All About Luggage

[loner]

Anyone has any idea where and when is Samsonite warehouse sales? (Was told its much cheaper to purchase luggage there)

[vlim]

just brought my samsonite luggage to repair the broken wheel at Singapore plaza..the sales rep told me as my luggage is a old model so got to indent the wheel from Hong Kong and will take a few weeks plus it will cost me $100 .....end up I bring my luggage to a repair shop at Geylang..$80 for 4 wheels ...emmm spoil my mood of the day.

[MMM]

Think HK is a good place to get Samsonite luggage especially at the City Gate factory outlet.


I just got another samsonite during our recent trip. It was the same model (with slight modifications) as what I got 3 yrs back from HK (parklane travel shop). It’s gg at $320 and the same model will cost me at least $460 during "warehouse" sale in Singapore at Suntec and $550 for "normal" price. I saw the same luggage when I sent mine for repair at Plaza Singapura.

So those travelling to HK might want to consider buying a luggage there.

Samsonite are usually quite lasting.

During Delsey warehouse sale, I overheard a guy saying that his luggage cannot tahan 2 US trips, etc.... and he is bent on buying a Delsey because it last :roll:

But my 3 yr old samsonite tahan at least 5 US trips and numerous regional travels and it is fully packed when I am back. As I usually bring a spare bag :oops: Only the expansion zip gave way so they fixed it for me FOC.

Err... maybe I should consider using my new luggage for my forthcoming US trip. Hubby had a really bad experience with the Delsey luggage this year during his US trip. That only lasted 2 times. :!: It's terrible to be overseas with a broken luggage.

Yah I think depends on the model as well.. my parents have a hardcase spinner and the bottom part cracked. Also the number lock will jump so you cannot find back the code.... I personally prefer to lock the luggage using external locks.

I once had a colleague (15 yrs ago), he was in his 20's then but he carries those hardcase brief case. Maybe he thinks that made him look more mature. So we travelled together for a trip. When he reached the hotel... he could not open his briefcase as it had number lock :!: So both of us spent the next 1 hour alternating trying from 000 to 999. I even suggested to him to use something to ply open his briefcase

I think if the wheels going to crack again after this repair...I am not going to send for repair again... :x ..not worth it..I think I should get another new one instead.

Samsonite luggage are known for its quality and they come at a price. I have been using Samsonite Xenon 360 Spinner Mobile Office for the past 1 year. It has four multi-directional wheels for easy mobility, padded laptop compartment for ultimate protection and 3 year warranty. Just right for $135.

Hi,


Need help. Looking for a luggage, middle size, wheels that can go 360.

Could any parents recommend brand that is good, can withstand rough handling. I'm not sure what's a good budget, maybe below $200?

TIA
