    can it be fixed ?

    guess I should just put the luggage back in the attack and claim innocence

    Check it in next time you fly, and when you pick it up, tell the airline that they broke it and demand a like-for-like replacement.

    Pondlife,

    you got me, the luggage was full of doco

    i had an argument with the girl at the business class desk the other week she said my 22kilos of hand luggage was too much - there's nothing worse than having to wait for luggage that's been in the hold

    i told her to pretend she did not weigh it, in the end she let me through and said if I get stopped at the boarding it's my fault

    Drewster, quite,

    Milan.

    I don't like those LV bags; the pattern makes them look like big turds with worms crawling around on them.

    Call me cynical - but I always think "Lifetime Guarantee" means "It lasts as long as it lasts"......

    ok samsonite does it have a life time guarantee ?

    what if you no longer have the receipt ?
    Wouldn't the fact that you are still alive count for something?

    Surely you could use the online help rather than carting all the manuals everywhere.

    Lifetime guarantees are like fixed price IT contracts; they come with the qualification that you have to comply with the ‘terms and conditions’; this is usually a document weighing 6 kilograms and including 34,769 clauses with a further 92,684 sub-paragraphs and several appendices. All of these clauses, sub-paragraphs and appendices begin with the words ‘Guarantee will be declared null and void if…’

    yes - attack ... mean't to write attic - sorry


    they put it on the scales at the airport it only had 24 kilo's

    but it broke the axle of one of the rollerskate wheels

    maybe should treat the mrs to a new one :-)

    Milan.
    Milan, why are you putting your luggage on rollerskates?

    Could it be a laundry bag on a skateboard?

    Posh luggage usually has a lifetime guarantee. Whether they will fix it when you've been carrying bricks around in it is another matter. And if you've been using it as infantry in a luggage-based military exercise its even more unlikely.

    Yes let the luggage go on the attack for you, you just sit back.
