Shipping
We recommend that you use an insured service when purchasing postage to obtain proof of delivery. This will protect you against loss or damage in transit. Please send the package to:

Repair
The ORTLIEB USA repair team uses heat and pressure to mate a patch of similar material to the inside of the damaged product material, while replacing broken or damaged hardware with brand new components when requested.
Product repair processing may take up to 3 (three) business weeks from the time the item is received. This timeframe may vary due to daily or weekly business fluctuations; however, most repairs can be completed and ready for return within 1-2 (one to two) business weeks.
Your delivery
A flat rate $12.99 return shipping charge will be applied to your invoice. Your product will be returned to you via USPS or UPS when the repair has been completed and the invoice satisfied.
