Avoid unless in Australia
Ordered their wallet, which was delivered promptly from a UK address. The product isn't bad, well constructed just way larger than expected, way larger than a credit card or similar products from Belroy.
I requested a return which they agreed to, but offering no alternative but a return to Australia. Tracking to Australia would have made the return more expensive than the wallet, so it was sent back using standard mail. The wallet "never arrived". The company "conveniently" recognizes the problem of only having one return address, interesting tactic in 2025. Avoid unless you're sure the product is 100% right.

Hi there,
Thank you for your review. For clarity, our return policy - which is publicly available on our website, clearly states that **all returns must be sent to our Australia return center**, regardless of where the order was originally shipped from.
In this case, the wallet was returned without tracking, which means we had no way to verify delivery. Without tracking confirmation, we cannot issue a refund, as this requirement protects both our customers and our team from unverified or lost returns. **Once we receive the returned item, we will proceed with the refund.**
We understand this situation was frustrating, but our process was followed exactly as outlined in our policy. If you have any further questions, we’re here to help.
Warm regards,
ALPAKA Customer Service
Not worth the premium prices
I believed the advertising and thought Alpaka were a premium manufacturer. This led to me spending nearly £40 on their 8L packing cube.
The product seemed great initially but after using it for only 3 or 4 trips the inner seem failed. I contacted customer services and got a reply in minutes, a very promising start. This begun an email conversation that kept going back and forth with the conversation now being 28 emails.
On multiple instances they asked for information that I had already provided. Then, after all this time and effort I receive an email stating they would offer me a gift card because my item was no longer stocked. However, the gift card value is approximately £26, a fraction of the price I paid.
I questioned whether a refund would be more appropriate but according to Alpaka that cannot be done. So the premium price isn't worth it. I'll stick to cheap items and just replace them when/if they break.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.
To clarify, we have **refunded you the full product price** for your 8L Packing Cube. The remaining amount you’re referring to is related to **taxes paid directly to the UK government (HMRC)** at checkout. These taxes are not collected or retained by ALPAKA, so we are unable to refund them once they have been remitted.
We understand this situation has been frustrating, especially with the lengthy email thread, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Your experience is important to us, and we appreciate your patience while we worked to resolve it.
If there’s anything more we can assist with, please feel free to reach out — we’re here to help.

I submitted a Warranty claim 40+ days ago. I received an immediate response, and informed me that I have submitted everything necessary for them to provide me with a clear path to satisfaction. After an additional 15+ emails, they responded with a gift card to replace my broken bag. Ultimately, this was a satisfactory resolution; however, it was very arduous to obtain this final resolution.

Hi Simon,
Your package was seized by USPS under their counterfeit postage regulation, an action entirely beyond our control. We have resolved this issue directly and reshipped your Japan Limited Edition order at our cost, along with offering a gift card as a goodwill gesture to compensate for the trouble caused. We kindly ask that you update your review to reflect this resolution.

Hi Jamie, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. 🙏 We’ve already escalated this issue to our shipping team and will continue the conversation with you via email to get this resolved as quickly as possible.
Cost you more to send product back - Avoid
Terrible customer service and customer journey, selling products into the UK without a returns policy in the UK meaning you have to send back to Australia
Avoid this brand - it will cost you more to return the item than the cost of buying it.

Awful Returns
The Alpaka Bravo tote bag itself is fine, but it’s just not my style. The real issue is with Alpaka as a company. Shipping was slow, and when I went to return the bag, I discovered they’re based in Australia. That means any return would be at my own expense, shipping all the way back there which costs a fortune, just to get a refund.
A warning to fellow UK customers: don’t buy from them unless you’re 100% sure you’re going to keep what you order. The bag might be okay, but dealing with shipping and returns is a complete headache.

Not happy and disappointed
I ordered from London and to be honest, I am disappointed with the Elements Tote Medium that Ive got. I received it with a ripped packaging which caused a small tear on the outer bag and has a small dirt. I emailed the support team but unfortunately dont have time to email them back so I just throw in away. Im 5'6" and Medium size seems very small. Planning to raise a dispute on my bank to get a refund and overall its not actually a great product.

Ho acquistato uno zip pouch con velcro dove sulla foto del prodotto sul sito c'è una patch con il nome dell'azienda. Tralasciando il fatto che dal punto di vista di marketing è chiaramente meglio che la marca di un prodotto sia visibile, è assurdo che un brand che vuole vendere prodotti di qualità ad alto prezzo dimentichi una patch del costo di meno di un dollaro.

Great bag, Amazing quality with fast hassle free delivery
I was very sceptical when I saw the reviews for this company but being the impulsive buyer I am it was already too late for me... however my experience has been nothing like the one's described on this page.
I placed my oder for the 'Elements Tech Case Mini' on the 5th of July. At purchase I was reminded this is an international sale and could take for 10-15 days to arrive which was fine. My order was shipped on the 8th of July and arrived on the 18th so only 13 days from ordering to holding the product in my hand.
Then onto the bag itself... I mean i'm no expert in bags but I can tell you the quality is higher than what I would personally have expected for £22. The materials feel like good quality, long lasting materials and tbh the bag looks exactly like the ones pictured, the stitching looks good the inside lining is soft as to not cause damage to my devices. Even the zips look great and are possibly even waterproof ?
My bag came with two straps, which again I was not expecting, one standard and one with a clip for easier release and just as with the bag the quality feels great to me...
I don't usually post reviews but seeing how much negative feedback this company had I thought it was only fair I shared my experience too. Not sure if people before were just unlucky or maybe impatient? but yeah my experience was 10/10 I'd definitely buy another product from this company

Very happy
I’m really happy with my shopping experience with Alpaka. My bag is good quality, as described and exactly what I was looking for. Shipping was to the UK was prompt, tracking updates reliable, and there were no hidden additional charges. Most of the negative reviews here appear to be about shipping but that absolutely wasn’t my experience. Very satisfied customer.

Bad Customer Service
Had a poor experience with the customer service wherein they are refusing to provide a VAT Invoice despite charging 20% VAT from customers.

Hi Manish.
Thanks for your feedback, and we're sorry for the frustration.
Please rest assured that ALPAKA complies with all tax laws, and we do not engage in tax fraud. If VAT was charged, it’s because we’re required to collect it based on your country’s regulations.
At the moment, we’re unable to issue formal VAT invoices due to system limitations, but we’re working on improving this. If you need a breakdown of your order with tax details, feel free to reach out to us at hello@alpakagear.com]—we’ll be happy to help.
Thank you again for your feedback.
Disappointed with Customer Service and…
Disappointed with Customer Service and Shipping – Not Worth It
I had a disappointing experience with this company. A day after I placed my order, the exact same item went on flash sale on Amazon (USA). I contacted customer service to ask for a price match, especially since my package hadn’t even left their warehouse in China. They refused, only offering store credit after I received the item—which felt unreasonable.
Shipping took a full two weeks, which is pretty slow these days.
As for the product: the bag itself is okay, but the strap is extremely cheap and uncomfortable—so much so that I had to order a replacement strap just to be able to use it. Honestly, not worth the hassle or the price.
Wouldn’t recommend based on my experience

Hi Luke,
Thank you for your feedback—though we're sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations.
We understand your frustration regarding the price difference. While we don’t offer price matching with third-party platforms like Amazon, we did offer store credit as a goodwill gesture. We’re sorry this didn’t feel fair from your perspective.
In terms of shipping, our **standard delivery time is 8–15 business days**, and we do our best to meet that window. We understand that waiting can be frustrating and apologize if the transit time felt too long.
We're also sorry to hear the strap didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback has been noted and passed along to our product team as we continue to improve.
If you're open to it, we’d love the chance to make things right. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at Hello@alpakagear.com.

Great quality, very satisfied
I have bought a small sling bag and zip pouch pro. Very nice products in a durable material. I like the easy magnetic click on/off system in the sling back, original and cool feature.
To be honest im a bit shocked about their general rating in here, my experience with them have been great.
Shipping to Denmark takes a while, but it has been a nice experience both times i have ordered from them.

Alpaka Gear: Now You See It, Now You Never Will
Ordered a bag from Alpaka and I’m starting to think it’s made from the rarest material on Earth: pure imagination. The Royal Mail tracking number they gave me is as real as Bigfoot—just vibes, no delivery.
Tried contacting Alpaka directly, but you’ve got a better chance of getting a response from a Magic 8 Ball. Turns out, the only way to make them notice you exist is by publicly roasting them. So here I am, lighting the bonfire.
To whoever runs customer service: maybe try responding to emails before people have to throw hands via a Trustpilot review. And please, for the love of all things fuzzy, don’t bother replying with “We apologise for any inconvenience”. I don’t want corporate limbo-speak. I want my damn bag.
Change your attitude, sharpen up the service, and who knows maybe your gear will stop vanishing into the alpaka dimension.
Until then, I remain: bagless, faithless, and mildly furious.
