What matters when shipping backpacks

Backpacks are light but take space if shipped stuffed with paper, so ask for them folded without filler where possible and combine them with stationery and clothing in one parcel.

Capacity and fabric

Check the capacity in litres and the laptop sleeve size in inches before ordering, and read whether the fabric is water-resistant. For school bags, watch the empty weight, a padded back and adjustable straps.

School bag or travel bag

A school bag needs a padded back, wide straps and balanced weight, while a daily commuting bag needs a laptop compartment and strong zips. Do not buy a bag bigger than its owner needs, because a young child tires of a roomy bag even when it is empty.

Zips and stitching

What fails most in backpacks is the zip and the stitching where the straps join. Look in the store photos at the zip size and how the strap is reinforced where it meets the bag, and read buyer reviews on durability after months of use. On arrival, try every zip before the parcel is closed for shipping.

Before the school year

Order school bags well before the year begins, because popular models sell out in Turkish stores in the back-to-school season. Prepare the child’s name and height, estimate the weight of the books, and avoid a bag that is heavy when empty, since its weight adds to the books.
