    Delivery was speedy and well-packaged. The iPhone 13 is great - exactly what we were looking for (at a great price too!). Battery health 88% 👌 Good condition as described: 1 mark on casing (can’t see once cover is on), couple of fairly insignificant marks on screen. Did need to give it a bit of a clean on arrival. Overall happy with service.

    I needed to get a new phone. For cost and environmental reasons I looked at a refurbished pre owned. Chose the model I wanted to upgrade to, then it was just a case of deciding on the memory and condition of the phone. I chose ‘Fair’ Condition because the difference in price between fair and immaculate was £200. My phone arrived quickly and in the time scale advised. The condition was much better than I had been expecting. Altogether I was delighted with my choice, the service, the price and delivery. A no brainer decision - win, win, win! Don’t dither - go for it.

    Great experience with Back Market. Everything went smoothly, phone arrived nearly packaged and in pristine condition. 91% battery and not a blemish on the case or screen. I could not have afforded this particular model, even at current market value from Apple, so I’m mightily impressed and pleased I decided to gamble on a refurbished phone. If you’re hesitant k don’t be!

    First time not buying from apple refurbished and do not regret it. Ordered “good” condition so was expecting some marks but it looks brand new. Not a single mark on the phone. Will 100% be using back market in the future.

    Great refurbished iPhone 12, fast delivery and a good price. As described in good condition with no marks to the screen, however I keep getting an alert in settings saying it may have a non apple battery. This isn’t an issue, just wish the red 1 would go off the settings app. Overall a good purchase and would use this company again and recommend them.

    The Samsung Galaxy s21plus I purchased was as described "Excellent". As good as new as far as I can tell. Delivery was on time and the product was well packaged. Very happy with my dealings with Back Market. First time I have had a refurbished phone and I would certainly purchase my next one from Back Market.

    Great mostly . Item in very good order etc. However I cannot use WhatsApp using a local SIM card. What’s app recognises country I’m in but won’t recognise local sim number . It’s frustrating as I bought this phone to use as my back up phone . Otherwise all working well .

    A change to Apple so not yet competent but otherwise as described or better. A little disappointed that at just over 80% battery condition I dont believe this phone would deliver anything like a full day of use as even on mostly standby it only just makes it through the day. Is this model heavy on its battery in which case is 80% a break point? I should maybe have bought a new battery?
