Item arrived safely. Noticed two things 1) European style power cord supplied, should have been a UK style power cord (for Ireland) 2) The keyboard on the laptop has a US English layout rather than... See more

The phone was as described and condition was as expected and as ordered. The packaging was poor, and as the phone was a Christmas gift I had to obtain additional packaging to make more presentable. A... See more

Ordered an iPhone 13 mini in excellent condition and with a new battery. After I paid I noticed on the invoice that there is no mention of a new battery. So now I’m wondering if it will come with a new battery or not. So I decided to contact customer care and this is where the trouble started. I have found it impossible to send an email or get a customer care phone number so I can’t communicate to anyone about my order. Anyway I have a screenshot of everything that was ordered and the price and what I should receive so if I don’t get what I paid for it will be going straight back although I’m worried now about the returns process considering how hard it is to communicate with them.
Update- so I managed to contact customer care through the app, telling them I wanted to cancel my order before it was dispatched as I was worried about the particular seller and that sellers recent reviews and tbf I had a message later as that they cancelled the order for me and refunded me my money and by the end of the next day I can see the money provisionally back in my account. I’m delighted with this and consider this excellent customer care so only fair to update this review and give 5stars based on this experience.

This is the shittiest company i I’ve ever had the displeasure to order from they are filled with the dumbest individuals and sellers that grazed the surface of this planet . Do not and I mean do not use their service , if they don’t crap on your order the first time they will eventually, screw these people and I wish them the worst .

Everything Good!

The ipad arrived in perfect condition, well packaged. It was as promised, or even better. 6 days delivery, free. 12 month warranty and 30 day money back promise, it couldn't have been better. I don't think I'll ever buy new tech again!

Excellent service, highly recommend

Excellent service. Bought an Apple Watch; it was immaculate with very good quality packaging. Arrived in Ireland within 2 days. Delighted with my purchase, will certainly use Back Market again, I’d highly recommend.
