4 questions people always askHow does Back Market guarantee quality?
From a pre-listing screening process for all sellers to “mystery orders” placed by Back Market’s Innovation Lab, we give 110% in making sure the Verified Refurbished tech we offer you is top-notch. It’s also why every device comes with a 1-year warranty and 30 days to change your mind.
What’s the difference between refurbished and new?
On the outside, a refurbished smartphone looks and works like new. But it’s what's on the inside that really counts. Reborn tech helps keep e-waste out of our landfills, water, and air.
Can you help me recycle my old phone or other electronics?
We can do you one better — give you cash with Trade-In. You can get an offer in minutes from a refurbisher to trade in your old device. To make it extra juicy, we also cover the cost of shipping.
Was the T-800 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) technically “refurbished”?
Most likely. We’d need to hand Skynet over to our Innovation Lab before we say yes or no, but we have a hunch that it’s an “I’ll be back” scenario.
