With BackMarket, this process is genuinely the best possible outcome. I initially ordered the iPad and I received one that had the previous owner’s name customised on it. I raised the issue with back market and they immediately offered a refund or replacement. I requested a refund and immediately ordered another one. With the new one I received, it’s literally perfect. It came very very clean, well packaged and with a free full charger, not just a cord. I’m very pleased with it and would 100% recommend and they have the interest of the customers as a priority.

I bought the iPad pro 12.9" as a birthday present for my wife who's been struggling with her old 9" iPad. This refurbished 5th Gen machine is brilliant, we can find no faults with it so far. While still not cheap it was a considerable saving on a new one or even a refurb directly from Apple. Backmarket got it to me in a couple of days and a happy wife means a happy household.

I have ordered this Ipad pro 5th generation and it's perfect. it says fair condition but I can barely see any defects or scrathes from use. it is basically like a new Ipad. I'm really happy with the tablet, adding 1 tb of memory is very useful if you require it for work and graphic design use. The chip is extremely fast and the ipad speaker is incredibly good, it sounds like a tiny tv screen.

I recently ordered an iPad and Apple Pencil from Back Market, and I couldn't be happier! Both arrived in excellent condition — they look and work like brand new. The performance is flawless, and the Apple Pencil pairs perfectly, making it ideal for both work and creativity. What really stood out to me was the exceptional customer service. From the moment I placed my order to the fast delivery and helpful updates, the experience was smooth and reassuring. It's clear that Back Market truly cares about their customers and stands by the quality of their products. I'm beyond satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend Back Market to anyone considering buying refurbished tech. You’ve definitely earned a loyal customer! 🙌

I'm actually really surprised at this. I thought I'd give this service a go (they have a good returns policy too) and see what I could get for the money. It came in at a cost I couldn't resist and I'm glad I made the purchase. The condition is "fair" - just a few scratches on the back and a small dent, nothing that can't be disguised by a case which I'd be putting on anyway. The screen works perfectly and haven't had any issues. The QC seems absolutely fine for these pre-owned/refurbished models. If you're on the fence I'd make the leap. My particular iPad got delivered the next day as well, very happy with that.

The iPad arrived sooner than initially advised which was great. The condition of the device was amazing. The battery health was 95%! If I ever need a refurbished product, I will definitely consider using Back Market again.

the first ipad i received did not meet the grade specification but back market and the refurbisher sorted it out in a timely manner and i am very happy with my replacement device! highly recommend using back market as their customer service is amazing in my experience! delivery is quick, returns are quick, decisions on whether the refurbisher will repair/replace/refund are quick! great service throughout my experience, everything is explained well and is very understandable which is important for me as an autistic person! it’s also great because you save so much money while also saving the environment and saying no to modern slavery while also getting a quality device that is practically new!
