Who are we? It’s a tricky question when people ask who we are. We’d like to give them the same sentence each time: “We are a company that sells low priced luggage, backpacks, handbags, purses and accessories”. Unfortunately by the time we’ve finished, people have usually fallen asleep. Anyway, we’ll give you the shorter version, it’s more poetic: “We’re saving the world from overpriced luggage”. When we’re not saving the world, we’re making sure that everyone who buys from us is left feeling content with their choice. We’re not going to give the whole ‘The customer is always right’ speech, but without our customers we wouldn’t be here, so they’ll always be our priority. Anyway, that’s enough about who we are. To see why you should buy from us, by all means please read on. Why Karabar? It’s as easy as 1, 2, and 3. 1. Great service How do we give a great service? Well, we stock most of the products ourselves, so they’re ready to leave our warehouse straight away. Your order is hand-picked; we haven’t advanced to fancy robots just yet. This allows us to check for any errors, pack it with a barrel of love, place some protective airbags in the box, ready for you to pop and scare people as-and-when. This whole process is usually done on the same day; nothing stops us at Karabar HQ. Not even a mere cold can dampen our work flow. 2. Low prices How on earth are they so low? Simple really, we cut the importer, the wholesaler, the sales reps, and every other person in between so that we can do it ourselves. We even have our own dedicated design team. Not only can we make quality items for less this way, we think it’s only fair that you should pay less too. Because we like to brag about our low prices, we show you what they could have been sold for at recommend retail price. We like to break convention. 3. Outstanding customer support It doesn’t matter if you’re thinking about buying from us, about to buy from us, in the middle of buying from us, or just bought from us, we’re here to help. We know every other company will give you that kind of statement so what else is new? Well for starters we’re open from 9am-5pm every day; you can reach us by live chat, email or phone call between those hours. You can even contact us by post if that’s your thing? If it’s delivered by horseback we’ll probably give you a free item. Guess what else we have? A free-phone number for landlines, none of that 0845 nonsense! Ultimately, we’d like our customers to treat us like friends and vice versa. We’ll try and give you a great experience from online store to door.

Karabar Halden shopping trolley
Very fast delivery. Pleased with my Karabar Halden shopping trolley. It has a top square opening which makes bulky or awkward shaped items easier to pack and a useful zipped pocket at the back which I use for phone, keys, purse.

Would not recommend as would not replace when faulty & under warranty
Bought a suitcase from eBay which was made by this company. Used it once and the zip split away from the material. Tried to get in touch with the company I bought it from via eBay but they had gone into liquidation. The company had a new name so I tried to contact them and they had also gone into liquidation.
The suitcase had a 3 year manufacture warranty so I contact Karabar Luggage direct showing proof of purchase from the eBay company etc and they refused to replace the suitcase saying I had to go back to the company I had bought it from, even though I had explained that the company no longer were in business.
I explained that surely the warranty is with them as their name is on the suitcase & they said NO, only if the company who I bought it off contact them would they consider replacing it, which obviously is not going to happen as they are no longer trading.
It makes you wonder what kind of company they are if that they will not replace a £12 suitcase when it has their name on it, has only been used once & was clearly faulty.
I would definitely NOT recommend this company at all.

Potton Suit/Garment Carrier... The business
This is a well made suit carrier with plenty of compartments and the exterior is finished in a heavy robust weave which should stand the rigours of travel - it even comes with a 10-year guarantee. What's not to like? This compares with the high-end 'label' carriers out there at 2-3 times the price.
The Customer Service department are amazing and handled my query swiftly and professionally - excellent to deal with.
Thoroughly recommend this company and will buy my next cargo holdall from them.

Nice product well made
The delivery time was well above average and the packaging although knocked about externally, protected the product within.
Haven't used the luggage yet but it looks and feels strong and well constructed. Good design too.
Has not yet been tested by airport baggage mishandlers!
