missmarigold 4th Gear July 24, 2015 Share July 24, 2015 (edited) Hi So basically i need to get a cabin size luggage Considering between american tourister and samsonite.. At the moment the samsonite is on sale price and its $100 more expensive than the AT. The Samsonite luggage offers 10 years limited warranty, American Tourister 3 years warranty. Since it's a limited warranty whereby wear and tear isnt covered.. Is it worth to pay another $100 for the Samsonite? Anyone has experience with the warranty?

Google 2nd Gear July 24, 2015 Share July 24, 2015 Both are under the same company. Only branding issue. I am using AT hardcase which is made in India as I travel over there for work. Dirt cheap in India. What 10 years Samsonite warranty? You think the same model will still be around that long for the spares alone? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinobii Hypersonic July 24, 2015 Share July 24, 2015 Samsonite is the higher end of the two Depends on the material you wanna get If you want to get hardshell, Samsonite has better material and can last a long time, i have them in different sizes and they are really good. If you are looking at fabric, just get AT, the material is tough too. Between hardshell n fabric, i will go for samsonite hardshell for the light weight (can carry more stuff) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm that could be one problem.. actually asked the sales person, he that says that though that they come from the same company the material they use to produce the luggage is actually diffirent.. AT use pvc.. Whereby samsonite use "something that i cant remmber" Edited July 25, 2015 by missmarigold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's a limited warranty whereby wear and tear isnt covered.. Is it worth to pay another $100 for the Samsonite? Anyone has experience with the warranty? I had both. The american tourister hardcase was solidly built and lasted over 10 years. In fact, it was pretty much still intact when I discarded it last year, except for its retractable handle. It broke twice in its life span. Got it repaired for free the 1st time by the airline company. The 2nd time it broke, it was loaned to my niece. So I didn't bother to get it repaired again. My Samsonite is still good. Bought it in the US. Edited July 25, 2015 by BoneStock 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 Try amazon. For Samsonite, I found that some models are still much cheaper even after paying shipping costs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
