I’ve ordered the MacBook this Wednesday and it arrived the next day. Shipping was extremely fast, I assumed it was going to take a while to arrive but not at all. This MacBook is in fair condition which is how I bought it and there are some minor scratches here and there but not visible at all. It appears as an all brand new MacBook which makes me love it so much. Thank you Back Market!!! You’ve earned a customers heart and trust!!

Honestly it’s a good buy. The price was just right. I was just needing a inbetween MacBook until I save up a bit for an m4 MacBook. The left shift key was stuck when I got it but some canned air fixed it right up.
