    Hi,

    Looking at buying an iPhone 16 pro on backmarket US as it's about 20% cheaper and mys sister is coming home from there.

    Just wondering what is the cheapest way to buy this. Is Visa CC, my Irish bank or is Revolut an option. Thanks

    Revolut probably offer the best exchange rate but getting it delivered in the US might raise a flag.

    Of course any issues you're gonna need to send it back to them

    Thanks. It shouldn't be an issue as Backmarket only issue phone and cable (probably). There won't be any boxes. Sister flies back and forth about twice a year so no problem as there's a 12 month warranty.

    Have a look at their one star reviews on Trustpilot and ask yourself if it is worth taking the chance with them .
