Ginx Neutral Newbie May 10, 2009 Share May 10, 2009 If u have a SQ cabin crew friend, get them to follow u to buy.. they get good 20-30% discounts. Sumtimes on offer can get 50% off. xD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashingd Neutral Newbie May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 Not sure if you're aware, but American Tourister is made and warrantied by Samsonite. Models are exactly the same in built and size with Samsonsite...just a lower priced (different logo) version of Samsonite. I got mine from Mustafa...which was cheaper than its Samsonite cousin by 50% and 20% cheaper than other shops carrying the American Tourister model. fyi...I recently got the wheels changed at Samsonite's service centre at Shaw Centre...no hassle and all done within 3 days.

Babyt 4th Gear May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 samsonite saleswoman that time told me try not to buy luggages with 4 wheels coz due to forceful dropping of the luggages, those wheels tend to break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashingd Neutral Newbie May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 Just to add on...both the Samsonite (same model) and American Tourister carry the same period of warranty....mine carries a 3yr warranty... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miketow Neutral Newbie May 11, 2009 Share May 11, 2009 Baggage Handlers in some countries like to "KOPE" Samsonite luggage. its quite sad to lose your personal belongings b/c thieves just want the silly bag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The samsonite black label series also come with protective cover. It's more like show piece than luggage bag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dissident Neutral Newbie May 12, 2009 Share May 12, 2009 hmm.. Samsonite dun make their luggages as good as they used to be. if you can expand your budget, try Tumi, u wont be disappointed. It is also quite understating if you travel 2nd/3rd world country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toapayohkid 1st Gear May 12, 2009 Share May 12, 2009 samsonite got guarantee one right? can even send for repair? other brands got this svc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kxbc Turbocharged May 12, 2009 Share May 12, 2009 No such problem so far. Or maybe I lucky. Or maybe my Samsonite already 10 years old. But I would have to say my Samsonite is durable (I travel to very very 3rd world countries at least once a month and the handlers there really anyhow handle your luggage). Wheels still good. Fabric cover not even a scratch. Zip okay. Lock okay. Still looks pretty new. And I bought it for $90 at Robinson's during one of those sale. This luggage really sibei wu hua.

Blueray Hypersonic May 12, 2009 Share May 12, 2009 also have a Delsey that is 10yo and is working well, just that a lot of scratches everywhere. still prefer the old simple rectangle design, nowadays mostly "spinners" and can cost $500 !!! for that price can AirAsia somewhere nearby liao ... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
