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

Concerning scam behaviour

I purchased an S23 Ultra. Turned out the phone i ordered was a US spec version, this means that it will not recieve software updates unless done manually by a professional and be more buggy/unreliable when connecting to EU networks. Overall disappointed by the lack of transparency, i was able to figure this out because i am familar with this sort of thing but for anyone else by the time they figure it out the return and refund window will have long since passed. I intend to replace with an EU version or refund in full.

Warranty not honoured and…

Warranty was not honoured and responsibility avoided citing consumer-caused damage. The return process was mishandled, with broken chain of custody. Back Market refused to accept accountability and did not meet EU consumer protection standards.

If something goes wrong, you won't get help.

I bought a refurbished laptop from this company, for my company. Having a ".ie" I wasn't sure if they were an Irish registered company (they are not). Before I purchased, I asked them if I get a VAT invoice with an Irish VAT number and they confirmed that I do (I didn't) so I cannot now reclaim the VAT. This company are really just a middleman, Appimac are the company that supply, and back market completely wash their hands of responsibility and expect you to resolve with a third party. They have no phone number to contact. Their replies are generic and totally contradictory. After 2 months of trying to get my money back, I now have to gather all the information and open a VISA claim. You'll probably read a generic reply from them on how they aim to provide the best service and they are sorry that I experienced an problem blah blah blah. Don't be fooled. If something goes wrong, you won't get help.
