Back Market Discount Codes in October 2026

What is the Purpl Back Market discount?

Back Market is an online marketplace specialising in professionally refurbished technology.

The Back Market range includes:

• Refurbished smartphones
• Laptops and MacBooks
• Tablets and iPads
• Smartwatches
• Headphones and audio equipment
• Games consoles
• Desktop computers and monitors
• Cameras
• Small household appliances

Products are inspected, tested and restored by professional refurbishers before being listed for sale. Back Market says devices may go through checks covering their battery, screen, cameras, buttons, ports, connectivity and other functions. Sellers are also monitored through customer reviews, inspections and quality testing.

Customers can choose between different cosmetic conditions. The condition describes how the device looks rather than how well it works, as every device should meet Back Market’s functional standards.

Back Market advertises refurbished technology for up to 70% less than the cost of buying new. Prices vary by product, model, storage, cosmetic condition and refurbisher.

Eligible Purpl members can access a verified Back Market discount for £10 off when they spend £250.

What can you use the Back Market code on?

The Purpl verification code is valid sitewide across all certified refurbished hardware tiers (Fair, Good, Excellent), making it ideal for saving on:

• Apple Ecosystems: Refurbished iPhone 14/15 series, iPads, and Apple Watch models.
• Computing & Laptops: Renewed MacBook Air/Pro units and Windows laptops.
• Gaming & Smart Tech: Next-gen video game consoles, headphones, and home electronics.

Why do disabled people choose Back Market?

Technology can be essential for independence, communication, work, education and managing everyday life. It can also be expensive, particularly when disabled people already face higher household costs.

Buying refurbished may make devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops more affordable. These products can support video appointments, accessible travel planning, medication reminders, speech-to-text tools, screen readers and communication with carers or support networks.

Back Market offers a broad choice of models and price points. This can help customers find devices with accessibility features that suit their needs without always paying the price of the newest version.

A refurbished tablet may provide a larger and clearer screen for someone with a visual impairment. A smartphone with voice control may support a person with limited dexterity, while noise-cancelling headphones can be useful for some neurodivergent people or those with sensory sensitivities.

The environmental benefits may also appeal to members who want to extend the life of existing technology. Reusing and refurbishing devices can help reduce electronic waste and the resources needed to manufacture new products.

Back Market does not provide specialist assessments of individual accessibility needs. Check that the device, operating system and model support the accessibility functions you require before ordering.

Delivery

Back Market currently advertises free delivery on its UK marketplace. The estimated delivery date is displayed on the product listing and during checkout.

Products are sold and shipped by individual professional refurbishers, so delivery times can vary between listings. Check the estimated arrival date before placing your order, particularly if you need the device urgently.

Returns and refunds

Back Market currently provides free returns within 30 days of delivery. This gives customers time to inspect and test their device and return it if they change their mind.

The device should be returned in the condition in which it was received, together with the supplied accessories. Remove personal accounts, passwords, SIM cards and memory cards before sending a device back.

Back up any important files before returning a phone, tablet or computer. Back Market or the refurbisher may need to erase the device while inspecting, repairing or processing the return.

Warranty

Products sold through Back Market currently include a minimum 12-month seller warranty. The warranty may cover technical faults and defects that arise during normal use, subject to its terms and exclusions.

Accidental damage, water damage, unauthorised repairs and problems caused by misuse may not be covered. Review the warranty conditions and any optional protection plan before purchasing.

Back Market operates the marketplace, but the individual professional refurbisher is normally the legal seller and provides the warranty for the device.

What should you know before buying from Back Market?

• Check the model name, release year and technical specifications carefully.
• Confirm that the device supports the accessibility features and apps you need.
• Check whether a phone is unlocked before ordering.
• Compare the cosmetic condition, price and seller rating across different listings.
• Remember that cosmetic grades describe appearance, not performance.
• Look at what accessories are included, as the original charger, cable or packaging may not be supplied.
• Check the battery option before buying a smartphone. Some listings allow you to pay more for a new battery.
• Back Market says standard refurbished smartphone batteries should have at least 80% of their original capacity.
• Check the keyboard layout when buying a laptop, particularly if it was originally manufactured for another country.
• Confirm the storage capacity before ordering, as this may not be expandable.
• Back up your existing device before transferring your data.
• Test the screen, battery, cameras, microphone, speakers, charging port and accessibility settings soon after delivery.
• Report any problems within the returns period rather than waiting until it has ended.

Why is Back Market working with Purpl?

Phones, laptops and other devices are not always optional purchases for disabled people. Technology can provide access to healthcare, benefits accounts, work, education, transport information and vital communication, but replacing a broken device can place considerable pressure on an already stretched household budget.

By working with Purpl, Back Market can help eligible members save money on professionally refurbished technology while supporting our disabled-led mission to reduce the disability price tag.

Choosing refurbished technology can also make higher-specification devices more affordable while extending the life of products that might otherwise become electronic waste.
