Omg! This company is a complete scammer.
I bought my backpack for 1 year!!! ago, but I still receive nothing. I write thousands of a message to the customer support, they dishonored me to send me my pack as soon as possible but neeee! Nothing!!!

Hi Alexander! We're so sorry about this whole situation. It's definitely not what we would've hoped your experience to be with Boundary. We've completely restructured our team to better serve our customers. We hope that you'll give us another chance!

Exceptionally poor service
I ordered backpack on 1st of June. When received order confirmation, it advised me it is being sipped after 1st of July,... it arrived at the end of August.
Then I wanted to return it and it was not possible as return was supposed to be accepted latest 3 months after order (it was delivered 3 months after ordering). Return process took 8 weeks and a lot of emails with CS advisor and was not done
Eventually I decided to sell it via eBay rather than dealing with them.
Simply said: horrible service, I don`t recommend to buy from them. I am giving 1 star, only because I cannot give 0 stars.

good material, but to avoid
I have a Prima System's bag: it's good material. But, the delivery was very long. I made a new order in August. I still have not received my other bag and no news.

Hi Manu,
Can you please email in with your order number? We do have Prima systems on pre order for certain regions and colors. You can find this information jut above the buy now button. Pre order items do take longer to ship as they are pre sold ahead of manufacturing. Please message in to our live chat or email and we will be happy to assist. Thanks!

Just another awful experience
I did actually receive what I ordered from them (and it only shipped out a week late) which seems to put me ahead of their other unfortunate victims on this site. However, the reports of their QA not being great came true for me, and the backpack I ordered has very unevenly sewn straps, which makes it too uncomfortable to use. They asked me to front the cost of shipping it back and then tell them how much it was so they could refund me. I thought this was entirely too sketchy and complicated, and asked for a prepaid label instead. They said they would give me a label, and thus began a spectacular series of weekly updates wherein they tell me the label “still isn’t available” (is it being hand-drawn and then hand-carried to me on horseback? Even then I’d expect it to have gotten here by now) and ask if I’ve shipped the bag back yet. It’s telling that they’re transparently asking, basically, “have you given up yet?” each time they “update me”. This has been very frustrating, and given some of these other reviews I hope it serves to further inform people that even if you actually get your order at all, it might easily be defective and if it is, you are guaranteed to have the most frustrating experience of your life being lowkey gaslit by some customer service rep who may not even be a real person that you can only communicate with over email.

Hi ! Very sorry to hear about your experience with the defect and the exchange. In all hand made products there is a chance for errors and we do everything we can to mitigate that by having strict standards for our QC process. While this is in place mistakes can get through and we fully stand behind our product. I wish the return or exchange would have gone more smoothly for you and we have now changed the process to ensure faster return label deliveries. I hope that you will give me an opportunity to make it up to you at some point. please email me any time as I highly value your feedback. [email protected]

Delays Delays Delays (Updated 25th November 2019)
I have ordered a Prima System Modular Travel Backpack (Obsidian Black) on the 18th September 2019 after reading positive reviews about the hardware. I was looking for a backpack that is versatile for travel, commuting and hiking and the backpack seemed to fulfill most of the requirements. The ordering process on the website was smooth and it is a pretty nice website.
60 days have passed since the order and I have not received the backpack. I have sent multiple inquiries for updates and I always received the standard response that the fulfillment centre has been notified and it would be shipped out in the next 24-48 business hours or 1-3 working days.
In the end, the colour that I wanted from the backpack was out of stock despite a long wait and while I have accepted an offer to change the colour of the backpack, nothing came out of it either.
The projector came about from Kickstarter Project and I applaud the efforts and initiative to design the perfect backpack, thus there is some understanding that the infrastructure and system might be a little unrefined compared to the big brands and delays would be expected. After a long wait. I think it is safe to say that the team has not been able to handle the logistics and operations of international shipments as of today. Boundary Supply was still fulfilling orders before September and October in my correspondence with the customer service.
If you are intending to order from Boundary Supply internationally, be prepared that the orders will be delayed and there might even be a chance that it might not be fulfilled even. I have since seek a refund for the order and had to look elsewhere for an alternative for a trip that I had wanted to use the bag and properly review the hard product for.
Technical Details on the Order:
18th September 2019 : Ordered. "If item(s) are available and in stock, all orders will ship within 24 – 48 business hrs of being placed. Orders received on weekends or holidays will be sent the next business day. You will receive an order confirmation upon purchase and then a shipping confirmation via text message and email with your tracking number once your order is processed. Please allow one to two days to begin tracking your package."
4th October 2019 : No news, only found out about the shortage and delay, after an inquiry.
6th October 2019 : "Due to overwhelming responses and demands to our products especially the Prima System, we have experienced issues in production. Upon checking, we are expecting our stocks to be available on October 10th. It will then take 24-48 Business hours for our Fulfillment Center to ready your package and another 1-3 days for it to be delivered to you. "
29th October 2019 : "Upon checking your order ... with the Prima System Modular Travel Backpack Obsidian Black is already available but still on pending status because we are currently on the reorganization and inventory of stocks to put everything in order. No worries, I have this escalated to be prioritized once everything is good and ready for shipping. It will be in your doorstep within 3 to 5 days upon shipment starts."
3rd Nov 2019 : Order was "escalated" to fulfillment centre once again.
8th Nov 2019 : No news. 51 Days since order confirmation and payment.
9th Nov 2019 : Boundary Supply updated me that the Prima System Modular Travel Backpack Obsidian Black is out of stock and offered to change the colour. I accepted the change of colour and was notified that it will be sent out within 24-48 business hours.
15th Nov 2019 : Order wasn't updated or sent out. Sent another email to inquire and was told that fulfillment centre has been notified to push for shipping. No updates since the email.
17th November : Brandon Gonsalves offered to personal take care of the colour change and delivery of the product. I was reassured it will arrive by Friday and it will be shipped from the Singapore warehouse.
19th November : After a long wait and more inquiries, I finally got a notification that the order will be shipped out. Boundary Supply has engaged J&T Express to handle the delivery. According to the tracking information, the product was in the hub on the 18th of November.
23rd November : A delivery was attempted. The courier did not update me on the timing or whether the delivery will be fulfilled and I ended up waiting till 11 pm for the fail delivery. The courier company was not contactable and not responsive on Facebook.
25th November : A delivery was attempted again, same problem. This time, one call out of ten went through to the courier company but nothing happens again.
Friday came and went and still no bag, two months 1 week since the order.

Credibility, what is that?
Perhaps the worst company I have ever had to deal with. A company of pathological liars who abuses their customers on a repeat basis. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Worst customer experience ever!!!
Worst customer experience ever! If I could I would give them less than one star but unfortunately, Trustpilot doesn't allow it.
A bit of context:
I ordered the EXM PORT 6 LITER on the 30th of June and I haven't received the product yet. I've been in contact with a total of five different people from their support staff and none of them has given me a straight answer to my questions or compensated me in any way. They only have a lot of excuses to why my package is delayed. Excuses like: ”unfortunately we have a third party partner that we rely on to ship these orders out and as of right now they are backed up with other clients issues and they’re not shipping orders out as quickly as we need them to” (Rica, support staff, Boundary Supply). Honestly, I don't care how their shipping arrangements are organized... But come on, it shouldn't take 79 days to get a pre-paid package delivered. The latest update is that they have delivered the package to a wrong city (same street name). Last Friday, I contacted them once more to informed them about the error... Their answer was to be patient and give them 48-72 hours to investigate and make an inquiry with DPD. Yesterday I got an ”update” from James (support staff, Boundary Supply) which basically was another bad excuse. I've asked them several times to return my purchase. Which they haven't answered yet.
So, I can't with clear concierge recommend this company to anyone and I truly regret that I've recommended their backpack to fellow photographers. Don't buy their products unless you have 3+ months to wait for the package to get delivered.
*UPDATE*
I've finally received my package. Just 91 days after I ordered it. Brilliant.

Solid product, scummy company
I ordered an Errant backpack from them, and am actually quite happy with the product. Shipping was very fast and no hassle either. However there was an issue with what I would call misleading advertising regarding the shipping costs*. Therefore I felt the need to leave a review for the backpack on their own site. I feel like I left a fair but critical review and made sure to also point out how I like the product.
Well, guess what? I went and checked a few days afterwards: My review is gone, they simply deleted it! This is unacceptable.

* During the checkout process it says "30$ tax charge included". I assumed this to mean that they would cover the import taxes which I would have had to pay. But actually it refers to some kind of export tax, which would not have been my duty to pay in the first place anyway.
Response from Boundary SupplyNov 4, 2019
Hi Henry,
Firstly I wanted to thank you for the order! I think there is some confusion on the fee charged at checkout. You would have been charged a VAT tax fee on top of your shipping fee. This VAT is a value added Tax which is mandated by your country and we have to charge this. Duties upon import is a separate charge. Right now we have over 30 countries that we ship to with no duties due on delivery but with the ever changing laws we cannot guarantee this for every country. For a full list of the countries included with the no fee guarantee please see the FAQ section.
If you order was to one of these countries please message in and we will happily refund you the fees incurred. Thanks again!
