Great website
December 19, 2022

Bought an IPad from Back Market for a super great deal. The iPad was pretty much brand new and in perfect condition. It was shipped fast and came in its original packaging. 10/10 would and am buying from them again.

3x good experiences
December 19, 2022

I've bought three phones from them now and all three experiences have been excellent. My most recent purchase stands out as the most remarkable. The "good condition" phone I got was pristine - looks & acts 100% brand new - but cost less than half the current retail price. And while I was promised that it would be shipped within three days, I actually received it 2.5 days after I'd ordered it. I'll be getting my next phone from them too.

Really good phones for a cheaper price
December 19, 2022

I bought an iPhone 12 pro max and an iPhone 11 in fair condition. And these phones both came with over 90% battery life with scratches not visible when the screen protector is on.

BackMarket General Review
December 18, 2022

I've shopped with BackMarket a few times in the past year! They've been nothing but amazing all the way through! Products come in the quality you choose for your price range! Their communication and customer service is amazing, very helpful! Me personally, I look for all my products in Good or Excellent quality!

I've had only and issue with one product and refund has been made without problems (including shipping refund because shipping ticket didn't meet requirements)... I've bought two other products and haven't had any problems, they are working pretty well (I always prefer buying on excellent condition). The worst experience you can have is shipping. They tend to arrive late (several days late) or product might not come inside the protective plastic.

If its you first time, I would suggest buying something at a low price so you can have the experience. There can be better shipping services, but in overall, I say it's pretty good for what you pay!

Excellent service
December 15, 2022

Easily accessible customer service for any questions or mediating with sellers, streamlined purchase and good quality product. Have purchased many products, few required follow up with sellers but in general expect a smooth purchase of working refurbished products. Great selection!

I've bought primarily Apple products on BM because I don't like the idea of paying the super high prices for new, and don't mind having something that is a few generations older. So far, I've had good experiences purchasing a MacBook via BM (only one time my order was randomly canceled, and another time the laptop had a defect) -- but the returns and reporting process was pretty easy. My current MacBook and Apple Watch are both BM purchases and work like new, thus far, and I didn't have to spend $1K+ on them. With the supply chain and major e-waste issues, I hope more people choose to go with refurbished items in general, rather than trading in for new phones/computers/wearables every 12 months.

Just Like New
December 15, 2022

I have purchased three smartphones for my son. The first was a Samsung Galaxy A32. It shipped fast, had one tiny scratch you could barely see, and worked perfectly. He was able to play his games and it was large enough. Somehow he sat on it and broke it, after just a few months. He purchased the next one but I didn't read the size and it was too small. Also, he managed to break the charger off in it. So, a couple days ago I ordered another A32 5g for him for Christmas. It actually shipped the same day I ordered it. It is coming today! After less than three days! I could hardly believe it. Now, I can have my phone back, and hopefully this one will last a long time. Backmarket is freakin' awesome, and my 17 year old daughter just ordered a phone as well. She adores it of course. I will never buy new again, thanks for being so perfect and helping our weary planet.

Order number: *******

I couldnt able to find 0 that's why giving 1. I bought Samsung Note 20 Ultra perfect condition from Backmarket. Later I discovered a slight gap all over the siding. Then I sent my phone back for the repair. However, they offered me refund or repair options so I told them I will exchange. I sent the phone on 14 November 2022. They repaired the phone and sent it to my old address even though I told them thousand times that I have changed my address.

The delivery man called me and I rejected the parcel. Also the delivery report shows that the parcel is rejected by the receipient and heading back to the seller.

**Now I experienced the most bizarre thing. One of their customer agent 'Marilyn' told me product has been received using your signature so you have to do a police complain to save yourself although delivery report showed it was refused by me. But they keep saying that to get a refund you have to do a police complain. Finally they told me that the phone was found and we will process the refund.

**Today is 13/12/22, I am still waiting for the refund of 630 Euro.**

I advise all the people to be careful with your purchase with BackMarket. Dont be greedy over lucrative offer becuase you will never know how they are reapairing or reconditioning the phone.If it takes 100 more then buy it from the store, please.

They are selling the phone in perfect condition that means they repaired something inside the phone.

DO NOT TRUST. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER
January 12, 2023

I spent my hard-earned money on a phone that was supposedly inspected, refurbished, and guaranteed to be fully functional. The camera is mechanically defective. The phone obviously wasn't inspected, much less refurbished. Getting a human at Backmarket to try to resolve THEIR mistake is nearly impossible. The "runaround" Backmarket gave me after FINALLY getting a response has been absurd. They do everything possible to avoid honoring their guarantee. DO NOT TRUST.

Had my reservations
January 12, 2023

Had my reservations about buying a second hand phone but because iPhones are not in stock until the next year I gave it a chance. Of course the phone that arrived was faulty and after the first fix there was another problem. I'm pretty sure this phone was stolen originally and hence not functional

Great company to shop with
December 13, 2022

I have ordered multiple phones from BackMarket. I have had problems with a couple of those phones. Every interaction has encouraged me to continue shopping with them! They consistently listened to my needs, responded quickly, and the products I purchase end up exactly as advertised.

Very pleasantly happy with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra received from Back Market. The phone looks brand new! It was delivered on time and in excellent condition. I will definitely order again from Back Market and recommend their business to my friends.

Great Company
December 12, 2022

I recently bought an iPhone and iPad from them and although described as in "good" condition each looked and performed like new. Fast delivery as well. I've also bought iPhones from them in the past for my wife and me with the same experience.

Bought two, buying a third.
December 12, 2022

I purchased two phones 2 years apart from back market. I still have my used Galaxy S9+ two years later, and it still works like new and looks flawless. I bought my second refurbished phone from them, and will be buying my third from them. Not only are the products good, but the price can't be beat. Shipping was also fast.

I was quite skeptical purchasing a renewed phone at first, I ordered the Galaxy S22 Ultra in the "Excellent" condition option for just $700 (compared to its $1200+ retail price)! When it arrived I was still worried at what I may have received, but to my surprise the phone was in flawless, brand new condition. The phone itself was still wrapped in its plastic adhesive, and everything about the phone was untouched. Additionally, although this is very uncommon, the phone came in its original box! Very very surprised by this order but extremely grateful I took the chance with it.
