When the package arrived, I could feel and hear the phone rattling around in its box. There was no bubble wrap present, nor was it the original box but a flimsy substitute with an internal pocket that... See more

I’m pleased with the MacBook Pro itself. It arrived in good condition and runs well. However, I ordered it expecting a UK keyboard and only later realised it has a US layout. This was frustrat... See more

Great quality item

I was really pleased with the quality and price of the item I purchased after previously being let down by a similar company twice who sent out items of lower quality than I paid for. Back market sent an item that was better than expected and I will be using them every time from now on

Horrendous experience

Horrendous experience. Ordered a new iPhone prior to going on holiday. DPD tracking could no longer locate the package. Raised it with Back Market and they said I had to wait 6 days before they could do anything and I had to escalate it with DPD myself. DPD said they needed to raise it as an issue. clearly the package got lost. It still hasn't arrived and no-one seems to be doing anything about it. I keep getting emails informing me my trade in window has expired and how I am enjoying my new phone that I don't have.

Generally very decent but the spamming is endless

Generally very decent but the spamming is just relentless. I swear I've unsubscribed and turned off notifications from their app - over and over. But they just keep finding you and pushing more crap. Heaven forbid you should look at something on their site and not buy it. The alerts will find you over and over till you buy it.

Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience – upgraded to an iPhone 15 Plus!
Upgraded my phone through Back Market and couldn't be happier. The price was great, the phone arrived in immaculate condition as described, and everything from delivery to setup was completely hassle-free. Saved a fortune compared to buying brand new. Highly recommend!

Received factory sealed Galaxy Watch Ultra

Purchased a Galaxy Watch Ultra in excellent condition, got a 2 month old factory sealed unit! Must've been an overstock or an unopened return, overall a brand new watch for half price is always a win in my books. This was my second purchase from Backmarket. My first was the Galaxy Fold 6 again in Excellent condition and while the phone was mint it did not even come with the original box. The screen has started to peel (as expected with a foldable) but Backmarket offers easy sending it in for repair under the 12 month warranty.

Prompt delivery

Prompt delivery, packaged beautifully and securely and product works perfectly. I’m not a first time buyer and the experience has been consistent. So they’ve been tested and trusted.
