Here is some helpful information to take into consideration when needing your luggage repaired:

Your luggage has a limited warranty which covers manufacturing defects in workmanship and materials. Our warranty does not cover repairs resulting from carrier damage, misuse or neglect of the product, normal wear and tear, or repairs beyond the warranty period.

For warranty repair evaluation, your product will need to be evaluated by our Authorized Repair Center. Please note any shipping costs to the repair center will be your responsibility.

The Authorized Repair Center will make the final determination on the status of the product with the possible following outcomes:

  • If the product is repairable and covered under warranty, the product will be repaired at Samsonite's expense and returned to you.
  • If the product is not repairable and is covered under warranty, you will be contacted via email in regard to receiving a comparable warranty replacement at no cost to you.
  • If the product is repairable and not covered under warranty, you may either have the product returned to you un-repaired, or have the product repaired at your own expense. This will be communicated to you by the Authorized Repair Center via email.
  • If the product is not repairable and not covered under warranty, you can elect to have the Authorized Repair Center send the product back to you un-repaired, or you may ask the Authorized Repair Center to dispose of the product. This will be communicated to you by the Authorized Repair Center via email.

When creating your repair ticket, you have the following options to get your luggage to the authorized repair center:

  • If an authorized repair center is near you- you have the option to bring your luggage directly to the RC
  • You also have the option to ship your product to the authorized repair center.

If you select to ship it to the repair center, we recommend using a carrier that will provide you with a tracking number.

  • You can also personally bring your product to a Samsonite Branded Company Store and the store will be happy to ship this to the repair center for you at a small fee:
  • $15 for pieces 23” or under
  • $20 for pieces 24" or larger 

When creating your repair ticket, you can view the various ways to get your luggage to the repair center based on your proximity to an authorized repair center and/or Samsonite Company Store.

  • Please note luggage should not be mailed to Samsonite Company Stores

Product

Airlines commonly specify the maximum allowable size of carry-on and checked baggage as "Maximum Linear Dimensions", also referred to as "Linear Length". This refers to the total linear length of your luggage, which is calculated by adding together the length, width, and height of your suitcase. This sum must not exceed the designated "Maximum Linear Dimensions" set by your airline, which is typically 62 inches (158 cm) for most airlines.

When calculating the linear dimensions of your luggage, you will have to take three measurements of your luggage: the Length, Width and Height. Be sure to include any handles or wheels if they are sticking out while collapsed.

Then, simply add the three measurements together:

Length + Width + Height = Total Linear Length 

Our carry-ons are designed to meet the general carry-on size specifications of most major domestic airlines. However, airlines frequently change their specifications; we recommend you check with your airline to get the most accurate and up-to-date carry-on information before you travel. For a general idea of airline size requirements, please visit our Carry-On Guide. *please note - this page is updated infrequently, and you should check with your airline to confirm measurements.  

The keyhole on your lock is actually for TSA use only, so no keys are included with our items. To keep your luggage secure, you can set your own personalized code on the combination lock. For more information about your lock, please visit our Lock Instructions page.

You can choose to bring your product to a local luggage repair center or locksmith who may be able to open this for you. Costs vary depending on the company you choose.

If you would like to utilize one of our authorized repair centers, you can get more information on this process and create your repair ticket by visiting Service and Repairs.

The material of our hard-side luggage varies by model. For specific details, please refer to the product specifications of the luggage you are interested in.

The material of our soft-side luggage varies by model. For specific details, please refer to the product specifications of the luggage you are interested in.

When comparing polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), the primary distinction lies in their impact resistance and overall durability. Polycarbonate is typically the strongest and most impact-resistant, followed by ABS, with polypropylene being the lightest and most cost-effective option. Additionally, polypropylene offers superior chemical resistance compared to the other two materials.

Every airline has different requirements for their sizing. Please check with your specific airline for their acceptable requirements. A list of airline size guidelines can be found on our Carry-On Guide page.
