Customer service response from Back Market was very quick when I queried the item delivery delay (due to the Royal Mail Christmas service). The parcel was well-packaged with bubble wrap and the iPad Mini 6 was in its original box along with a charger, USB C cable and Apple leaflet. The iPad itself is in absolutely mint condition with no scratches or dents to the screen or casing. I’m unable to check the battery health percentage as it’s an iPad but can confirm that the battery holds its charge for around 3-4 days with average use which is excellent. Overall, I am extremely happy with my iPad and would definitely recommend the seller to family and friends.
Condition
Almost no signs of wear. The body may have very light micro-scratches. For items with screens, the screen will have no scratches.

I was actually amazed at the condition of the iPad mini 6 I purchased. I assumed it would have some slightly marks or wear and tear but it looked like it had been taken straight out of the box. I’d definitely buy from this site again.

Bought an iPad mini 6 for my partner for his bday. He absolutely loves it. Looks brand new to me. Wasn't a single scratch or mark on it. Due to it being refurbished it also meant for the price I could get a significantly higher memory capacity than if I bought new so really happy. He loves it. I'll be buying my next phone from here. Good service, fast delivery, great product.

Overall experience fine, delivery was quick. iPad functions good, some very small scratches on edge of display and a small ding on the metal right side near apple pen charging area. Rest of the iPad is ok so far. Bizarrely came with 2 aftermarket charging plug adapters and 1 cable. I think this should not have been listed as "excellent condition" but "good condition" due to the scratches on display and ding on edge. If there is any chance of compensation for this issue then much would be appreciated. You would expect "Excellent condition" to be pristine wouldn't you?
