Super fast delivery! It was at my door the next day. Very nice bag - great material, very light and great functionality. Can’t wait to take it to work with me tomorrow! Thank you.

I’m really happy with this backpack. The material feels high-quality, has a nice texture, and seems easy to wipe clean. It’s also very comfortable to wear, especially because the shoulder straps are w... See more

Worst customer service

I recently ordered a bag from your company. While the bag itself arrived in a timely manner, I was disappointed to find that the quality was poor. Despite this, I still liked the design and therefore requested a replacement, providing photos as requested.

My request for replacement was approved, but instead of receiving the replacement bag, I was unexpectedly issued a refund without any communication. I had been waiting for the replacement to use on an upcoming trip, so this decision—made without consultation—left me both inconvenienced and frustrated.

The explanation that the bag may not have been in stock is not acceptable, as this is a best-selling item that consistently appears available for purchase. This makes the handling of my case appear dismissive and careless.

Overall, this has been a very poor customer service experience. I am extremely dissatisfied, to the point that I will be returning another bag I previously purchased from your company. While I appreciate your products in principle, the lack of quality control and the disregard for customers’ concerns are unacceptable.

Hey Kapten,

Oh no, we're really sorry about that!
Normally, you would receive a replacement for the defective product. However, if the product is sold out, there is no way around a refund. Unfortunately, this was the case for you.
We are very sorry!
We would still be very happy if we could regain your trust one day.🤍

Best regards,

Misleading Dimensions – Laptop Doesn’t Fit for Bali backpack

I bought the Bali backpack from Kapten & Son. The bag looks nice, but the dimensions listed were not accurate, which was the main reason I chose this model. The sleeve for a 16-inch laptop is smaller than described, and my laptop doesn’t fit. The opening of the laptop sleeve is quite stiff and narrower than the sleeve inside, making it unusable for the purpose I bought it for. They should had at least write it up.

The worst customer support by Amine!!

The worst customer support by Amine!!

I got a backpack ordered with the promise of a certain delivery date that was published in writing on their website. The bag didn’t come in time and I left the country.

I asked them for a refund to cancel and it was such a ridiculous process of them blaming DHL. So maybe don’t advertise certain delivery, under deliver and then blame someone else?

1 month later I want to get this bag again but last time was at a big discount during their birthday sale. Asked Amine if he can issue the same coupon and he said no.

I don’t understand how some companies have zero understanding of customer service and just basic common sense. Stay away!

Hey Kapten,

Thank you for your honest feedback, even though we’re truly sorry to hear that your experience with us was disappointing.

We completely understand your frustration, especially when a delivery doesn’t arrive as promised and you’re unable to use your product as planned. We're genuinely sorry you felt let down. Please know that we always aim to support our customers in such cases as best we can, even though there are sometimes limitations, particularly when it comes to third-party shipping providers.

As for the discount during our birthday campaign: we understand it was a great deal and it's frustrating not to be able to access it again. These promotions are time-limited, but we’ll definitely pass on your feedback to our team.

If you’d like to reach out to us directly with your order details, we’re happy to take another look and see how we can best support you. 🖤

Warm regards from Cologne,
Your Kapten & Son Team

An extremely good company to purchase from and customer service is fantastic!

I recently had a very pleasant shopping experience at Kapten and Sons. My daughter needed a good backpack and it is extremely well made, lots of space and pockets, really light and comes with a protective bag. It folds over for extra space when you need it.Unfortunately, due to a delivery problem completely beyond Kapten's control, my order was delayed. Amine answered my messages promptly, politely and efficiently. I am looking forward to browsing and hopefully purchasing some more items from Kapten.I feel that there are several companies that could learn a lot from Kapten's fantastic service! Very impressed!

Delivery was incredibly fast

Delivery was incredibly fast! Love it. And backpack? That’s my second. One for traveling/gym and that one for office. I’m in love with Kapten & Son backpacks.

Great

The delivery was smooth and fast. I was expecting that my parcel will be left on the mailbox but the delivery guy was so thoughtful as he even went to our apartment to hand deliver it. This only shows how he handled my parcel with care.
