WARRANTY ISSUES

Q. What do I do if the bag is defective on arrival?
A. We carefully inspect all bags prior to shipment to make sure they are in good conditions. Unfortunately sometimes we might miss out of tiny details. If it is deemed defective, you can send the bag back for us to replace with a new unit.

Q. Do your bags come with the manufacturer's warranty?
A. Since we order out the stocks directly from the factories/suppliers, we are unable to offer the official manufacturer's warranty for each of the products we sell. However, we do offer our own standard one year manufacturer's warranty. We have a saying that goes, “If you take care of your bag, your bag will take care of your stuffs!”

Q. Do you accept exchanges or returns?
A. Here at BAGSTRA, we strive to ensure customer satisfaction and if you truly aren’t satisfied with our bags/products, we accept returns and exchanges within 14 days.

We do hope that you comply with the policies that we have in regards to the Warranty Claim Policy. Please check here to view on the Warranty Claim Policy.

ORDERING AND PAYMENT ISSUES

Q. What types of payments do you accept?
A. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal for local and worldwide customers.

Q. I think I was billed twice!
A. It’s possible but you’re most likely just seeing additional authorizations. Did you have to try placing your order more than once? If the charges on your card are listed as “pending,” they’ll fall off in couple of days. We know this whole thing can be super confusing so give us a call, and we’ll double check! +60 16 693 3810.

Q. I have already made a transaction order? But I saw something else I like! Can I change my mind/order?
A. We want to say yes but we have to say no. Unfortunately, once your order is placed, we cannot make any changes to it. But hey, it won’t hurt to get another awesome product from us!

Q. Will I get charged sales tax?
A. As of now, our top management has decided to be generous enough to absorb any form of taxes imposed on the bag within Malaysia. However, for orders shipping to an International address: International orders are subject to duties, customs, and value added taxes that aren’t reflected in our prices. You will be responsible for paying these charges upon receipt of your order. We are required by law to disclose full value of the package contents and cannot alter this value. Check with your local Customs office for those charges. Some countries may charge an additional handling fee for delivery within that country.
 

DELIVERY & SHIPPING ISSUES

Q. Dude, Where’s my bag?
A. It’s either here, there, or on its way! Upon confirmation of order, we would be shipping your bag/product off to you within 2-3 business days. A tracking number will be sent to your email/sms.
Don’t know your tracking number? Give us a call/email and we’ll get to the bottom of this.

Q. When is my bag going to ship?
A. Orders shipped within Malaysia are shipped 1-2 business days after the order is placed, depending on what time the order was
placed. After that, please allow 2-4 business days to arrive for domestic orders and at least 7-14 business days to arrive for international orders. If there’s any delay in the shipment by the courier service for any form of reason, this time frame is beyond our control.

The exact timing of shipment all depends on how many orders are in line in front of yours. Oh and just to be super clear, “business” means Monday through Friday and excludes most Malaysian holidays.

Q. Can I have you ship to a location other than my billing address?
A. Upon filling in the forms during your payment process, you can indicate where you want your bag/product to be shipped. Just fill in the shipping address details and we will ship it to you!

Q. What is the cost of shipping and handling?
A. We have a formula to calculate based on the weight of the bag along with a little additional weight for the packaging. Shipping cost varies according to location within Malaysia as well as distance of country from Malaysia. The nearer you are to Malaysia, the cheaper the shipping cost it will be.

BAG MAINTENANCE ISSUES

Q. My bag is lookin’ a little dingy, what I can do?
A. So your bag is no longer looking its best and you want to make it sparkling new again. We recommend spot cleaning for your bag.
•Take a damp towel or sponge with a mild detergent and wipe clean.
•For greasier, more stubborn dirt – try plain dish soap or a cleaner like simple green.
•Can you wash your bag in the washer?  We do NOT recommend it.
 Why not?
•The fabrics have waterproofing coatings on the inside that can be washed away in the washer.
•Some features of the bag might bleed or run.
•It will void the warranty.
NEVER put your bag in the dryer. Ever. You will cry, we will cry, everyone involved will cry…
