Not spinner luggage experience but recent bad experience with new luggage
just before we went on vacation I purchased a set of American Tourister luggage for $200 and got another set for 'free'. And I swayed my daughter towards the AT brand because I knew it and trusted it over all these new no-name brands you see.
Well let me tell you, it was some of the cheapest made stuff I have ever seen but it was too late to change so we packed and went on our way. DD hooked two pieces together to pull from the drop off across to the check in - it broke before she pulled it 2 feet. Coming back I decided to hook mine together - same thing - broke after only a few feet.
I wrote American Tourister and they offered to send me replacement straps but I would have to pay almost $10 per piece shipping. And then I would have to take it somewhere and pay to have it all unsewn and resewn. What about that warranty?
I am taking the letter along with the two sets of luggage right back where it came from and make them credit my account - they can deal with American Tourister!!!
I'm going back to our old Ricardo & Skyway luggage. The Skyway has held up since the early '80s and the Ricardo since about '94 or '95. The only thing that ever 'broke' on any of it is the zipper pulls come off the Ricardo but that's all.
