I have purchased 3 devices from this company and currently planning to purchase my fourth. I love Apple products and their prices on refurbished like new products looks just like a brand new at a cheaper price!! The products are top shelf, no matter what you buy. Delivery is fast and your actually helping the environment and economy.

Sold Me a Phone Reported as Stolen

Back Market Sold Me a Phone Reported as Stolen

I purchased an iPhone from Back Market because I needed a reliable replacement quickly. When I took it to AT&T for activation, I was told the phone had been reported stolen, was blacklisted, and could not be activated.

I then spent more than two weeks repeatedly contacting customer service, providing proof of the problem, and waiting through Back Market’s return process. At one point, they even game me Android troubleshooting instructions for the iPhone. The burden fell entirely on me to discover why it was blocked, prove it, return the device, repeatedly follow up, and wait weeks for a resolution.

Back Market showed a frustrating lack of ownership once the problem was confirmed. Rather than taking responsibility, the company repeatedly pointed to the third-party seller, avoided providing a clear resolution, and said it was waiting for the seller’s response.

Despite the seriousness of selling a customer a device reported as stolen, Back Market offered no expedited replacement or meaningful assistance beyond finally issuing a refund after repeated back-and-forth. After letting them know my displeasure they only then offered an insignificant credit (5 %) towards future purchases that did not fully address the inconvenience.

Back Market simply closed the matter as “resolved.”

Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Back Market. Buyers should seriously consider the risk of receiving a blacklisted or unusable device and then being subjected to a slow, inflexible return process and unsatisfactory customer service. Ultimately, I was left with nothing but delay, inconvenience, and disappointment.

HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE: DONT BUY FROM BACKMARKET

I have bought from backmarket twice. The first time went very well as I bought an IPhone that worked perfectly fine, however, the second time, I bought a MacBook became a nightmarish experience. I bought from a seller with over 4.2 star reviews so I thought everything would go well.
I mostly used this MacBook during the summertime due to me being a student, but after that period the absolute HELL began. There was the constant glitching of the touch bar and the horrible battery life that made me initially contact customer support during my warranty in march of this year. I bought the computer in June of last year so the warranty was still applicable at this point. During that period of a glitchy touch bar on a computer I barley used, I reset my mac password and miraculously the glitching stopped. Me being a student, I stopped the return process because it would've been very difficult to oversee when I am constantly moving from school to home.
Then, fast forward to now, July, when I try to charge my macbook that I have so far only used once this summer for an event, nothing. I leave it overnight: nothing. The screen is completely black and when I try to power on, it does not work. Now, I do realize that my warranty is about one month expired so I contact the customer service anyway and get met with very minimal solutions for a computer I played over $600 for. They offered me 10% off another purchase from them, 15% off of a repair service, and a trade in offer where I would get $71 back. Honestly, this felt like a spit in the face after the hell I went through with this computer.
Though I realize my warranty expired, I barely used this computer and did everything in my power to keep it in pristine condition. No water damage, no heavy items on top of it, no humid areas. It was always kept in an insulating, cool sleeve. The responses from the customer service, specifically, Lucy, were honestly dismissive of the trials and tribulations I've had to go through with this computer and this company so far. I talked with a representative on the phone who was very understanding ( I had to go through multiple searches and FINALLY found their number on a Yelp website) and am patiently waiting for my case to be reviewed so hopefully there will be an exception because I barely got to use this supposed "Excellent" macbook, before it became faulty. WILL UPDATE SOON!!

Hi Aiyana, I'm so sorry to hear that your experience with this order didn't go as expected. I'm also sorry to hear that you haven't felt heard or assisted by the options offered to you by our customer service agents! Would you be able to share the order number so that we can take a look for you?

Highly Recommend

I high recommend Back Market. They have a wide selection of products. Their website allows you to input exactly that for which you are searching. Ordering and paying for the order are easy to complete. The item I ordered was packed well for shipping and arrived in the time expected and in excellent condition. Our family uses Back Market because their products are excellent, are backed up with a guarantee, and are reasonably priced.

Got a Z fold 6 at an amazing price that even the cellular company I took it to confirmed it was a great deal! This is the second phone I have purchased for my wife and myself and it is the only way I will buy phones from now on! Great Job Back Market!

"Good" quality is better than expected

I was really surprised by the good quality my Macbook M2 (2022) came in, even though I chose 'Good" expecting the chassis to have more chipping and other flaws. Additionally, I was able to afford a laptop with 16g of RAM and 1T of storage under $700 due to Back Markets discounts. The specs were great for the price. The only downside was the low battery health. Otherwise, it was worth the purchase.

I highly recommend them!

I’ve ordered four phones from them in total and always had a good experience. I only had one small issue with a device and they made the return process super easy. Their customer service is top notch. I also appreciate how they’re upfront about which company they work with is sending your phone so you can check their reviews before ordering. Each device I’ve gotten is in flawless condition (even if I didn’t order it in flawless) and had great battery health. I highly recommend Back Market!

Like new but so much better

BackMarket sells reliably good phones at great prices. I've purchased several phones from them over the years and never once regretted a purchase. Every time, I feel like I'm getting away with something because the quality is so good and the price is even better.
