Highly recommend

I have ordered two items now from Back Market over the years, a galaxy phone and a galaxy fit watch. Both were in excellent condition and work like new. I forget that they were even used. Amazing website, feels like I'm doing my bit for the planet and saves me lots of money compared to buying new. Highly recommend.

Quick and easy

So easy and stress free to order from. Quick delivery and peace of mind to return if everything isnt as described or is faulty. The only downside is trying to cancel insurance with back market is near impossible.

Bought a iPhone 15 Pro and the first one delivered had a warped screen and wasn’t in the condition stated. Requested a replacement and it was accepted and delivered next day. Great customer service and replacement service. Replacement phone works amazing, just like new!

Excellent service

Excellent service. The phone was exactly as described, with quick and secure delivery. The trade in option was good too- they actually paid what has been agreed at the start; there was no attempt to sorry change me with nonsense about damage etc like other companies have done. I'll absolutely use Back Market again for any tech i need in the future!
