Very pleased!
February 24, 2022

I purchased an iphone 11 for my granddaughter. It was advertised in "excellent" condition. It looked new out of the box, no scratches, etc. It arrived on time. She has had it approximately 2 weeks and it has performed perfectly. Will purchase again from this company. 100% satisfied.

Great site for finding a good value
March 11, 2021

I have purchased several iPhones over the last few years on this website. In each case I got a phone in mint condition that was fully operational and has served me well. I like their site for its ease of navigation and clarity. I recommend it to others.

Best deal ever
February 12, 2022

I was a bit fearful of a potentially sketchy company. All fears were laid to rest on reception of new (refurbished) MacBookPro.

I am a professional musician and full time teacher. I use this laptop to prepare and run several online courses, course pages for individual lessons and ensembles, in addition to regular online activity and daily use. First thing I did was upgrade to the Monterey OS and was off and running.

I received a LIKE NEW laptop advertised as "Fair Condition". Cosmetically there were some very minor scuff marks on the casing. Otherwise everything was in perfect shape and works blazingly well. Fast performing, lots of memory. Everything I need for online work and various music and recording software apps. $1600-$2000 device for $400.

I definitely plan to use Back Market again.

You can call me Al
October 9, 2021

I truly didn't believe the phones where that new for the price. I figured it had to be a scam. So I was reluctant. But when I ordered the phone came in fast. The quality was honestly LIKE NEW. Sure there were no head phones. But I still haven't used my factory ones yet either. Apple buds are just too good... but I am here to tell you guys as I write this review with the phone they sent to me. I am happy with my purchase and glad I took the leap. I personally received 6 emails so far just asking me if im happy and hows it going. Now thats customer service. You guys get a A++++ from me.

Excellent Transaction From Start To Finish
February 12, 2022

I love my new (refurbished) iPhone 11 Pro Max and am writing this after using the device for over two weeks.

After local tech professionals suggested Back Market for refurbished iPhones, I navigated with website with ease and found Back Market to offer all of the options that I was interested in plus a better than average cost. The reviews sounded legitimate, so I took a chance. Back Market notified me of delivery updates and accompanied me, during the brief wait, with entertaining emails along the way.

I selected the "excellent condition" option and am very pleased with my new (refurbished) phone. The iPhone 11 Pro Max arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Cosmetically, it is flawless, and everything works without any problems. The transfer was easy enough with a few tweaks and a bit of assistance from Verizon. I definitely made one of my best purchasing decisions by choosing Back Market and am happy to highly recommend this company for all of your refurbished tech needs.

Pretty good value.
July 13, 2021

I needed a cheaper phone temporarily, and when I got it, it looked to be in very respectful condition. Only issues I've noticed is the auto rotate doesn't work, as I believe there's previously been motherboard repair to my device. Along with some minor nicks, which was to be expected of course. Other than the rotate issue, wonderful.

Great product and service
February 13, 2022

I have been satisfied with all aspects of the shopping experience, purchase and prompt delivery. There is great value for the money in being able to keep the same features that I have always liked about my previous 2015 Macbook Pro.

I purchased a laptop from this company. Items are supposedly "refurbished". When I got my laptop the fan made a grinding noise, and the laptop did not have windows loaded. The laptop also came with less Memory than advertised and a lower quality processor. I've never received an item so far from advertised. Don't waste your time as you'll be sending back their defective items that aren't even what you ordered.

I needed a quick and inexpensive replacement for a dead iPhone. Back Market site helped me to make an educated decision on what model to choose that fits best my needs, as well as ample inventory of pre-owned iPhones. The product was delivered as advertised, and communication and post-purchase follow-up were outstanding. I highly recommend this company for someone in a similar situation and needs. Good job, guys!

This website is legit. Don't worry about trusting these guys. I ordered a new phone with them and I've been loving it. It was exactly as described and the price was competitive. I will definitely be buying from back market again!

1/2 $, Like New!
July 11, 2022

I've always been skeptical about refurbished items but with the year warranty which you can choose to extend for an additional year, it is well worth it! My brand new AirPods only lasted from 12.19-05.22; this isn't much more than two years. I cannot tell that the refurbished AirPods are not new. Save your money and cut down on waste.

Their buy back prices however are not great. You can resell old AirPods for more money elsewhere.

Please don't risk shopping and waste your money at BackMarket. They sell for other businesses - like Amazon or Ebay. I bought a Samsung S10, but they sold me defective phone and the wrong screen protector and refused to repair, exchange or refund either - despite having a warranty. I highly discourage anyone from shopping through BackMarket. The customer service was very rude too. I was shocked. I don't order much online, but have never had such a terrible experience. It's a dishonest business.

Picked up an older iPhone model 8 plus refurbished, but very clean and in excellent condition. Shipping was quick, had a question with customer service which was answered timely and professionally. Overall the product and customer service was second to none.

First stop for good prices on refurbished tech
December 1, 2022

I don't purchase brand new tech when it comes out. I much prefer to wait until it reduces in price, sometimes as much as 70%. Back Market is the perfect website to facilitate this. I've bought a number of devices from this site and been satisfied each time with the price and quality.

I actually had an unexpected error getting my sim card to work in an unlocked Pixel 5. I worked with the vender to see if we could fix the issue. But when that failed, they allowed me to return it, at no cost, for a full refund. I've since bought a different Pixel 5 and that one worked perfectly.

I purchased an iphone from Back Market recently. When the phone arrived, the camera would not function, and the battery was so bloated that the exterior of the phone would not close properly. I asked for a refund, and was told refunds were unavailable...the best the company could do is offer a new phone in exchange.

I reluctantly agreed to the exchange, but never received a replacement device. The reseller claims that the device was delivered, but there was no proof of purchase or signature for the package. I once again asked for a refund, and but that also was refused by Back Market. They have claimed no responsibility and offered no solution. $600+ later, and I have nothing to show for it.

This has been a terrible experience. I would never recommend this company to anyone. I am weighing the option of taking legal action against them.

Great follow through! Customer Service is awesome and involved from the get.
This Google pixel 2 is the best phone I ever purchased and I got it through back market at a great price I could have not afforded this phone at a "new" price but it's just as good as brand new! Great condition. Sleek and super fast with no scratches or blemishes. Thanks backmarket. I definitely recommend checking out back market before buying new! You'll save so much. And with a 30 day guarantee, there is nothing to lose! Black market is backing up their game and have earned my business for sure

No Need to Waste Money Buying a New Device!
August 3, 2023

Through strategies that foster premature obsolesce the tech industry strives mightily to encourage us to replace our devices on an overly short schedule. You don't need to fall for their tricks! Back Market offers an alternative and provides excellent quality second-hand gear that is just as good (and better because it will make you feel great about yourself!) and offers excellent service. You will not be disappointed!

Date of experience: August 3, 2023
