### 3/5 — 50/50

*2026-08-19, version 5.64*

First buy was good after a year second buy was like buying from a  corner shop their online help service , poor feels like a chat boot no solutions only trying to close the case and answering once every 24 for hrs.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy from here

*2026-08-18, version 5.66*

Bought a cell phone that died after 8 months. I couldn’t remove the iPhone from “find my” on my account. They had to email the seller that sold me the faulty phone and make me wait two days to see if I could ship back after spending $500+ on my purchase. The customer service and return process is absolutely terrible. I will never shop here again. Issue has been submitted to better business bureau.

### 1/5 — Lies to you

*2026-08-18, version 5.66*

Downloaded and first night and app offered me $20 off purchase ($500 total). Clicked on it and it went away and offered me full price. CS called me liar and said they’d only honor it if I had taken a photo before clicking on the notification (who does that!)

### 1/5 — What’s the point?

*2026-08-14, version 5.65*

I paid £5  for the faster delivery it never made any difference to my order arriving an quicker, what is the point?

### 1/5 — I’m very disappointed with Back Market.

*2026-08-13, version 5.64*

I’m very disappointed with Back Market.

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S21 that was advertised as being in “Good” condition, but the phone arrived with several deep scratches and was in much worse condition than described.

I left an honest review and uploaded photos showing the actual condition of the phone I received. The photos were directly related to my order and contained nothing inappropriate, personal, offensive, or unrelated.

Back Market removed my review photos anyway.

Customers should be allowed to share honest feedback and photos showing the actual condition of the products they receive. Removing legitimate evidence from a customer review makes the review system feel misleading and unfair.

I hope Back Market reviews this issue and restores my photos. Customers deserve transparency when buying refurbished products.

### 5/5 — Purchased several phones that turned out amazing

*2026-08-13, version 5.64*

I’ve bought at least 5 phones through Back Market and they’ve all been phenomenal. They’ve all worked out great

### 4/5 — Mac refurbished central.

*2026-08-11, version 5.64*

The best site for MacBooks refurbished. And if you go on any of the MacBook aggregators, Back Market tends to be the lowest price every time.
I still wish I could get some more personal advice to make my final decision or to help me make my decision. I’m not a tech person, but I do know the specs that are required for my daughter’s grad school program. And I wish I had bought every computer from here.  Since 2020 pandemic then 4 years of undergrad for 2 irish twins has been an expensive undertaking. 
I literally have a storage box with approximately eight obsolete laptops in it. It’s been a crazy time. And people need advice when buying. Everybody’s so afraid of buying the wrong thing. Because everything is so expensive.
but still every used or refurbished computer aggregator will bring me back to this site!. Simply the best.

### 5/5 — Moha

### 1/5 — It’s a gamble

*2026-08-26, version 5.67*

Got 2 phones from BackMarket. The first one works as a backup (battery isn’t the best). The other boots up, then heats up and shuts down on its own. 1 year warranty? Sure, I sent it in for repair. No luck it came back the way it was. Waste of time and money. I wouldn’t buy from BackMarket again.

### 1/5 — Device sucks it’s overheating while charging and not turning on

*2026-08-25, version 5.67*

Device sucks it’s overheating while charging and not turning on

### 1/5 — Great service, bad Experience

*2026-08-25, version 5.67*

Great machine was delivered for price and content was at first glance as expected.  Then I am having trouble with iCloud the device may not have been removed completely from the original owner. I am possibly going to ask for a refund or replacement device. Will update this review to 5 stars on resolution.

### 1/5 — Be careful

*2026-08-23, version 5.64*

I have no subscriptions at all with Back Market, but they've been charging to my card $5.99 every month for no reason.

### 1/5 — No promo codes at all

*2026-08-23, version 5.66*

This company never sent any promo codes to their customers we buy devices. But never sent promo codes. Shame this company !!they trying to make more money making the priors costumers buying at regular prices

### 1/5 — Trade in

*2026-08-22, version 5.66*

I experienced Terrible service with the Trade-In of My Device (PS4 Pro Console)… Which was wrongfully inspected by Refurbisher by the Name of KOALA STASH…
My Device was shipped in Great Functional Condition, and was disgarded by the return refurbisher whom did not commit to the offer that was initiated… When I tried to reach out to Customer Care , they did not assist and was Very Dismissive..
In the End, I was paid Literally Nothing for my Console ($1), and when I protested they disregarded me, despite being a Customer that recently just Patronized the Business..

I expected Better treatment as a loyal Customer

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2026-08-22, version 5.64*

Good app, ok company. Abysmal customer service.

### 1/5 — Contacting customer service is impossible

*2026-08-21, version 5.64*

Can’t get logged in, the help just keeps me going around in circles without resolving anything.
Asked the simple question “how to contact customer service” its answer was a bot with 3 options , none of which were applicable.
Tried various other ways to get help and just kept getting the same thing. Absolutely useless.

### 1/5 — phone

*2026-08-20, version 5.66*

useless support just use robots who just say the same thing over and over again

### 1/5 — Terrible service

*2026-08-19, version 5.65*

Can’t even update a shipping address the moment after an order is placed. Made me run around with FedEx for them to state the seller is the only one allowed to make changes and Back Market refused to help. Never use this app. Waste of time and money.
Update: thankfully Back Market reached out again  and told me to reach out to customer care- the ones that neglected to help me the first time. Unreal. Don’t use.

### 5/5 — Bought an IPhone 17 256g

*2026-08-25, version 5.67*

Got this phone came in like 3-5 days very fast, bought it in good condition turns out it came flawless. Even came with a free case and charger. The only thing which would be nice if they added the original Apple box but otherwise 10/10 would defo recommend.

### 5/5 — iPhone order and delivery

Just received my new ( refurbished) iPhone from Back Market and I am not disappointed, I went for the excellent option and the phone is flawless also included was a fitted screen protector and a good phone case and twelve months warranty. I fully recommend this new and upcoming firm.
