What are the military promo code conditions?

This offer is valid for one year starting from the date the promo code was received. It can be used once per user per year for all purchases starting at $1. The promo code can be used with all items sold on Back Market, but is non-transferable and can’t be combined with existing offers or promotions.

How do I use my promo code?

During checkout, you’ll see a field to enter the promo code on the payment page. Copy and paste your code into that field. Select “Check this code,” and you’re good to go!

What delivery locations are available?

For customers in the US, shipping is available within the 48 contiguous states. Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, and US territories isn’t available right now.

Shipping to military and diplomatic locations is currently not available. But we're working on a solution to support these locations, troops, and staff. Stay tuned.
