Anyone shopping for luggage?
I have been adding to my set of Travelpro luggage as I need pieces and
have recently found that Bloomingdales has the Crew7 model at *excellent* prices. The prices are less than I found for the discontinued pieces of Travelpro at Macy's. So if you might be looking...check out the Bloomies website. Goomba |

I bought the 20 inch carry on about three weeks ago for $99 plus about $10 shipping on the Bloomingdales web site. They don't carry it in the store, at least not the store here. Since their store is across the street I thought I would save on shipping. It took about two weeks to ship. It is a very good piece of luggage. The 22 inch is also $99. The prices are amazing. All the other web sites and Macy's that I checked were over $160 for the piece I bought. -- Charles |

The Nonnys prefer Kroger or Safeway grocery sacks, though large cardboard boxes seem to hold up a tad better. -- Nonny Some people are like a Slinky: not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. |

Goomba We used to think they were a real good deal with an excellent warranty. Then a zipper tab broke off one of our suitcases and they told us the nearest repair facility was in Houston and that it would probably take two weeks. -- - dillon I am not invalid Men are like a carpet.

I have sent in cameras to Canon and sunglasses to Maui Jim and it took about two weeks. The only company that gives me good turn around is Apple. Theirs is 72 hours. I do think Travelpro is over rated and not as good as the used to be, but at the prices on the Bloomingdale's web site I don't think one can go wrong. -- Charles |

Well, it's either drive 200 miles twice, or pay a huge shipping fee. I think my local mail store type place quoted me $35 one way. So that would have been $70. -- - dillon I am not invalid Men are like a carpet. Lay them well and you can walk on them for years. |

Charles Because one of our 28" suitcases was damaged by the baggage handlers after the VOTS cruise in December, I ended up buying a Samsonite Solana Spinner. It is well constructed with a new Tri-Weave blended fabric and lightweight Polypropylene Honeycomb frame, but the way that luggage is treated by airlines and cruise ships anymore, I wonder how long those four wheels will last...The effortless mobility in any direction was what sold me as it's getting harder and harder to schlep all that luggage! --Jean |

Your local mall store probably charged you ridiculous prices for packaging and a hefty markup on shipping. If you saved the original boxes (if you had them, of course) you could just take it to Fedex or UPS yourself and shipped for much cheaper. BTW I posted this deal on another board and someone else pointed out that hhgregg.com has them cheaper AND has free shipping. http://www.hhgregg.com/ProductListin...Suitcases%2024 Bill |

That's FAR more than the shipping and handling that Bloomies just charged me for the pieces I bought. shrug |
