There’s this crazy question that’s been floating around the interwebs: is Back Market legit? Let’s help you find an answer to that.
Yes, Back Market is Very Legit
When Back Market was founded in 2014, the goal was to make new tech obsolete. It’s not that we don’t like new iPhone, iPad, laptops, etc… it’s just that their refurbished counterparts are cheaper, better for the environment—and if you purchase them from us—just as reliable.
When we were first starting out, we noticed a few key problems with the refurbished marketplace. First of all, most vendors had no clear quality standards, and it was hard to know the condition of what was being sold. We fixed this by creating a quality charter that defines what kind of tests refurbishers need to perform before selling you a product, in addition to mandating quality grades so that you know exactly how your refurbished product will look like before you get it in the mail.
If you look on our website, you’ll see that products have grades like “Mint” or “Good” to let you know the external shape of the device. Some products even have longer quality descriptions that let you know if the product is an “open-box” item that was barely used, or if it has any notable dings/scratches that you should be aware of before buying. Before Back Market, the word “refurbished” brought about this notion: I want a cheap [name of tech gadget here], but I don’t really know what quality I’m going to get if I buy it refurbished.
We made it our mission to make the refurbished marketplace more transparent—we don’t believe that buying refurbished products should be like a guessing game. With Back Market, you know exactly how your product is going to look before you get it in the mail. Awesome, huh?
