I ordered my Galaxy S21 5G from Backmarket after a recommendation from a rep at a local battery shop. My other Samsung was having numerous issues but a brand new phone was not an option. Luckily, I had jotted down the info and looked up Backmarket that same night and was impressed with the reviews. It was easy to order and arrived as promised. It sat on my side table for a couple of weeks as I was unsure if I could do the set up myself. Thank goodness for You Tube! Tech savvy I am not. But I do know how to follow directions and save for a couple of little hiccups, I was up and running in an hour. So far, so good and I would recommend Backmarket to anyone looking to upgrade for a lot less.

Arrived quickly and well packaged. I appreciate that you guys have a page to help with transferring info from old devices to new ones, so it was super easy to switch my phone over. I'm so happy I found this company - I prefer buying refurbished and used things, especially when they work perfectly fine. Very affordable too.
