Trusted

I’ve had a really good experience with Back Market, and I genuinely feel comfortable spending my hard-earned money with them. Buying refurbished can feel risky, but Back Market makes the whole process feel safe and transparent.

The products I’ve received were exactly as described, worked perfectly, and arrived on time. I appreciate how clearly they explain the condition of each device and include warranties, which gives real peace of mind. Their prices are fair, and it feels good knowing I’m saving money while also being more environmentally conscious.

Customer service has also been solid when I’ve had questions they’re responsive and helpful, which goes a long way in building trust. Overall, Back Market feels like a legit, reliable company, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again.

The IPad looks brand new

The IPad looks brand new , works great, other than being an apple product, but my grand kid needs an apple to run a specific program so I got one for less than half price with 128Gb

Very happy with my computer

Well, the computer they sent me was exactly what they described. I was skeptical at first ordering a used computer online. But so far the computer is amazing. I’m very happy that I made this purchase and I’m glad because I saved a lot of money for same performance, if I would’ve gotten it brand new. Even the charger was authentic Apple product.

Updated from iPhone SE to iPhone 14

Updated from iPhone SE to iPhone 14. Was going to go with a new phone but my son-in-law tipped me to Back Market. Could not be happier with choice. Phone works perfectly. Service from Black Market was comprehensive, reliable and quick. Saved me well over $300.

I have now bought 3 phones and an Xbox off of Back Market, and I have been 100% satisfied every time! All of the items came in great condition, great packaging, and worked great! I definitely plan to continue being a returning customer and recommend it to family, friends, and coworkers!

I ordered the iPhone 15 Pro

I ordered the iPhone 15 Pro in “Premium” condition and honestly I couldn’t tell if it was refurbished or not because it looked brand new with 97% battery health and 200 cycles only. Love it!

As a matter of fact, I’m writing this review from that exact same phone too.

Great business that's good for the environment and your wallet

I have bought several items from Backmarket and every one of them were in amazing condition regardless of being refurbished. They have tiers of condition you can choose for the item, and the most recent item I purchased was listed as "excellent" condition. It was FLAWLESS. Battery health is at 100% and I couldn't see a single scratch, buff, or scrape, on the apple watch. I can't recommend Backmarket enough!

Fake samsung.

I bought a Samsung galaxy 24 ultra premium, the phone was not a Samsung but just a phone. I know this because i have a Samsung galaxy 24 ultra and it didn’t even have a samsung logo at the back. I returned it immediately but it was very inconvenient as i had to wait. Buy from this seller at your own risk. It might be hit or miss!!
