The launch of the new iPhone is approaching and surely there are many users who are already thinking of acquiring one of the new models that the apple company will present. This means that thousands of older models, both iPhone and Android, will be left without use.
Couldn't these devices get a second chance? To give it there are web pages such as Back Market, a platform of reconditioned technological products that seeks to offer users a way to get the mobile they really want at a much lower price and, incidentally, saves electronic waste on the planet.
In Back Market we can find reconditioned iPhones, but also devices from other brands such as Xiaomi, Huawei or Samsung. In addition, they are not limited to mobiles, they also have computers, tablets, televisions and even appliances. Let's see what Back Market offers and how it works.
What is Back Market?
Back Market is a marketplace, that is, an online sales platform in which vendors and reconditioners are selected, with a demanding process of testing and quality control. Therefore, Back Market is not a reconditioning shop nor does it have a warehouse for reconditioned products in stock.
On the Back Market website we will be able to easily and conveniently find hundreds of reconditioned products of very different categories. We have everything from tablets and mobiles to computers, through headphones, accessories and even televisions and audio equipment.
If you like Apple, in Back Market you will find several models of iPhone, iPad, Mac and even Apple Watch with a groundbreaking price. For example, you can buy the iPhone X, a device that still has a lot of life ahead of it, from 480 euros.
All the devices on the platform go through certified professionals, who fine-tune them before launching them with the quality of a new product, but at a better price and saving electronic waste on the planet. And do not think that in Back Market they sell very old devices, on the contrary, they have the latest models on the market but with a more attractive price. Buying in Back Market we can save up to 70% of the price of new models.
What advantages does Back Market offer us?
The objective of Back Market is that we can enjoy a reconditioned device with the same guarantees as if we bought it new. To achieve this, they have very strict standards, great quality control, very beneficial conditions and first-rate customer service.
The first advantage that we are going to find compared to a regular store is, as you can imagine, the price. Back Market products are 30-70% cheaper than the same new equivalent models. For example, we can find an iPhone XR with a price that starts at 450 euros, while Apple is sold with an official price of 710 euros.
Here you have another example. Surely there are many users who opt for a cheaper Android device because their budget does not reach the price of the new iPhone. Well, you should know that in Back Market you can get an iPhone 8 or an iPhone 8 Plus with a price that starts from 250 euros and 366 euros respectively. Almost nothing!
Another advantage is that we will not have to worry about the quality of the device. Back Market has 1,000 reconditioners who are certified professionals and who are constantly monitored by the company. It subjects them to trial periods, quality controls and guides them so that their work is perfect. They are so demanding that only 1 in 3 sellers who request it manage to sell on the Back Market.
Even so, each product on the platform has a 2-year and 30-day withdrawal guarantee to change your mind. In Back Market we can see the status of the product clearly explained, but if the product you receive does not convince you, you can request a return.
Back Market also offers us many payment facilities. We can finance the purchase with an installment payment in 3 or 4 installments. We can also pay safely by card or with even more reliable means such as Paypal. The store's payment server guarantees maximum security in the transaction.
Last but not least, if we choose to purchase a reconditioned product we will not only be helping our portfolio, but also the planet thanks to saving waste. Since its creation, Back Market has prevented 1,700 tons of electronic waste from being dumped onto the planet and the waste of 72 mega tons of raw materials.
In short, Back Market offers us the possibility of getting the mobile that we really wanted to buy at a much more attractive price. And on top of that, we can help save the planet, what else does it take to go over to refurbished?
