Can’t fault anything!

I have been purchasing items from Kapten & Son for years, I absolutely love their products. They are really good quality, stylish and such a wide range of luggage for any kind of travelling! I always get complimented on my Kapten & Son bags.

I recently ordered the Lisbon Duffle Backpack in black, for a going away on a camping trip. However, after a couple of days customer service reached out, as I had forgot to add my mobile number within the delivery details. (Completely my fault) but unfortunately this put a delay on shipping.

I was speaking with Amine, from their customer service team and they could not have been more kind and helpful. I informed Amine I needed the bag by a particular date for my trip, and Amine was very honest in telling me it would now not arrive on time. (I don’t feel you get that level of honesty or transparency from other companies out there, so it was very much appreciated.)

Amine kindly offered to cancel the order for me, but we were a little too late and it had been shipped. Knowing I would not be home for the delivery, and wouldn’t be back for some time, Amine arranged an extension on my return period, so I had plenty time to return the item when I got home.

When I got home from my trip I received my package, and I loved the bag so much I decided to keep it anyway. It’s given me the perfect excuse to book another trip!

Like every other bag I’ve previously purchased, the quality is fantastic, super spacious, lots of pockets and the fact I can change this from a duffel bag to a backpack is great!

In the 6 plus years I’ve been ordering from Kapten & Son this is the first time I’ve had any issue with delivery and it was due to my own mistake. Delivery has always been super efficient and reliable. Overall, the products and the service is excellent, I would highly recommend Kapten & Son to others.

Company is a Scam.

Giving 1 star because they failed to deliver my bag in the time frame they had given and now they have failed to give me my refund in the time frame they have given. Returns will also cost you almost €5 even if you send it back within the 2 weeks they suggest. A scam of a company. They claim to give refunds in 10 days so why have I been waiting 32 days to see mine? Complete scam artists.

I bought the Lisbon Duffle Backpack and can't comment on the durability but am obsessed with the design. It seems to have endless 'hidden' compartments and plenty of space in the main section for a weekend away (possibly a week depending on how much you need!) but still manages to feel compact. This completely fits what I was looking for as a small suitcase is too small and a medium too big. The only thing that is sacrificed really is wheels. Also love the additional wet section and laundry bag and haven't even seen where to put my laptop yet. Comfortable padded straps if using it as a rucksack and very stylish overall.

I am writing to exComplaint Regarding Poor Delivery Service and Lack of Communication

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the delivery service I received recently. According to your system, the delivery attempt was unsuccessful because the courier was unable to reach me by phone or at home. However, I would like to clarify that no one attempted to contact me during the first three days. It was only on the fourth day that I received a call.

This delay and lack of communication caused significant inconvenience. I hope that you will take steps to improve your delivery process to ensure better customer service in the future.

I bought a new travel backpack! Great construction quality, doesn’t feel or seem cheap in any way! I also loved the info of the delivery process, in every step. Totally worth it

Damaged delivery

Unfortunately, the delivery arrived damaged. I kindly ask you to resend the item, this time using appropriate packaging rather than just a basic cardboard box.

Hey Yusuf!

Danke dir für deine Bewertung! Das tut uns leid, dass das Paket in dem Zustand bei dir angekommen ist. Das darf natürlich nicht so ein. Dabei handelt es sich um ein Verschulden seitens DHL. Wir werden dies auf jeden Fall einmal weiterleiten 🤍 .

Bossed about

My experience has been very poor as I received a duplicate package from the Post Office about a week after receiving my package from DHL. I contacted customer service and was told I must print out my own return label and post it back to them. I do not appreciate the lack of care for my time I wasn’t offered anything to help smooth over the process but felt bossed around to rectify their error (something to do with UK customs). Although I like the product I will not be buying from them again and do not recommend their company especially if you’re based in the UK it seems.

Lovely bag, not so good delivery experience

Lovely bag with good storage and thought-out layout. The colour is nice as well 💚 The delivery took longer than expected and it would be great if it was possible to choose other options than home delivery for Denmark.

Blown away by the entire experience

Product has such an amazing quality, but what I'm blown away with the most is the entire experience. Packaging, focus on details, brand messaging. Made me feel really like I'm ready for new chapter in life. Your brand is not just bags, jackets, etc. but is a feeling that we're ready for more. So blown away by everything. Will definitely buy from your brand again!

Wrong timing

Hello.
While the backpack I ordered is still to be used, I wanted to share the customer service experience, which was not satisfactory.
First, there was the information on the website that the delivery would be within 1-3 working days, which made me wait, because I was ordering a backpack as a gift, so it was important for me to make sure I still have time for the return if the person doesn't like it.
However, within a couple of working days the backpack was just shipped.
In approx. a week from that point I got an email that DHL could not deliver the backpack to me on that day, so there is a delay. At the same time, local post office send me an email that they will actually deliver it soon.
Later on the same day I got another email with the information that DHL courrier could not reach me, therefore did not deliver, as if it was my responsibility to miss it.
Within an hour, Posti sent me an email that the backpack is ready to be picked up, which we did ourselves.
It was my first experience ordering something from the company. So far, definitely not the best one :)
The backpack seems quite cool, so thank you for that, but would suggest to review the customer journay.

Disappointing Experience - Poor Quality and Customer Service

Received a defective item and was offered 20% off a future purchase—which doesn’t mean much since I bought it during a sale at the same discount. I can just wait for another sale. No real resolution, poor customer service. Won’t be buying from them ever again.

Not so great experience

Purchased the Bergen pro on the 6th April and I still haven't received it over 3 weeks later.

Customer service sent me a new one and that one still hasn't arrived, when flagged to the advisor it still hasn't arrived and I need it by the 1st I was told to "cross my fingers it arrives in time"

I really am sad and unfortunately I wouldn't order from here in the future because of this

If you live in the UK I would not order as they seem to have issues with customs and getting the items to royal mail.
