Awful service / experience Short version: almost two weeks of back and forth where I had to help point out issues / felt like it was on me to show what was going on. Ended with just cancelling the order. Would be highly concerned if I ever had to actually use the 'guarantee' based on the ordering experience. 4/8 - placed order 4/10 - fulfillment email w/ tracking 4/11 - tracking was not registered with UPS, I reached out to troubadour asking where it was 4/12 - support noted warehouse confirmed it was sent and told ME to reach out to UPS 4/13 - support confirmed it is right tracking ID / was sent 4/14-4/16 - had to also reach out on chat to prompt a response, got conflicting information because chat representative pulled the wrong order ID 4/17 - support confirmed tracking ID now works and that item was on the way 4/19 - after ANOTHER exchange of emails, support / warehouse now say package is actually lost and not sent at all, offering to reship with no discount or compensation 4/20 - requested refund instead, waiting on processing

Customer service was also a dream to… Customer service was also a dream to work with. - I ran into an issue with the bag I purchased while traveling (not a product quality issue; the quality was excellent) - Customer support was very responsive (<24 hours) - They offered me different options to handle the issue I had and it was satisfactorily resolved in the end

Only positives to say Only positives to say The materials are all high quality and durable. I chose this bag initially as it has a "manlier" look than many of the leather options. It is still elegant though and it fits a lot of stuff without complicating the bag with loads of different zippers. I've been using it for a month now for office & travel, absolutely love it!

Apex Backpack The Apex Backpack is a great everyday, urban bag. Unfortunately, I had a problem with the main zipper three years after purchase. It was replaced quickly and with little fuss. A great bag and the best backup service and warranty that I have experienced.

Filtered Product Reviews EDIT: They posted my review after a couple of weeks, which I appreciate, so updating my review based on the customer service. Will follow up with the company to see if there is a way to resolve me issue. Received the Troubadour Ridge Backpack as a gift. I really loved the bag, but the design is very sleek so the bottom of the shoulder straps are quite small (1 inch thick) and soft. This resulted in the straps loosening every time I put on the backpack. I wrote a 3 star review on their website, and they never posted it, even after I verified my email. It seems that they filter their reviews which is quite frustrating because you'll never know the cons of their products and be able to make an informed purchasing decision.
