The suitcase is only 20", not 21". When I called to return it I was told that I would have to pay for return shipping even though the description is incorrect

The handle broke on first use

from NO, LA
We bought two of these Samsonite Freeform carry-on for a trip to Italy. One of the handles bent and does not move up and down very easily. We expected more from Samsonite. I thought this was warrantied, but apparently it has to be sent in to be inspected by the repairs department before they decide if its a manufacturer's defect. Needless to say, thoroughly disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worth the extra cost

We have taken this luggage on a two year multi country trek and it has held up beautifully. The outside gets scuffed an, but still looks good. It has protected our contents and are easy to maneuver. It has been from Africa to Europe and the US and everywhere in between.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Too tall to meet carry-on limits.

Nice bag, but an inch too high for latest carry-on requirements on most international flights, primarily because of the large wheels.

Hello, we appreciate your review and feedback. The product pages on our website should contain both the external and internal dimensions of all our products because we know how important it is for every traveler to have a suitcase that fits both their needs and belongings perfectly. That said, we're sorry to hear about your experience. We will reach out shortly to follow up and see if there's anything else we can do to assist.

Surface easily scratched
on January 3, 2017

Absolutely disappointed with the surface quality as it scratched so badly after first use, on second use, almost all sides were scratched. Understand airport luggage handling is rough, but I own 6 Samsonite luggages. None had this issue. Wondering if I can ask for a replacement. Just bought it a month back. Using it for the third trip already.
Pros: Good Capacity, Stylish
Cons: Poor Quality

Great suitcase, but incorrect dimensions. I had to return it, because it did not fit in Alaska Airlines overhead bin. I specifically looked for a suitcase that fit within 22x14x9 inches. Samsonite's dimensions do not include wheels and handles, which makes online purchases impossible. Samsonite has unfortunately probably lost me as a customer over unreliable dimensions. I never check in bags and only carry on when I fly, so correctly published dimensions is essential to me when buying a suitcase.
