Is Back Market a reliable website? Can Back Market be trusted? Are the items sold of good quality? What is the meaning of life? Are we alone in the universe? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? So many questions so little time. But we'll try to answer (at least the vital ones) here.

I am profoundly grateful to have received my Samsung Galaxy A42 5G 128GB in Black, arriving in pristine condition—its screen unmarred, battery fully optimized, casing immaculate, and all ports, buttons, and camera lenses functioning flawlessly upon meticulous inspection. Back Market’s exemplary customer support representatives, Anna and Kat, resolved every concern with unparalleled care and attentiveness, particularly as a disabled customer deserving of such tailored service. It is earnestly hoped that Back Market will offer protective phone covers tailored for refurbished devices.

Device came in on time with the scheduled delivery date, I got the excellent condition with this watch and it is spotless, no scratches or defective parts. The device came with 84% battery health, but it still lasts over 24 hours. This product is amazing for the price, would 100% recommend to others. Upgrading this from an Apple Watch Series 7 was like night and day difference.

The order process was smooth and easy as was payment. The shipping was very fast and I was kept up to date on when to expect the package. The unit was packed well but without too much waste. And the laptop was in better condition than I expected given the listing of Fair. Unit was ready to set up Windows and functioning as it should. I installed Linux instead of Windows and am very pleased with the results. I've recommend to a colleague that this is the way to order a "new" laptop. I've had an extremely positive experience.

I recently purchased a refurbished Apple Watch Ultra 2 and I'm genuinely impressed—it's been an excellent buy! The watch arrived in very good condition overall. The titanium case looks sharp with no noticeable scratches or dents, the crystal-clear display is pristine, and both the Digital Crown and side button feel smooth and responsive, just like new. The whole unit gives off that premium, rugged Ultra vibe without any signs of heavy prior use. What really stands out is the battery health at 97%—that's outstanding for a refurbished unit! It easily lasts a full day (and often into the next) with heavy GPS tracking, workouts, notifications, and always-on display enabled. The only minor suggestion I'd make to the reseller is to include information about whether the previous owner was a smoker or non-smoker. Even though this particular watch has zero odor or residue issues (it smells completely clean and fresh), knowing that detail upfront would help buyers who are extra sensitive to any potential lingering smells make a more confident choice. Overall, highly recommended! If you're looking for a top-tier rugged smartwatch at a better price point without sacrificing much (if any) performance or condition, this refurbished Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a fantastic option. Great value and I'm thrilled with it. 5 stars!

I was very skeptical about making a big purchase on something like this on here because I saw mixed reviews but more recently I was seeing nothing but good reviews so I took leap of faith and made the purchase. I couldn’t be more happy with my iMac, it came in excellent condition as stated with Apple certified refurbished it looks brand new and works as good as new. Would definitely recommend!!

I was really surprised at the condition this item was in for being rated "fair". It had a couple 1-inch cosmetic scratches (see pic), and that was the only thing I could reckon caused such a low rating. The battery was 88%, 78 cycles, the screen was pristine, the keyboard was perfect, the corners were not impacted at all. Considering the ~50% savings on a < 3-yr-old silicon Mac, I added a $20 thin case and I couldn't be happier. This was clearly a corporate computer as it even had a few months of enterprise Apple Care remaining. I almost didn't leave all this info since I'm afraid this awesome of a deal is likely exceptional and shouldn't be a typical expectation for "fair". But that is my experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely flawless — feels brand new! I was a little hesitant to buy a refurbished Apple Watch, but Back Market completely blew me away. I ordered the Apple Watch SE 3, and honestly, if it didn't come in a generic box, I would have sworn it came straight from Apple. The screen is pristine, the battery health is excellent, and it functions perfectly. Saving a chunk of cash while getting a device that looks and operates like it's brand new is a massive win. Shipping was fast and the packaging was super secure. I'm officially hooked on buying refurbished now. Highly recommend!

The M2 MacBook Air I got was a lot better than I expected for being "fair condition". It only has a couple of small chips and scratches on the external panels, and the screen looks almost brand new. It runs as well as I expected, so this was an amazing deal!

Package arrived on time and with very little if any visible scratches on the body. Display and keyboard work fantastically well with no issues whatsoever. Battery health came in at 89-90% which isn’t an issue for me since i keep mine on the charger unless i’m on the go all day. Performance is buttery smooth as expected of the M1 Pro Chip. An overall amazing purchase that i would highly recommend to anyone upgrading from the 13 inch M1 or lower.

The watch arrived quickly and was packaged well. After inspecting it, I found only one tiny cosmetic imperfection that was barely noticeable, which was impressive considering it was listed in excellent condition. My biggest concern was the battery life since it was a refurbished device, but it exceeded my expectations. I was able to get about 2½ days of use on a single charge, compared to Apple’s advertised 36 hours. Overall, I’m very happy with the watch and the money I saved. The included watch band was an aftermarket band, but it was surprisingly decent and exactly what I expected for a refurbished purchase.

So far I've had an exceptional experience with Back Market and Omaha Blue. Like other reviewers, I was somewhat hesitant to purchase a refurbished machine, but the no-hassle return policy, included 1-year warranty, and reputation of Omaha Blue nudged me to give it a shot. I got the exact spec machine that I was looking for. Due to my budget, I opted for Fair condition. Many other reviewers had indicated that their "Fair" devices arrived in great shape. This was my experience as well. Couple of very minor scratches, otherwise exterior looks largely like new. Screen is immaculate. Keyboard is in fantastic shape - minimal shine on some of the keys (completely acceptable for a 2021 device). Battery at 90% with only 346 cycles. Just for good measure, I ran all system diagnostics and everything came up green. I've been using this machine for roughly three weeks and so far, it has performed flawlessly. Will definitely return to Back Market and Omaha Blue for future MacBook purchases.

The device came ready for me to set up, transferring data from my old Mac was easy. It didn’t come with the box if that’s something you’re worried about, I didn’t really care so it’s fine. I bought it for school and while I haven’t started yet, it has been working flawlessly so far with everything else. in the past I had issues buying refurbished laptops. Problems with battery… damage.. etc. but this one is perfect and like new. I would happily repurchase from this particular seller knowing I can trust their products to be good <3

It works incredibly. The shipping was fast (got it in 2 days). This is my 1st mac and I'm so glad it was refurbished, I feel like I'm doing something for the planet while I'm getting an excellent devise. The screen and body have no scratches at all making it feel like an actual brand-new item. The only little flaw is some dust within the keyboard keys that I will need a compressed air duster to clean up.
