Good First Experience
I was slightly nervous dealing with gapyeartravel as I hadn't bought from them before. Bought a drysack at a great price, delivery didn't arrive on time but I suspect that was more the Post Ofiices fault and wasn't a big problem at all.
Would happily buy from them again.

Unprompted review
As expected/described
The item arrived when expected and was as described. As some other reviews mentioned, it's slightly heavier than a normal backpack but that is to be expected with the wheels built in. I've not used it yet, but it does look spacious enough and comfortable when put on. I wish the luggage came with zip locker, but not a biggie. Overall, I'm excited to try it out on few months long trip and report back then :)

Mosquito nets
Ordered these nets on late Friday night was kept fully informed via e mail until they were received on Tuesday.
Nets are just as stated.
Only issue was they were delivered to wrong street !! But that happens often !!!

Five star service and value
Unfortunately, I was unable to get the right colour way that I desired from this reseller so I had to return. However, I received exemplary, very courteous and professional service. I highly recommend this business and I will not hesitate to use them again next time.

An easy process!
Gap Year Travelstore was the only online store I could find with the bag in stock. Once ordered the bag was despatched promptly and it arrived when I was informed it would. I would order from them again.

Your response and postage of my adaptor…
Your response and postage of my adaptor plug was most efficient, that k you. I have not used it yet but have every faith my 'Go' product will do it's job well.

Great site
Great site, huge selection of items and good customer service too. I bought a few items ahead of a trip to Australia - packing cubes and plug adaptors. When I opened them, one of the adaptors was rattling and I didn't want to risk taking a broken adaptor with me, so asked for an exchange and they said they'd just send me another free of charge! Lovely personal service.
