I didn't know a backpack could be so good...

I ordered a Hybrid Backpack 20L and as a new customer, I got 10% off. 2 weeks after I received it I noticed that they had a sale on, offering 20% so I cheekily asked if they could match the new price, and they did!

Aside from this great customer service, the Hybrid Backpack 20L is fantastic. I bought it after watching numerous YouTube reviews on backpacks in general which highly rated the Hybrid Backpack range. I looked on the Stubble & Co website and was very impressed with the features. As a commuter who has to travel 30 miles to work, a commute which involves a 20 min walk and 3 trains (both there and back), a backpack is not just a backpack. It becomes part of the weight my legs need to carry so it's important that it's comfortable. My old Fjallraven was really hurting my shoulders (which was strange considering one of its selling points was that it doesn't do this...) it was also almost featureless compared to the Hybrid Backpack 20L. I pondered getting the 30L but opted for the 20L to enforce a limit on the amount of stuff I carry to/ from work (bad habit of mine). Amazingly, I have actually been able to fit more in this than my Fjallraven and somehow, I have no pain in my shoulders. I barely feel the weight of all the things items I have convinced myself are essential (Do I really need 5 USB-C cables? Yes, just in case). I even changed my work coat to match the backpack because this purchase triggered a refresh of my 'commuting uniform', so definitely a life enhancer. I must get someone to take semi 'candid' photos of me on Thameslink or the Victoria line so I can see how smart I look.

If you are thinking about buying this, stop thinking... just buy. Your shoulders will thank you!

Great Customer Service

I love my Stubble & Co backpack and use it daily. I had an issue with a buckle, which broke twice. In the first instance, Stubble & Co quickly arranged for a courier service to fix the buckle. In the second instance, the Stubble & Co team offered a replacement due to repeat issue. As my backpack model was discontinued, the team provided me with a similar product, quickly dispatching a roll-top bag as a replacement. Throughout the experience, the responses were quick, courteous, and thoughtful. Stubble & Co not only makes great products, but also cares about the customer experience and sustainability. I love the brand and am thankful for the great customer service!

Quality Product & Great Customer Service

Product is well made, fantastic quality. It was really difficult to find a proper 'waterproof' backpack vs just 'water repellent', glad I finally found it with Stubble & Co. Also customer service was quick and helpful. Daphney in particular was great!

Received amazing service from Stubble & Co on my recent order. they handle customer inquiries like a high-touch / high-end luxury brand (Daphney was my rep). Very impressed and will certainly come back for more of their products down the road. Thanks 👍

The customer service at this company is…

Chris - The customer service at this company is amazing, I recently ordered a bag but it fell into discount the day after, I reached out to them and on the day they responded back quickly and issued me a partial refund in line with the discount. Their product is amazing and so is the team working behind the scenes!

Not a great experience with a return

***Amended since the refund has now been paid - perhaps the negative review expedited this. My experience was not great…after returning an item it took 11 days and several emails to receive the refund after the item had been sent back. The customer service agent asked me to provide a postage receipt despite using the approved return courier and the tracking showing as returned 10 days prior.

Hi Ricky.

Thank you for updating your review and for sharing your experience — we’re really sorry that the return and refund process felt frustrating.

Just to clarify, when we asked for proof of postage it was so we could expedite your refund without needing to wait for the return to be processed and checked by our warehouse team. When customers provide a postage receipt, it allows us to confirm the return has been sent and often issue the refund sooner than our standard returns processing timeline.

That said, we completely understand that the delay and back-and-forth wasn’t the experience you were expecting, and we’re really sorry for the inconvenience caused.

We really appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our returns process moving forward. If there’s anything else we can help with, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.

Nobody knows what’s happening with my order

Ordered next day delivery on Tuesday. It’s Friday and there’s no sign of it and nobody can tell me what’s happened. Customer service just say it’s out of their hands and with Evri.

Hi Ed,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate your feedback.

I’m sorry to hear that your order was delayed. I completely understand how frustrating that must be, especially after selecting next day delivery at checkout.

We have reached out to you directly to help resolve this and make sure you’re fully supported. While the delay appears to have occurred with the courier, we’ve also checked in to confirm that your delivery has now been completed successfully.

Thank you again for your patience. If there’s anything further we can help with, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Great bags, perfect for Gym and everyday

Great bags, I’ve got two, and these are awesome.

Shipping takes its time (ordered at the end of Christmas, so expected).

Customer service is responsive.

Bags are really functional and work well, sturdy materials and built to last.

Best customer service experience in years!

Stubbie & Co's customer service is second to none. Truly. I swapped the colour of my bag: it was no issue. The straps on the new bag kept slipping: they replaced it, no questions asked, They're friendly, super responsive, and generally very helpful, The product is great too.

Great satisfaction

Great satisfaction with the two products I ordered : wash bag and tech bag.
They both are light, smart designed and seem resistant. Colors and materials are qualitative. If it’s the case in the long RUN I may consider buying some luggage later.
