WHY DOES LUGGAGE THAT LOOKS ALIKE VARY IN PRICE?

A very good question!  The key components of luggage price variation in luggage, is Technology, Materials, Marketing and Warranty support.  All the better brands which Luggage Direct sells, honour their warranties, and hold spare parts in Australia, and pay Authorised Repairers to assess and repair your purchase if needed.  (Verses most Discount Chain suitcases need to be discarded if a wheel or handle breaks)

Then there is the material your bag is made of, and the quality of the stitching and workmanship. Example: Even the better brands have hardside suitcases at different price points based on how “crack resistant” the material in the bag’s shell is.  Generally polypropylene is more flexible and less likely to crack verses polycarbonate, and both of these are significantly better than ABS material suitcases. 

High quality luggage brands can command a premium price, if they use special technology, like extra strong wheels (Eg Japanese Hinomoto) or have amazingly light & strong hardside shells (Eg. CURV Technology or Roxkyn).  Premium outdoor luggage suppliers like Osprey, often triple stich their bags.

Finally, “buyer beware”, as other brands can also command a higher price, by the power of marketing.  Pretty colours and clever digital marketing, do not guarantee a good piece of luggage.

 How do you dispatch your orders?

Luggage Direct uses Australia Post, Startrack and Aramex couriers as well as other reputable courier companies. All orders are tracked from the moment they leave our warehouse until they reach you.

WHAT IS A TSA LOCK?

In America, to ensure airline and travel security, the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) may need to check luggage before it is loaded on the airplane. In the event that luggage has to be physically inspected and opened, standard locks may be forced open and damaged in the process. This would leave the luggage unlocked and potentially at risk. TSA-approved locks, marked by the red diamond insignia, can be opened and then relocked by US security officers with a master key.

Please note: TSA combination locks come without a key, as only TSA authorities have this key. If your TSA lock is a combination lock, you use the numbered dials to lock and unlock it.

WHAT ARE MY CONSUMER RIGHTS?

Luggage Direct gladly upholds all your rights under Australian Consumer Law.  The Australian Consumer Law protects consumers by giving them certain guaranteed rights when they buy goods and services. For example, the law requires that goods must be free of defects and do what they are meant to do. Services must be carried out with care and skill. These rights, which the law says automatically apply whenever goods or services are supplied to a consumer, are called ‘Consumer Guarantees’.

In addition to your Consumer Law rights, our products have limited manufacturers guarantees.  Luggage Direct only stocks brands who support their guarantees with spare parts available in Australia.
