    As far as ordering on the internet is concerned, it's perfect, but delivery is horrible because I received the parcel in a small box that had been opened as if it had been searched, and I find that unacceptable. It should be much better packaged so that it cannot be opened.

    Galaxy A5 2016, for me, in very good condition although sold in "fair condition". (just a micro-scratch on the screen, barely visible). The battery life is very good. Unbeatable price... More than satisfied. This is my 3rd purchase from Backmarket and I have never been disappointed.
