I've already designed a Custom Eula X-Small messenger bag, and want to know if it will come with a padded shoulder strap? Seems that some bags do come with a padded straps, while others don't--and this one might be an exception since it's custom. Also my online research seems to show that 2008 bags should come with padded straps, while older ones don't.

Does anyone know of anybody in San Francisco who can do custom aftermarket work on my bag?
I'd like to have MOLLE webbing put on the inside of my bag--(strapping for attaching military style modular pouches -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOLLE_(military))

thanks!

Hello,

My order number is 5164764.

I ordered a custom messenger 11 days ago and I'm still unable to track it on your site.

Have sent several emails to customer service, response is extremely slow if any and a vague reply like "processed, should be shipping soon" and "it should not take that long" is not reassuring at all.

No one knows the exact status of my order, has it even been made yet?

According to http://www.timbuk2.com/wordpress_cms/customer-service/shipping-information/ , bags ship in 3 business days and custom orders do not require additional processing time.

I understand slight delays happen but it has been 11 days which is almost 2 weeks! And to make matters worst, delivery to Ohio will take an additional 5-7 days.

I have heard and read good things about this company, that gave me the confidence of making my first Timbuk2 a custom made one.

However my first personal experience is proving to be extremely disappointing one, I'm regret not purchasing a common one instead, it would have been way cheaper and probably a lot less frustrating as well.

The entire transaction would have taken at least 3 weeks, assuming it ships by the end of this week which is tomorrow and reaches me without any further issues.

Lastly, I will be starting work without the bag which I was so looking forward to and should have arrived by now.

When will detachable reflector tails become available again on custom laptop messenger bags? A few days ago I was able to select them as an option. But not today. Thanks!

Well, the Build Your Own Bag thing had Large laptop messenger bags available yesterday, but today that option was gone. I'm just wondering when they'll be available again. Because my laptop width is like 14.5" which is 0.3" away from the medium bag...

How long are the shoulder straps for a large custom laptop messenger bag? I find it extremely annoying any time your looking for a messenger bag online its always a toss up if the strap will be long enough.

Hooray! Large Laptop Messenger bags can be custom-made again!

But...where did the orange liner go? When will it return?

Thanks,

Grant

I really like the silver/lavender/silver color combination for the metro messenger ballistic fabric fabric bag. how can I get this for the regular messenger bag? was it ever offered for the messenger bag/will the lavender be added to custom sometime? thanks!

I noticed that the custom small laptop messenger says it fits a 13" laptop while the regular small messenger bag fits a 12". Is this right? I have a macbook that definitely does not fit in the stock bag and wanted to make sure before getting a custom job.

is it possible to get a custom lex pack with the organizer pocket on the front as opposed to the back? what about a center divider?

I ordered a custom Lex Pack size large in light green/slate blue/black. It's beautiful...but I'm 5'4'' and it's HUGE. I feel so foolish because it's much too large for me and I know there is no return policy and I don't want to sell it on Ebay...

Does anyone have any ideas on how to sell it so I can get a medium?

P.S. I know I should have taken a better look at the dimensions, no need to berate me on being dumb.

Any chance you might make a bag or case for a Sony PRS 505 ebook reader?

On Flickr I've recently seen a few custom messengers that have a yellow liner and I haven't seen that color in the bag builder over the last year. Are there any plans to bring that color back out?

Would the SF store have access to that color for a one off custom?

I have a zeropergallon patch that I would like to have stitched into the bag, would it be possible to send it in and have it sewn into the center panel of my "dream" laptop messenger bag?

I have read the post that is 5 months old saying that you don't, but I wasn't certain if you have started doing that for a nominal fee after seeing the flickr post about how someone had theirs sewn prior to the liner being installed at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryanhenb...

There is obviously a great deal of interest in this, and I think many opportunities and options would be opened up if you offered the option to have a patch or reflective material to be stitched in per customer request.

As a sidenote, how does the white ballistic nylon hold up / is it moderately simple to clean if it gets dirty?

I am fantasizing about a large Laptop Messenger with black/white/navy blue panels with a blue strap and white logo. Unless a nice new dark custom fabric comes in, then I might swap that in for the black. Gauging by the colors... I think the zpg patch would be right at home in that color scheme. It's now been over a month and a half of color swapping and trying to decide. There are so many choices... it's REALLY hard to narrow down.

i want to order a custom built messenger and i wanted one with one of the "limited' fabrics in the center panel. on the builder, when i select a limited fabric it deletes the clip holder for a blinky light when commuting, i was wondering if this is just logistical or if i were to have a custom panel in the center it would indeed delete the loop for the light to clip to.

Is there any way to get a laptop insert and a divided compartment?

I've been looking for a good pack for my dog so he can carry his own water and such while we're hiking and out and about. I recently found one that has a fantastic design (it doesn't look like a repuposed fanny pack, which is what most dog backpacks seem to be) made by a company called Ruff Wear. They have terrible color selections and I've emailed their customer service team to see if custom colors or other colors are possible, and the response was that they won't be updating their colors for a least a year. Their packs are made in the Philippines.

My question is, can Timbuk2 make a dog backpack? www.ruffwear.com is the website and the "Approach" is the name of the bag I'm interested in. I know you guys make awesome products that would be perfect for my rough and tumble 4-legged-friend, and I'd love to purchase one made in the United States. Is this something you are capable of? I don't see why Ruffwear won't help me out with some decent colors, but I suspect it is because their packs are made overseas and are probably purchased in bulk.

If I'd like a left-handed bag would I have to order a custom one, or are there some available retail? Thanks

I'm considering getting my second Timbuk2 messenger bag. My first one was great! I've got a medium ballistic messenger bag. I kind of want something bigger though -- not that the medium doesn't hold my stuff. I'm envisioning something that would be on the big side for everyday use, but able to hold lots of stuff when I want to (I'm thinking like grocery shopping...which I'd need LOTS of room for). I'm considering the XL; I'm a pretty good sized guy, so I'm not so worried about being dwarfed by it, and I actually prefer it when my medium one is loose and kind of empty (it gets lumpy and uncomfortable when I get it really full). Could anyone with an XL comment on that plan; is it going to be way too big and cumbersome when I don't need all the extra space?

Second, I'm really liking the idea of the center divider option. I've already seen a few pictures and read some about it in other posts here, but I have a few more specific and clarifying questions. When you don't want the bag divided, you can velcro it shut and you have the whole big open area in the bag like the divider's not even there, right? Then, when you do open it up, how far does it stick out? Is it like a small pocket or is it like the size of half the bag (say, something you could get a nice, thick phone book or two into)?

My last question is about the X-Pac fabric; I'm somewhat confused by what I've read about it. Is it the slightly reflective stuff that's been discontinued? Basically, it's just really strong, light, and waterproof, no? I've seen a bag or two in stores I think might be made of X-Pac, but I'm not sure; is it kind of dull, not shiny like the ballistic?

I think that's it for now. Thanks a bunch for any help!

I will soon go to Pasadena, CA from Europe. Is it possible to order a custom bag on your site and get it in a store in Pasadena?
