1/7 Restock & Low Quantities Notes

Our next debut and restock is this Friday 1/7 at 7:00am Pacific Time. Want to see everything that'll be debuted and restocked in one spot? Visit the 1/7 Restock page. Have questions? Ask in the comments (you'll be notified via email when we respond!)

This is certainly a newsworthy restock: various bags in Moab 200d will be stocked for the first time, along with more accessories in Cerylon 210d.

That said, the biggest news might be the Low Quantity Restocks, which include The Parental Unit, Guide's Edition Synik/Synapse/Paragons, P.I.K.A. Pouches, Western Flyers and even Empire Builders. (Jump down to the Low Quantity Restock list by clicking here!)

Low Quantity Restock List

LIST LAST UPDATED 1/13 AT 12:00PM

Below is a list of medium and low quantity items that will be restocked on Friday at 7:00am PT, along with the restocks listed above. These bags are typically a mix of order cancellations and returns. This time around, there's more low quantity restocks than usual for a variety of reasons: we just finished year-end inventory counts, haven't had a low quantity restock in a while now, and pushed what was to be a late December restock to January.

Remember that Countron (our internal system) will automatically combine orders with the same shipping address placed between 7:00am PT and 12:00pm PT.

That means that, if you place an order around 7:00am and place another order at 9:00am, Countron will automatically combine the two orders and refund and remove the second shipping charge, ensuring you only pay one shipping charge. We designed the system so that happens automatically (we don’t want you to pay more shipping than necessary!) so no need to request that. It is important to note that we will begin shipping orders at 12:00pm that day and changes can’t be made after that.

Why are we explaining this, you might ask? Some folks who are interested in particular Low Quantity Restocks may choose to place one order per item to be able to checkout more quickly, resulting in multiple orders being placed. We want to acknowledge that some folks find that fast-past process fun, others don't or find it frustrating to say the least, and others yet don't mind much either way. By definition, Low Quantity Restocks are returns and cancellations, so despite the small yet mighty company we are, there isn't much we can do about the fact that they are low quantities. We figure it's best to offer these items rather than not offering them: that way our business can offer bags for purchase that a lot of hard work and quality materials went into, and at least some folks will be happy to get some items that they otherwise wouldn't have been able to!

This was a frustrating re-stock. I spent a lot of time refreshing the site but was able to order the items I wanted. The following week I got an email that the three Iberian items I ordered (Spiff Kit, TSS, and clear bottom Stuff Sack) were cancelled because they didn’t actually have them.

Hi Erik! Thank you for taking the time to stop by to drop a comment. We hear your pain. We’ve had time to process the feedback we have gotten (quite a few people shared your sentiment), and we are ironing out the processes now so that we can make the shopping experience as smooth as possible for everyone in the future. Stay tuned for more updates on restocks and low quantity restocks in the near future!

Daniel - January 10, 2022

I can’t wait for your next restock! I mean, I can, obviously – and will! My family got me a gift card for Christmas so I can get the Synik 30 and make my backpack dreams come true – but I took too long to pick between the final two contestants for color, so now I have to wait again!

Thanks for what you do!

TOM BIHN replied:
We have something in the works :) hopefully you can get what you want very soon!

Gloria - January 8, 2022

Just FYI: You have a maker’s bag listed here as Nebulous Grey 525 Ballistic/Viridian 200 Halcyon – while I personally would love a teal/viridian halcyon, that bag’s interior is 210 ballistic. :)

Good catch 😅

Chris - January 8, 2022

The low quantity restock was a major bummer. Already had my shipping info and credit card saved, refreshed browser every few seconds from 7-7:17, trying to get a wilderness Brain bag. It finally showed, added to cart, pressed complete order seconds later, and it was sold out. I understand low quantity restocks are always going to be a low probability gamble. Gambles are good when you have a chance for something you want, but if you lose it’s no big deal. It would have been no big deal if everything loaded by 7:01 and I didn’t get it, but as it was it was a pretty negative experience. Perhaps considering restocking smaller batches that will load in 1-2 minutes from the designated time.

Hi Chris! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We definitely under estimated how much time it will take for the website to update for one bulk upload. Going forward, we plan on doing more frequent low quantity restocks to avoid this issue. Thank you for being a TOM BIHN customer and let us know if there is anything else we can help with.

a.k. - January 7, 2022

I spent 90 minutes refreshing the page – trying for the Deep Blue Medium cafe bag… congrats to whomever got it. I thought it would all go live at once but I guess each product was updated individually? I did end up with another item I wanted, so I’m glad for that.

TOM BIHN replied:
Hi there! Sorry to hear you didn’t end up with everything you wanted. It was actually one big upload, but the system couldn’t refresh all at once since we had so many low quantity items (I know, frustrating!!). Going forward, we hope to do more of these low quantity restocks, rather than all at once, to avoid this issue.
