TP discount at MPB?

[Astraeus]

Is there one at all?

I've seen posts referring to free delivery etc. but couldn't see a TP-specific code to enter at checkout.

 

[Nikon f1.8]

No discount code or MPB

Thanks.

That leaves a straight shootout between MPB and UPG24UK on eBay, would be interested to know which of these people would go for:

Tamron 70-300mm F4-5.6 SP Di VC USD Autofocus Lens - Nikon Boxed, Caps & Hood EX | eBay

In addition, Tamron's VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization assists hand-held photography, not only at long focal length ranges where blurring is common, but also under low-lit conditions. This Tamron SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD Autofocus Lens - For Nikon - Boxed.

Do both give a warranty? That could be a deciding factor. Another difference is the condition as MPB is described as good and eBay as excellent. All depends what you’re happy with.

There is one in the classifieds under other brands for £150.

UPG24UK is one of many different trading names used by this seller, once known to many as 'the photographer's bag' - both sellers have variable feedback.

I'd be happy to help with a referral for mpb if anyone wants and that actually leads to a discount. No idea how it all works but I'm sure it's not rocket science

 

[AndrewFlannigan]

I've got zero complaints about MPB, having dealt with them several times. I'd be much more cautious on eBay these days and check the feedback carefully.

Thanks all. Owing to @Mike.P's eagle eyes, I've had to stray no further than the classifieds!

Now just got my 25% finders fee to settle the off to see Sky about my sellers fee.

If you're a student (or have a student child, or work in education) you can apply a Student Beans discount to MPB.

£10 off if you spend £100, £25 if you spend £250.

Not sure how long it has been going but I've been eligible for years and only just discovered this!

OK, but you'll have to come and collect it.

Thanks BTW - much appreciated.
