How to Set Up a Return or Warranty claim
If you have an account with MPB, you can get started on arranging your return by heading to your transactions page through our website.
If you have used MPB before as a ‘Guest’, you can register your email address previously used to gain access to your order history and arrange a return.
To submit a return request:
Open Transactions.
Select ‘Show order details’ on the order you want to return.
Select ‘Start Return’
Provide the reason and your preferred outcome.
Once arranged, a return ticket will be generated, or a return confirmation email will be sent you.
Outcome Options
Exchange or Replacement
Select "Exchange" and you'll be guided to choose a replacement item from our listings. You can review the item, including what's included, before confirming your selection. Once selected, you'll see an overview of any price difference. If the replacement costs more, you'll pay the difference. If it costs less, we'll refund the difference.
Any payment or refund difference is resolved once your return has been received and checked. You'll then receive a confirmation link to enter your delivery details and arrange payment.
For change-of-mind returns, your replacement will be automatically reserved. If your return is due to a shortfall or fault, your replacement won't be allocated until our team has processed the return.
Refund
Where a refund is applicable, this option will also be available to select. Once your items have been returned and checked, you will receive a confirmation email detailing the issued refund back to your original payment method.
Next steps
If you're returning due to a change of mind, you'll receive a confirmation email with instructions for returning your kit. If there's an issue or fault with your item, a ticket will be submitted to our support team for further review.

Further Information
Why does my return have a different transaction number?
When we process a return, it generates a new transaction number (TX number) because it creates a new, separate record in our system. This helps us track your return independently from your original purchase or trade. It ensures a smoother process for refunds, replacements, or warranty claims by clearly separating each transaction type.
Why have I only received part of my refund?
If you've returned your item(s) within the return period, we will refund you the full purchase amount via your original payment method.
If you've returned an item that you purchased from MPB as part of a trade in—and if you paid us during this transaction—the refund may be split into two separate payments:
1. Refund via the original payment method (debit/credit card, PayPal)
2. Reimbursement of the balance to your bank account via bank transfer.
You will receive the full amount that we owe you.
How long can repairs take?
The repair process typically takes 8 to 12 weeks (around 2 to 3 months), depending on the type of item and the complexity of the repair. Leica repairs can take longer, usually between 6 and 12 months.
Repairs can sometimes come back sooner than this, but it's best to plan around the higher end of the estimate, as timeframes can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the repair.
Is the MPB Warranty Transferable?
No- the MPB Warranty is linked to the original purchaser’s MPB account. This means it can’t be transferred to a new owner. Any return or warranty claim must be submitted by the account holder who originally bought the item.
How do I get a receipt for my refund?
We will send you a confirmation email once your refund has been processed. Refunds may take 2-3 business days to reflect on your account, depending on your bank.
If you need a receipt for your refund, our team can provide one for you. Please contact us with your order details, and we’ll send it over.
Can I request a refund under warranty?
Refunds aren't generally offered as part of the warranty process. Instead, we'll offer a replacement of the item, or an exchange if there isn't a suitable replacement available.
