Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 192 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers are consistently pleased with the quality of the products, often finding them in excellent or like-new condition, even at significantly reduced prices. The delivery service is frequently highlighted as fast and efficient, with many appreciating the prompt updates and secure packaging. Reviewers also praise the excellent service and affordable prices, making it a highly recommended option for refurbished electronics. However, some customers reported receiving products that did not match the advertised condition, such as an Apple Watch described as 'Good' but appearing 'Fair' or having multiple scratches. There were also instances of defective items, including phones with major faults, screens going black, or incorrect models being delivered. A few people mentioned issues with battery health not meeting the advertised minimum capacity for premium devices, and some experienced slow customer service responses when trying to resolve these problems.

The watch arrived on time, for which I was grateful. It was in perfect condition and I am very happy with it, even though I’ve had it for nearly a year now. For this, they deserve five stars.... See more

Very quick and efficient in the packaging of the goods in question and keeping me of all the tracking data needed to follow up where and when the goods should arrive. And yes I would use this company again for further items as required here

No support. dont trust

No support. Delivery is late and STILL not arrived despite paying for express delivery.
No way to contact but wait for support to reply. Still waiting on my $1200 Macbook Air. I wish had read the reviews on the other websites before giving them my money.

Reply from Back Market - Australia

Hi Cheyney,

I’m sorry you have been frustrated with the delivery of your Macbook. I understand waiting for a high-value item like a MacBook can be stressful, particularly when you're expecting it by a specific date.

For laptop items, our sellers have up to 2 business days to prepare and ship orders, as outlined during checkout. Our initial delivery estimate was 6 - 9 March. I can see that the item has now been delivered to you today, 12 March, and that we have refunded your express shipping fee.

We appreciate your patience and apologise again for the delay.

Cheers,

Back Market Australia Customer Care

Phone is great

Phone is great; But the colour is not 'PURPLE' as described. To me it looks like 'PINK'. Samsung actually call it 'LAVENDER'. It is a very pale insiped light colour. NOT the rich vibrant dark 'Royal' colour I was expecting.The sellers should change the name.

The iPhone 11 arrived quickly

The phone arrived quickly, it was a good affordable price but of course does not come with any extras, just the phone. One corner of the parcel was crushed but the bubble wrap around the phone saved it and it was unharmed. The phone is refurbished but works very well and the battery is excellent. I am pleased with this phone, no problems so far

My iPhone 15pro max is great

My iPhone 15pro max is great. Works like new. Only thing that I was a bit disappointed with. Was I asked for a new battery and paid extra. Not sure if the happened or not, as there was no reference to this. But otherwise I would definitely recommend.

I was Looking for a descent phone for my daughter that started High school and didn’t want to take a contract with a service provider so by Facebook I found Backmarket, read a bit of the rewiews and took the risk, and thankfully I had a great experience with my acquisition of an iPhone 13 Pro refurbished at a great price, very much as a new phone for a quarter of the price.

I am happy with my purchase. The delivery time took longer than indicated. Luckily, I had another phone to use in the interim, otherwise this delay would have been an issue.
