Overland Donner Bag

[T. Lynn]

Ok, after reading all the threads on it and seeing the pictures, I just broke down and ordered one.

I decided on black because I'm always wearing my black jeans and black would really go with anything.

I ordered it from ebags and use the google checkout for the first time. Is ebags pretty quick with shipping?

It would be great for the Donner Equipment bag users to post pictures of theirs. I'd love to see what you stuff where. Can't wait to see this bag in person. The two bottle holders should be great for carrying drinks for DD and myself while on school field trips and such. I always get stuck carrying her drink so I thought this would be a big pluc.

Mine arrived in the mail today. It's even more roomy than I had anticipated. There were places to put things that I didn't know were there based on website description. The fabric seems quite durable too.

I ordered mine from Rei. I was tempted to get a more "girly" pattern, but I opted for the conservative brown, which is still quite attractive. I thought that it would be safe if DH ended up carrying it; he wouldn't have to feel as if he was holding my purse.

Of course I haven't used it at Disney yet but will in April. However, based on my initial impression I would believe it to be quite useful.

Now you have me all excited to get mine. I just ordered it yesterday so I'm sure I'll be waiting awhile.

I ordered mine from REI also. I got the black with the daisy lining in it. I have used it since the day it arrived!

I love it!!!!!

I have a 5 month old, it has been great for an everyday bag to do errands with DS. Here is what is in mine so far:

Bottle of water
Empty baby bottle
powder formula packet
Small pack of wipes
Two diapers
Small coach wallet
Envelope of coupons
dental floss
Chap stick
Lip stick
Pill box
Pen
Sun glasses
Pocket calendar

I am going to WDW in 15 days! I already know I got the perfect bag for my trip. I wear mine across my chest, which works well carrying the carseat.
It also looks great with the strap short as a shoulder bag.

Enjoy it!

There was another thread on the boards about this bag. If you register on shoebuy.com you save 10% off your first purchase, and if you use the Discount code save10, you save another 10%.

I registered but haven't purchased my bag yet. I don't know how long the discount code of <save10> is good for. The site says that shipping is free, however I don't know about the turnaround time for orders.

There was also a code for shoebuy to save 20% but I got it from ebags and saved $10 using google checkout. The difference is mear pennies. I was just wondering the shipping time from ebags since that is where I purchased it.

I'm so excited to see it now.

Hi, please let me know what you think when you get your bag. I may have missed it, what color did you order?

Thanks

I decided on the regular black since it will go with everything.

I just bought my Overland Donner Bag from shoebuy.com. I used coupon code MARCH07 for a 20% discount...then I registered on their site and saved another 10%. Final cost $37.40. Pretty good, IMO.

 

[T. Lynn]

What color did you decide on?

 

[DMLewis75]

I got the Sage w/the plum interior

 

[T. Lynn]

That was a pretty color. I hope shipping doesn't take too long because I'm so excited to get it.

Anyone know how long it takes from ebags using the google checkout?

I thought about canceling my order and getting it from Shoebuy. I'd save about $5 doing that but didn't know if it was really worth it. Any thoughts?

 

[JessieWoodyBuzz]

I ordered mine from shoebuy.com, too. Used the MARCH07 20% code and to sweeten the deal, I went thru http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?id=31781971 and earned 10% cash back.

I've always had super fast shipping w/ shoebuy.com and the ebates thing isn't a hoax. They really send a check!

 

[T. Lynn]

Hmmm, should I cancel my order with ebags and go with shoebuy? I'd be saving $5.

 

[dddisrunner]

I just ordered mine thru shoebuy too for $37.40 I cannot wait to see it!

 

[Cinderella's slipper]

I just ordered my bag through Shoebuy.com. Thanks for the hint about the code March07. I received 20% off and paid 37.40. Now I can't wait for it to arrive.

Hi, how does the ebate thing work? Have you received a cashback check from this site?

If you signup (free) at ebates.com everytime you shop at one of the stores listed on the ebates site you earn cash back in your ebates account. Once you earn $5 in "ebates" they mail you a check! Easy as that. There are no fees/solicitations, etc. If you haven't earned $5 during that quarter, your ebates carry over to the next quarter. Once you get to $5+ they mail you your money. They mail out checks quarterly. There are TONS and TONS (disneyshopping.com, shoebuy.com, gap.com for example) of super popular stores to earn "ebates" from.

In order to earn the money, you go to ebates.com, log in, then click the store link and it issues you a tracking cookie so once you make your purchase ebates credits your acct. You MUST get to the store thru ebates.com when you place your order or it wont give you credit.

I just received a check a few weeks ago for $12+. I always kick myself when I forget to go thru ebates now when I shop online.

Hope that helps!

I just ordered an Overland Donner on shoebuy as well! My first order so I got it for $37.40 shipped! Not too bad. I've been wanting this bag but waited until I could get it for less than $40.

Edited to add: I purchase the Baggallini sling messenger a few weeks ago and used it for the first time this weekend and I absolutely LOVE it. So nice to swing it back and forth without taking it off. Love, love , love that bag.
