I purchased the ‘fair condition’ version of the 2017 MacBook Pro last week and was so incredibly happy with the product I received! Despite the minor and hardly noticeable signs of use, the laptop looks, feels and operates like it’s practically new. Additionally, the quality of service and updates from the back market team was also very helpful and helped put my mind at ease. I find it very hard to source a reliable and efficient second hand technology store without feeling some sense of dread, but back market definitely rose to the challenge and surpassed my expectations. It also arrived earlier than anticipated - so a definite plus. Will definitely be coming back here again in the future.

The device was in very good condition. No marks at all. The charging cable is old and bent a bit at the connection point but it still works so it's no drama. Everything went smoothly, from the order process, to delivery, to setting everything up. Thank you!

I’m so so happy with my purchase and the product received! I can say that besides being a little bit “dirty” in some keys (I cleaned it easily) this computer is in a PERFECT condition! Works amazingly and I have 0 complaints so far (I’ll keep using it and see how it goes). Only detail is that it came with the Apple adaptor but NOT with the original Apple cable (and can cause issues when charging) so, have that in consideration and maybe buy the original cable so you can avoid any inconvenience 🤍. I’ll absolutely use BackMarket again, this is an absolute goldmine!

Everything was good. The item was received in good time and everything works well. I was a bit wary of purchasing a refurbished unit, but all is good.

Absolutely appalled by Back Market’s service. Ordered a laptop and soon enough the device arrived. Upon arrival, the laptop was not functional and I wasn’t able to even set up the device due to a nonfunctional keypad. I notified Back Market and followed the instructions to send it back and wait for a replacement or refund. Soon enough, I was notified that the laptop was water damaged and because of this I would not receive a refund nor a replacement. I argued this of course and was thankfully fully refunded. Never ordering from this place again and I encourage you all to do the same!!
