So far, customer service said, "I'm not sure. I've never heard of anything like that, I will forward your request to marketing."

I'd be interested in participating, for sure.

And...they're coming out with a diaper bag??? I contacted them awhile back before I ordered my custom bag and when I suggested they should really consider making a diaper bag, the rep responded with a "whatever lady" tone and said that he would forward my suggestion to the design department. Mabye so many other parents contacted them with the same suggestion that it finally dawned on them "hey, we could make some money off this idea." Took 'em long enough.

I emailed them this week about the upcoming diaper bag. This is their response:

"Hi Sara,

Thank you for contacting Timbuk2! We are in the beginning stages of the design process on a new diaper bag! In fact we just finished the first prototype the other day. It has a ways to go but it is already pretty cool!
I can't estimate a launch date in this early stage, but keep checking in with us at www.timbuk2.com. Thanks for your interest and support!

Regards,
Laura Thomas
Customer Service Representative

Just my two cents...

I was contacted by someone in their marketing dept, and with the help of another member here who was kind enough to forward me some emails she had with timbuk2 on the subject before, I hope I formulated a compelling enough email to them.

I'm still slowly (on their part) going back and forth with them on this. However, in a recent email she noted something I thought you ladies might find of interest:

"We are coming out with new diaper inserts/organizers for our messenger bags but it still won’t be for a little while."

I wonder if it would fit into an existing messenger bag? That'd be nice!

Anyway, I will keep you posted as to co-op or no-op as soon as we figure it out. =)

Hello! I received notice from timbuk2 that they will sell to us under their corporate program. The discount appears to be 20% across the board (accessories as well), for 199 bags or less. LOL. We'd need to have an order of 25 bags minimum to fulfill the requirement. They said it would not be a problem that it would be 25 unique bags. I haven't hammered out the details as far as dierct payment by each person or more likely, one payment, shipping, etc. or bag fabric type, but assuming it is totally customizable, who is still interested at the 20% discount? If it looks like we'd have 25 bags I'll start a yahoo group and post the price list so we can move forward!
