... and it goes unanswered!

They said, I would not hesitate to buy from them.
