ESTAFA
February 10, 2023

Me he comprado un iphone en las mejores condiciones posibles por 512€. Ha sido un fracaso. El movil tardó en llegar mas de lo esperado y nunca pude contactar con la empresa de transporte. Al final llego y me lo quedé.
Pero el iphone no funciona bien, ni la app de la camara, ni mas de la mitad de aplicaciones. Va fatal. En la pagina web pone que tiene garantia de 2 años. MENTIRA. He contactado con ellos y se desentienden del problema porque se me ha roto el cristal de atras. Obviamente no tiene nada que ver una cosa con la otra. El movil fallaba desde el principio, solo les pido que revisen el movil y me lo arreglen (por dentro). No quieren saber mas de mi movil. 500€ sin garantia y con un movil que no funciona. Amigos inviertan en un movil nuevo, esto es una estafa

Backmarket

Quick service got within days. Phone looked brand new with no scratches. Excellent follow-up from them being sure we were happy. Already looking at another one from them. No longer will my phone be tied down to one carrier.

First time user- Extremely Satisfied
January 13, 2023

The quality, price, & speed of service were above my expectations. I purchased an 2018 MacBook Pro in "Good" condition, but it was restored to like-new. It arrived/shipped one day faster than estimated.

Awesome website
January 10, 2023

Got a phone & some airpods from Back Market...the phone was amazing & I paid $300 less then regular retail. One of the airpods did not work, I let Back Market know & their communication was amazing. They sent me a label, I sent the airpods back & I should receive another pair in the next few days.

Great condition and great prices
January 10, 2023

I have now ordered two devices off of backmarket. Both arrived in great condition and with 100% battery health. The only sign of use to my new apple watch was to the packaging, but the watch and band look untouched. I have had my iPhone for a few years now and have had zero issues with it. Great service. I have put a plastic case over the screen since I have an outside job and want to keep the screen protected.

YouTube Review
January 8, 2023

I purchased the purple iPhone 11 from this website and I love it. Everything is in good condition and very new. It also was a great price for the amount of storage that came with this phone. I also made a review on my YouTube channel about it which is non-sponsored, so yes, I spent it with my hard earned money, although I wish it was sponsored my YouTube is nyfromnextdoor. You can check it out. I will also leave the link for you all to watch.it has 9.2K plus views, and hopefully more to come. https://youtu.be/hjjlg02ZGS8

Very Reliable Company
January 7, 2023

Back Market is a very reliable company. The one thing that stood out to me about them is that they responded to messages promptly and kept me in the loop of things regarding my purchase. I have also found great satisfaction in their products. One time I had a problem with a product and it was speedily changed without any complications. I really liked that.

Avoid. I ordered a cooker and it was delivered late, after I had left my house. I opened it the next time I got to the house (I live abroad so it was two months later) and it was smashed to pieces inside the packaging. As they had delivered it late, I hadn't seen the driver and now they won't allow it to be returned. They originally said 'Hello Ben, We are sorry to hear that your package was damaged during delivery. We do our best to protect our fragile products, please accept our sincere apologies. Don't worry, we'll send you another product or a refund!' and then changed their minds and stopped answering messages. I had to buy exactly the same cooker from another supplier and wasted over 5000 euros on Backmarket sending me a smashed item. Complete false economy trying to support the circular economy, buy new and it wont completely waste devices!

Quick, convenient, quality
January 7, 2023

When I ordered i expected moderate damage given the huge discount for a fair quality device. But when it arrived it had two corners with small scuffs that removed the color, and a 1mm scratch on the screen. I am super happy with my purchase and am amazed that on top of the major discount, I also got 24 months of accidental insurance offered as well!

This company needs work, beware!
February 5, 2023

After a successful iPhone 8+ purchase 7 years ago, I went back, second time a laptop and it was awesome. Next was a Samsung galaxy note 20 12/29/22, this is the beginning of the end. Late delivery got $20 shipping fee back, but ordered good condition phone, way too many scratches to qualify as good, more like fair. As of 1/6/23 still have not provided an invoice with 1 year warranty date adjusted to delivery date. The last order 12/31/22, again late delivery $39 refunded! Seller unresponsive after 48 hours. Contacted backmarket directly for help! Again I ordered a good condition Apple iPhone 12 128 G! The phone I received was the worst excuse for a refurbished phone ever. Looks like it went in garbage disposal! The only accessory with phone was a 2' black (not Apple) charging cord, no charging cube! The phone needed charging and overheated immediately! Even after charging just trying to set up it was hot to touch! The speaker volume was barely there even on speaker phone during calls! The battery life was 83%, after first full charge! This really angered me as no one was responding and all I got were excuses! Promises to escalate and no follow up! Even emails telling me I have a message from backmarket do not link to this item, but an old order for laptop! They have been made aware of the issues, have all my info and no one bothered to call! I requested a return shipping last night 1/5/23, received at 9:30 am 1/6/23. With a whole list of steps to follow to return the item for refund! I completed everyone printed label they provided and dropped off at UPS, 11:00 AM. I call backmarket again to ask what happens now. Keaton says, 2 day shipping, seller has 2 days to inspect return, then refund issued which in reality means 3-5 days back to payment method! I said no what I will do is contact my bank, dispute charge as this was not what I ordered and paid for! He apologized but not sincerely! I also yet again have never received a invoice for this purchase. Bank put money back in my account and I gave them UPS TRACKING NUMBER! NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE THIX COMPANY! Went to Amazon refurbished, got excellent condition phone, charger and cable same IPhone 12 128G same price with 2 day free shipping! Lesson learned! Good luck!

Backmarket is trusted
January 6, 2023

At first I hesitated buying my first device on backmarket but when I got the device (galaxy watch 3) on (march 18 2021), it came clean,and looked new. I also recently bought some new buds on (December 26 2022) (beats studio buds) just like the watch it came clean and looked new. I will definitely buy from them again some other time.

When I ordered my iPad the description said "good", I can't find one thing wrong, internal or cosmetic. It's basically new. It was about 1/4 the cost of a new one. I'd never buy an electronic anywhere else. The only downfall will be when more people find out about this site. Customer for life.
