A good quality luggage is important

Thursday, July 10, 2008

Last year when we were preparing for a vacation, we decided to buy a new luggage bag as our old one was giving way. We shopped around and found a shop called Travel for All in 1 Utama offering between 50% to 70% discounts. We ended up buying a canvas Polo luggage bag for 70% off the normal price and was very happy with the purchase. However, the satisfaction was shortlived because on the day we left for the airport, the handle on the bag came off! We had no time to switch luggages so we just had to carry it around the hard way throughout the trip. Imagine what a big inconvenience it was!

When we got back from the trip, we brought it back to the shop but we were told that all they were willing to do was a repair and on top of that, we were charged RM10 for it! That incident taught me a lesson. Sometimes cheap luggages just aren't worth it! The next time we look for one, I'm making sure it's of high quality even if it costs more. Something the likes of a Zero Halliburton would serve us very well although it costs a lot. But at least you know that you're paying good money for good quality.
