Thank you for bringing this to our attention—we’re really sorry to hear that your custom strap wasn’t included with your order. This definitely isn’t the experience we want for you, especially after selecting a custom add-on. We’re already looking into what happened and will be reaching out to you as soon as possible to make this right. We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to fix this for you.

I inquired about a repair for my backpack and while I couldn’t get a definitive answer about whether the repair would be fixable or covered under the lifetime warranty, I received a prompt response from customer service under 24hrs with details about how to ship my backpack to the repair center to check. I live in the San Jose area and saw that I could actually drop off to the Timbuk2 store at SF Premium Outlets in Livermore, so I did that instead of packaging it up and mailing it. Within a few days, I received an email notifying me that my backpack was accepted for repair and that it would be covered under the lifetime warranty. Several days later, I got an email notification that it was shipped to my house with an estimated date of arrival. I received my backpack all fixed up, about 8 days after I dropped it off. It was a fantastic experience, especially considering that I was notified that the process might take 6-10 weeks. Hopefully I won’t need another repair for a while but I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to their customer service again, Timbuk2 made the process so easy and I know so many other brands make the process more challenging so that they don’t have to fulfill their warranty. This backpack was a gift back in 2018 and the only item I have from Timbuk2 but I might have to change that after this experience!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience—we’re really glad we could help get your backpack back in action! It’s great to hear that our team was able to guide you quickly and that the drop-off option in Livermore made things even easier. We know repairs can sometimes feel uncertain at the start, so we’re especially happy everything came together smoothly and much faster than expected. We truly stand behind our lifetime warranty, and it means a lot to hear that the process felt straightforward and hassle-free compared to other brands. That backpack clearly has some history behind it, and we’re honored to keep it going strong. If you ever need us again (hopefully not too soon!), we’ll be here—and we’d love to welcome you back for your next Timbuk2 piece whenever you’re ready.

I got the bag really fast and I just love your product. My previous bag was also Timbuk2 and I used it for 10 years!!
Response from Timbuk2Mar 30, 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear your bag arrived quickly and that you’re loving it. It means a lot to know your previous Timbuk2 bag lasted you 10 years—that’s exactly the kind of durability we strive for. We truly appreciate your continued support!

This backpack was too heavy and I had to buy a different one. It hurt my back even when it was empty. I'm sorry it didn't work out.
Response from Timbuk2Mar 30, 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback—we’re really sorry to hear that the backpack didn’t work out for you and caused discomfort. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers. Fit and comfort can vary quite a bit depending on body type and how a bag sits, and we understand how frustrating it is when something just doesn’t feel right—even before adding any gear. We’d really appreciate the chance to make this right and hear your feedback on the one you returned. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us at [email protected], and our team will be happy to assist with recommendations or next steps. Thanks again for your honest feedback—it helps us continue to improve.

Marlene helped me through the process of replacing two clips that I had broken over time. The messenger bag is approximately 14 years old or so, of which I have two. She was very helpful and quick to find the correct clips that would fit my bag and were out for delivery the following day. I couldn’t ask more from a company that has Marlene as the representative for customer support. Timbuk2 has my loyalty and admiration for a company that stands behind their products. In totality, my family and I own six various products from Timbuk2. I incorrectly stated five in a prior post. A great company that makes a quality product!

Thank you so much for sharing this incredible feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Marlene was able to help you get your messenger bag back in action—especially after 14 years of use. That kind of longevity is exactly what we aim for, and it means a lot to know your bags have stood the test of time. Marlene will be delighted to hear your kind words. Our support team takes great pride in making sure every customer gets the right solution quickly, and it’s wonderful to see that reflected in your experience. We’re also honored to have earned your family’s loyalty across six Timbuk2 products—no correction needed, we’ll gladly take the upgrade! Thank you for trusting us over the years and for recognizing our commitment to quality and standing behind what we make. Here’s to many more years of adventures with your gear!

Your website is very user-friendly. It was just hard trying to decide which backpack to purchase. The customer comments were very helpful in deciding which bag to select, and I like that they included the bag's dimensions. I look forward to receiving my bag. Thank you.
