Just so you all know, and can just close out this thread……..the package was just left on my doorstep with no specific delivery date shown other than my walking outside and picking it up. And all I was doing by posting this to begin with was to tell others to beware…..not trying to tell people not to deal with MPB, just to beware.
In my experience, MPB uniformly ships by FedEx, and always has a tracking number on the package shipping label. More expensive items usually require an adult signature at the point of delivery. Less expensive items do not.
But in any event, if you enter the tracking number on the FedEx website, you can determine the date the FedEx driver made the delivery. This is the date MPB will use as the date of delivery, and you will have a heavy burden proving otherwise.
And once you have the tracking number, which MPB sends you when the package ships, you can also arrange with FedEx to get email and/or text updates on the progress of the delivery, including proof of delivery often with a picture of the item and its surroundings.
That way, if there is a mis-delivery, which does occasionally happen, you are aware of the event and can hunt for the package.
In addition, if you have your own account with FedEx, these notifications and most importantly the anticipated delivery date and proof of delivery, are automatic, provided the delivery address and account address match. You can also tell FedEx to deliver on a day when you will be home, or to hold the package for pickup at the FedEx depot. In the latter case my guess is that the MPB return period would begin to run from the date the package is available for pickup.
I beleive tnat there are a couple of drugstore chains the have an agreement with FedEx that allows the item being shipped to you to be diverted to one of their stores and held for you to pick up the package at the drugstore.

I have made several purchases from MPB and have sold them an item. I would have said that they were great to deal with until today. I purchased a Nikon P1000 from them but after receiving it, I decided it was way too big for my liking. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it and I emailed them to ask for how to return for a refund. They told me that it has been more than 14 days since I received it…..it has not been! ….so they won’t refund it but I could sell it back to them
Ah no!!! So now I’m stuck with this camera and I will certainly never deal with MPB again.
Just beware

This is from their website:
"No hassle returns
If you find the item isn't as described, you can return it free for a full refund within 14 days of arrival."
You did find the item was "as described," you just decided it didn't meet your preferences - so it would seems like 14 days isn't the issue.

Sorry, but it's difficult deciding what to believe from you when your title is clearly
"Don’t deal with MPB" !

I suspect the commercial equivalent of revenge porn, posted in haste and perhaps reconsidered with an attempt to walk it back.

I am intrigued over the term,"revenge porn", never having heard of nor seen it before. What does the phrase mean?
Thanks.

An example would be posting a nude picture on the internet of your significant other after a breakup.

Likely more than you wanted to know.

i would like to ask a question,how can this camera be so inexpensive,it seems like with just the zoom capabilities alone it is a bargain!
MDI Mariner, right you were. I never relized the practice was so extensive as to rate an article in Wikipedia. Thanks for the education.

One of the downsides, unfortunately, of the digital age.
