one wheel gone on its first international trip

Just bought the suitcase and brought it on an international trip. The surface scratches very easily which is a small issue. On the returning flight back home, I dragged the suitcase down the belt and realized that one wheel was missing. I've used tons of suitcases over the decades, and I've never seen a suitcase so flimsy and poorly made.

Not the quality I expected

Expansion zipper broke on first use. Plastic is soft and was very scratched and scuffed from one trip. Won't let me return for money back which I understand is the policy but was hoping for an exception given quality concerns. Expected better from Samsonite especially because the Amazon Basics suitcase I replaced was 10x as durable and 1/2 the cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

awkward at best

I bought this bag for a multi-stop trip. I couldn't prop open the top while packing. I didn't think much of it at the time. When I picked up my bag, I was surprised at the large number of scrapes on it. This bag is not a true 3D rectangle. Rather, it has eight sides. This makes balancing to pack or unpack very difficult. I suspect this also made it more vulnerable to scratches. The person with whom I was traveling had a traditional hard, four wheeled Samsonite. That one had fewer scratches after > 20 trips than mine did after one. I am so disappointed in this purchase. I thought I could count on Samsonite. I was wrong.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor Quality, difficult to balance, Difficult to Pack
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought one in Woodbury common last night. The handle does not extend. I can’t drive 2hours for exchange. What should I do?

Quality & Durability Questionable!!!
on May 15, 2024

I received the Freeform Carry-On Spinner as a birthday gift. When I opened the box I was elated because of the brand Samsonite one of the most well-known travel brands in the world! My thoughts were: it is a quality product and will be durable. Plus, I loved the color, the style, and the ease of motion. However, I was extremely wrong. I recently had an opportunity to use my brand new suitcase for the first time on a trip to Puerto Rico. To my dismay and utter dissatisfaction my brand new suitcase now looks like it has been through the wringer. It looks dirty, used, and abused after one single use. I can only imaged how it will look after a few more uses while vacationing. Honestly, I am a little embarrassed to travel with it now. I do not recommend for anyone to purchase this suitcase due to low quality and durability. I recommend for individuals looking to purchase new luggage to look into other luggage companies for more durable and quality luggage!!! The proof is in the photos below.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Exterior finish does not hold up well.

Verified Purchase:No
I have the black set and while they're nice looking, well made, lightweight, and offer superb protection, the exterior looks absolutely TERRIBLE after just one trip. After going through airport baggage handling the suitcases look like they're 10 years old. The finish is somewhat smooth, yet has a slightly rubbery texture so it attracts dirt, dust and debris. Scuffs and scratches appeared immediately. I have other Samsonite hardside luggage that is almost 10 years old but still looks better than this. For the money, I'd purchase another set with a more texture exterior finish. Very disappointed.
Pros: Easy To Access Items, Easy To Carry, Good Capacity, Stylish
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
