Verified purchaseVery happy with the phone. I was concerned about buying a refurbished phone but it looks brand new and works excellently. The price was great and delivery time, excellent. Would buy from Back Market again and definitely recommend them.

Verified purchaseGood value for money. Love that the phones are repurposed. They are great phones. I had to buy a better charger but that was no problem. The phone shop were amazed at the bargain I got for my Samsung. Keep up the good work Back Market!

Verified purchaseThe process of buying a phone on black market was so easy when I needed a phone quickly. The price was much better than other places and was able to get a better phone for less. I will definitely be back.

Verified purchaseI got the premium option for a very good discount, the phone is still in amazing condition, and it looks so good and brand new it's baffling, my only issue was that when I ordered for the phone to be blue, I got it in black, which was kinda disappointed, but overall the phone is still good and I'm happy with it.

Verified purchaseGood service, I ordered the purple, but received a call (an 02 number) saying they were no longer available but had 3 other colours to choose from so I went with black. Phone is in amazing condition, works perfectly. Overall I'd def buy from here again & recommend the site to any family & friends. Great for circular economy thinkers who follow the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle.
