Received a t-bone bed extender today in the mail. These things are not cheap. The product was clearly used, repackaged, and then sent without all the parts; those included were scratched and damaged.... See more

easy to search for type and size
I love that the website can search for bags by size. There aren't a great deal of photos from different angles but enough to get an idea. The bag was delivered quickly and wel packaged with excellent communication via email. Will def use again

Bought as a present but seems to be a fabulous product.
Great service and good quality
Do not use this company! AVOID!
My actual rating is ZERO stars!
Nearly 3 weeks later and still no rucksack! It has now been returned to the sender due to an incorrect address. They received it 3 days ago but have still not refunded me or updated me!
No response from phoning and no reply to emails.
So, they now have the rucksack and my money!
Awful customer service. Awful company. No response to reviews. Go somewhere else and pay a few pounds more. Well done to all those that had a positive experience.
Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

Recommended
I was shopping for a backpack online. The Backpacker got my attention because they offered me the one with lowest price (lower than the brand shop).
The whole experience is very good. Smooth online purchase process, fast delivery, product exactly as described. Will be on my list for future online shopping.
Excellent website
Excellent website . Fast next day delivery. Would recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Eastpak suitcase
Got a suitcase last minute from here because it was 2 days delivery instead of the standard 5 to 7 days from Eastpak and it had the same discount as if I bought it from them direct. Couldn't be happier thank you.
Great Company
Ordering was simple, the bag (Eastpak Small) arrived in a couple of days. Excellent service. Would definitely recommend and would definitely use again.
Great products and prices
I bought an Eastpack backpack, best price I have found from retailers and websites + delivered at my door step under 48h, Great!
Great service
I was able to find a bag that was sold out almost everywhere else, and it came in very good time once I’d ordered it. Would definitely recommend.
Super quick delivery
Super quick delivery, product as described and at a good price. Would highly recommend.
My new favourite fanny pack.
Excellent service
Excellent service, great bag at a great price. After buying a sports brand backpack for daughter Starting secondary school, day 2 realised that it was not big enough for laptop, books, pack lunch etc! After a short google search the backpacker came up with this bag. Was delivered next day and had ample room for all her bits with some space left over. She is very pleased and so and I!
Bargains and Excellent Service
The item arrived swiftly and the communication from the company was excellent. The bag was a bargain too, at nearly 1/3 of the normal selling price
Excellent service and backpack
Ordering was straightforward; backpack was dispatched same day and arrived the next day. Lots of emails updating me on the status of the order and delivery. Excellent service. The backpack was also excellent—the Billabong Command 29L in black. Perfect for the final 2 years of secondary school for all those GCSE books. Lots of separate sections that are very roomy and overall size is perfect.
