Topnotch customer service: I was explained what to expect from the whole process from start to finish. I was thrilled that the warranty on my much-loved backpack would cover the repair. I have been using a favorite bespoke French saddle bag, but I terribly missed my Timbuk2 backpack. I'm excited to use it again

After I made my purchase, I began receiving emails from the company's customer service team. These emails were not related to any interactions I had with them. During these email exchanges, I received information on other customers' orders as screenshots or other information embedded in the emails. I thought this was odd and confusing, and something I have never experienced with an online merchant.
Response from Timbuk2· May 6, 2026
We sincerely apologize for the confusion and concern caused by the emails you received. During a recent technical issue related to shipping delays, some customer service communications were sent and we understand how unsettling it was to receive information that did not pertain to your order. Protecting our customers’ information is extremely important to us, and we regret this experience. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and thank you for your patience while we worked through the issue.

I love dealing with the folks at Timbuk2. I own several bags, and this is the second time I’ve sent one in for repairs, after years of hard use. I always get excellent service. No matter who I deal with, I can count on them being friendly, professional, and responsive. Excellent communication, fair pricing, and quick turnaround. These are the reasons I choose to buy Timbuk2 bags. The last bag you’ll have to buy!

I've had a Timbuk2 bag for about 20 years that I use often and it has held up perfectly. I recently needed new luggage and purchased the Copilot luggage. On its maiden voyage, the final airport somehow absolutely destroyed the axle for the wheel (I think they ran it over, thats how much force would have had to been used). Obviously not a Timbuk2 problem or warranty claim. I wanted to send it in to see if they could repair it. They let me know there would be a small charge, which was well worth it for the cost of not having to buy new luggage. Once it arrived, they even wived the repair fee and sent it back within a week. Will always use them for bags.

Thank you for sharing this story — and for trusting Timbuk2 gear for the past 20 years! We’re sorry to hear your Copilot had such a rough first trip, but we’re glad we could help get it back on the road quickly. We believe great bags are built to last, and whenever possible, we want to help keep them going rather than replace them. Your support and loyalty truly mean a lot to our team. Wishing you many smoother travels ahead with your repaired Copilot!

The website was easy to navigate, and the products are always high quality. The company notified me when there was going to be a delay in shipping the product, which I appreciated.

I got my first Timbuk2 as a work anniversary gift in 2015, when I was just starting out as an intern. That bag lasted me 7 years, then went straight to my dad, who used it every single day for another six. Built different. When it was time for my own upgrade, I came back to Timbuk2. This time I chose something a little more me: less industrial, more elegant, with a feminine touch. That was 2018. I've taken it to work every day, loaded it to the brim, and brought it to conferences across the country. It has handled everything I've thrown at it. Eventually I snagged the zipper on a hook. It still kept working until one day it didn't. I contacted support and they just asked me to send it in, and Timbuk2 repaired it! Just like that, my bag got a second life. That kind of quality and customer care is rare. It's also why, when my husband wore out his old work bag, his birthday present was a Timbuk2. Once you find a brand that delivers on every level, there's really no reason to look anywhere else. Thank you, Timbuk2!

Wow—this absolutely made our day. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful story with us. We love hearing how your first bag kept going for over a decade (and even got a second life with your dad—that’s amazing), and that your current one has been right there with you through daily work and cross-country conferences. That’s exactly what we design our bags for. We’re also really glad we could help get your bag repaired and back in action. Giving gear a longer life is just as important to us as building it tough in the first place. It means a lot that you came back to us—and even brought your husband into the Timbuk2 family. Thanks again for your trust and support over the years 💛
