“This company gives the false impression it is based in the U.K.
It is not based in the U.K.
it is based in France.
They give the false impression they are the sellers of the refurbished apple iPhone when in fact they punt off the sale to a third party who in my case were BEST4TECH.
I have paid nearly £400 for a phone that has not arrived.
As soon as I raised the fact of non delivery with Back Market I have been given the run around being told to fill in a form that asked me to provide a copy of my passport as photographic ID for any refund to be considered.
Should the iPhone arrive meantime I must take photos of it from all angles and pay £10 to print off the return label plus extra for postage for an item costing nearly £400!
A further rip off happens when at point of payment with credit card they take extra cash off you on top of the price of the item.
They are quick as a flash taking your money but don’t make it easy to get a FULL refund for non delivery of the item.
My item was to be delivered on 19 September 2022 and it’s now 26 September 2022 and nothing has appeared! They were quick enough to take nearly £400 off my credit card though.
I have now opened up a credit card dispute with the card issuing bank helping me recover ALL of my money back.
I advise others in a similar situation to do the same.”
“Do not buy from Back Market. They sell defective electronics and will not help you when to reach out for assistance. I bought a reconditioned Iphone 8 Plus from them which they advertised as in perfect working conditioned. I paid $35 to activate it and it had a broken speaker. I had to spend another $35 to reactivate my old phone. Back Market refused to repay me the $70 and refused to get the seller to repay me. Back Market and TekReplay are total scammers. From now on, I buy from Amazon. They sell working products and help you if there are any issues.”
“As long as the product you receive is in working order they are great. I have been trying to get a refund for over a month now.
SO BUYER BEWARE REFUNDS ARE NOT VERY EASY TO GET. I am still waiting. I have decided Amazon is the only way to go. They give refunds without having to continually email every day. Also Back Market does not have a phone number to call. As far as I can tell they have stolen $270. from me. Good luck if you buy there.”
“I had a horrible — borderline fraudulent — experience with Back Market that cost me hundreds of dollars and 7 days of lost productivity.
I ordered a 15.4-inch MacBook Pro (July, 2018) from Back Market. A third-party seller, Koala Stash, sent me a 13-inch. MacBook Pro by itself — not even a power cord. After I complained to Koala Stash, the seller said they had no 15.4-inch laptops in stock. My only options were to return the computer or accept an $80 partial refund.
I had to order a power cord separately, which took 2 days. To make matters worse, the laptop from Back Market wasn't even that cheap. I could have bought a similar one from Apple without the headaches.
I ignored some negative reviews of Back Market, and I regret it. :( I recommend that you take the negative reviews seriously.”
