Review of Durability Issues with Luggage Set

30 reviews between Aug 29, 2023 and Sep 16, 2023.

This luggage review highlights the durability issues of a set of suitcases, including broken zippers, handle, and wheels. Despite some positive features such as lightweight and maneuverability, the overall quality and longevity of the product are questioned. The orange color and ample packing space receive praise, but the lack of lock and difficulty in closing the suitcase are noted drawbacks. The review also mentions the customer's frustration with the warranty claim process and inability to get the item fixed.

  • Great suitcase

    Great suitcase for personal and business travel. Made it very well through a 2 week stint through Europe, and then domestic flights as well.
    Pros: hardsided (vs. cloth) reduces chance of bringing a bed bug home, unusual color is easy to spot on luggage conveyer, fairly lightweight, roomier than expected, very easy to maneuver over smooth/slick surfaces, and has been durable, outside washes pretty easily with a Scotch pad and soapy water.
    Cons: while fairly lightweight, it still has a bit more weight than some others. Handle feels a little flimsy, but there has been no problems with it, so maybe it's sturdier than you think. Harder to walk with it over carpet (better to tilt it and use only 2 wheels then).
    Overall: great quality for the cost - would definitely buy one again.

  • Not bad overall

    I love this case for the most part. Great color, seems to hold up well through airport manhandling. My only issue is that the bag doesn't have a lock on it! I don't think I've seen a bag that doesn't have locks on it. I was kind of shocked.

  • Not durable

    I ordered these last minute for a trip. They are lightweight and good sizes. Unfortunately, after one trip (via airplane), they were all banged up and looked very worn. One even had a crack. Not durable.

    • Ok luggage

      This luggage was used on one -round-trip and held up but I doubt it will be long lasting. It came through with a few small dents. In general, for the price, it is suitable though flimsy.

    • Poor Quality -handle break’s easily

      Poorly designed handle breaks easily. Customer support does not provide any help. their 10year warranty is worth nothing as they refuse to fix any issues after only a few weeks of use.

    • Stylish, Durable, and Easy to Maneuver

      The hardside shell of this suitcase is incredibly durable. It has withstood the bumps and jostles of travel, keeping my belongings safe and secure.
      The 24-inch size offers ample space for packing everything I need for my trips, whether it's a weekend getaway or a longer adventure. I can fit a surprising amount of items while still adhering to airline size restrictions.

    • Broke after ~4 uses over 13 months and Amazon won’t process a warranty to fix or replace

      Product broke after ~4 domestic trips over 13 months. As you’ll see in the picture there are now exposed screws so if we attempt to use again it will really start to fall apart. Spent 40 minutes on the phone with Amazon to file a warranty claim which they don’t have a process for. They couldn’t even process a replacement. At the end couldn’t even provide what I should do next thus I am writing this review to warn against buying anything from Amazon Basics if you want it to last longer than the Amazon return period (because you won’t be able to get it fixed based on my experience). Very frustrating!

    • Works well

      This luggage rolls like a dream. I found this piece perfect for carry-on. It was the right size and was able to accommodate all of my needs for a three night/four day stay. I recommend hand roll travel bags. Armed with these I was able to maximize space to the point where I could also fit some shoes in.
      I’m very happy with this luggage. It’s nice and sturdy.

    • Got the job done

      The suitcase not only survived my 2 weeks in Japan, it was a piece of cake with it. It was within JRail’s size restrictions, so I could put it in the overhead rack on the bullet trains easily. The wheels did a pretty good job of keeping it going over uneven pavement and streets. The hard case saved some of the souvenirs we brought back for sure. After getting handled and jostled for two weeks, there were a couple scuffs and scratches but I was surprised at how well it didn’t get very banged up at all.

      My only gripe is that the handle doesn’t extend as far as I’d like it to have - it made it a little hard to maneuver when I had another bag on the suitcase.

    • Haven't traveled yet, but concerned

      After looking them over, the quality is not looking so good. Also have read people having issues with zippers and wheels, I'm hoping we don't, a lot of money wasted if these turn out to be junk!

    • Top handle broke (not telescoping handle.)

      The suitcase was used about ten times before the handle broke. It's very hard to pick up without that handle. No replacement is available. I purchased it for $65 five years ago. Now $110.

    • It looks fine

      Had been using a soft-sided Samsonite. Checked all the boxes. Bought this one because thought it would look more up-to-date and streamlined. which it does. Here's what it "doesn't" ! It doesn't close easily. difficult to line the "top" up over the bottom. Think it's a "weight thing". the top, being net bags, cannot hold anything of weight. Otherwise it moves easily enough and looks fine.

      Sturdy luggage but I ordered the 2 piece set and instead of the large and medium being delivered, the large and small sizes were brought. Disappointing but there's no time to make a return/exchange.

    • Zipper failed on first flight

      The first time I flew with this suit case, the zipper failed. When I went to pick it up from the luggage carousel, the zipper was completely pulled apart. Miraculously, none of my belongings were lost. The zipper is not broken because i was able to get it work again. It just completely failed at some point during the trip. Before I could use this suit case for the return flight, I had to go to Walmart and buy a web strap to prevent it from failing again. I can no longer trust this bag for air travel and I am going to try and return it to Amazon.
