Samsonite Luggage Repair
Samsonite makes some of the finest quality luggage available on the market, built to withstand the harsh wear-and-tear of frequent travel. All bags are tested for durability, strength, and dependability according to Samsonite’s quality control standards. Nonetheless, manufacturing defects or exceptionally rough use do occasionally make Samsonite luggage repair necessary.Samsonite Warranty
Most Samsonite luggage is covered under either a three year or ten year limited warranty. Under this warranty, any problems with the luggage that are caused by manufacturing defects and not by misuse, neglect, transit damage, etc will be repaired by Samsonite at no expense to the owner.
Repairs under warranty must be preformed at an authorized Samsonite luggage repair center. Repairs done by other companies are not covered under warranty. You may return your luggage to any Samsonite store and they will send it to an authorized repair center, or you may bring it to the repair center yourself.
The repair center will determine if the damage on your luggage is covered under the warranty. If it is, they will repair it and send it back to you at no additional cost or replace it if it cannot be repaired. If the damage is not covered by warranty but rather is a result of misuse on the part of the owner, then the owner will be given the option of having the luggage repaired at their own expense or having the luggage sent back to them unrepaired.
Zipper Repair
One of the most common repairs needed on travel luggage is broken zipper repair, but repairing broken zippers requires special skills and equipment. Not all Samsonite repair centers are equipped to repair zippers, and so if your zipper is broken, make sure that the repair center you send your bag to is one that does zipper repair.
Taking Care of Your Luggage
In order to avoid paying for Samsonite luggage repair costs out of your own pocket, you must make sure to take proper care of your luggage. This includes not exposing your luggage to extremes in temperature, not transporting unusual items, and not exposing your suitcase to acids or large amounts of water.
If you store your luggage in a location where there is a good deal of humidity, such as an attic or basement, it should be taken out, opened, and aired out regularly to prevent mildewing. If your luggage needs to be washed, it should be spot-cleaned with water and a mild soap. If this does not work to get it clean, a clothing stain removal spray may be used. Smells in luggage can usually be removed with a mixture of vinegar and water.
Samsonite luggage repair is seldom necessary due to the superior quality of their manufacturing, but when repairs are needed, the authorized Samsonite repair centers are there to insure your repairs are done with the same expert care that Samsonite luggage is crafted with. Caring for your luggage will help it to last longer and insure that if any repairs are needed on your luggage, the fees will be covered by warranty and will not be coming out of your pocket.
