We’re sorry to hear about your experience — that’s not what we want for any customer. Our bags are built to be durable and weather-resistant, but machine washing (even on delicate/cold) can damage the materials and coatings, which is why it voids the warranty. The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, not damage from care outside our guidelines. We understand cleaning should be simple, and we’re sorry our previous response felt unhelpful. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve how we support our customers.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry this situation left you feeling so disappointed. We understand how important a wedding gift is, and how frustrating it must have been to miss the return window by just a few days — especially after already purchasing a replacement. Our return policy is set to be fair and consistent for all customers, but we recognize that in special circumstances it can feel inflexible. It’s never our intention for our tone or brand voice to come across as insincere, and we’re sorry that your experience changed how you view us. We appreciate your honest feedback and have shared it with our team as we continue working to improve both our service and our customer experience.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the repeated delivery delays and the tone of the response you received. Order updates should be communicated clearly and respectfully, and it’s disappointing to hear that our reply came across as snide. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and your feedback has been shared internally as we work to improve both our communication and overall customer service.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Receiving a damaged backpack and then facing a long delay for a replacement is understandably frustrating. That’s not the level of quality or service we aim to provide. We regret the extended timeline and the frustration it’s caused. Your feedback has been shared internally as we review both our product quality checks and replacement process to ensure situations like this are handled more quickly and smoothly in the future.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry for the confusion and frustration surrounding your order. Tracking updates that show delivery and then a return — without clear communication — are understandably upsetting. We also regret that your interaction with customer service felt impersonal and lacked an apology. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have. While a refund is one way to resolve a returned shipment, we understand why you would have preferred a replacement option and clearer communication. Your feedback has been shared with our team as we work to improve both our shipping processes and the way we support our customers.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience. Receiving a custom bag in colors different from what you ordered would understandably be frustrating. That’s not the standard we aim for, especially with custom products that are made to reflect your specific choices. While custom items are typically non-returnable, they should always match the order that was placed. We regret that this situation left you disappointed, and your feedback has been shared internally as we review our quality control and communication processes.

We are extremely concerned to read this and are very sorry for what you and your son have experienced. A backpack sent in for repair should never be resold, and personal information attached to it should never leave our care. What you’ve described is not aligned with our repair process or our standards for handling customer property and privacy. We also apologize for the lack of response to your prior message — that is unacceptable, especially given the seriousness of this situation. Your feedback has been escalated internally for immediate review of both our repair handling procedures and our privacy safeguards. We understand how alarming this must be as a parent, and we are deeply sorry for the distress this has caused.
