Monessen Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I am soon going to make 10 different flights overseas and I cannot find substantial luggage with castors that swivel 360 degrees. I have found some in stores like Soriana and Walmart but they are so flimsy that I wouldn't trust my belongings in them. Ten separate flights means that the baggage handlers have 20 chances to mangle the luggage. 😉 I need luggage with strong sides to them so that as they are thrown around they can maintain their strength. I do not have a car so I can't just visit all the bazaars or stores along the carretera and I have searched stores in Guadalajara. I know that there are high end stores and I have visited many but everything seems to have cheap collapsing sides that do not look like they can take a beating. Does anyone know where I can purchase things like this and fanny packs or, better yet, ankle pockets? I have checked the Guadalajara airport and I cannot even find them there. I have also been searching for them in Zacatecas and other Mexican cities to no avail. Perhaps someone has seen something and direct me to the right place?

AlanMexicali Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Liverpool. We bought a large Samsonite for $3000.00 pesos before our trip. The quality makes manoeuring around subways, sidewalks much easier than cheap luggage I saw people struggling with. It is not worth the pain in the a@@ to buy low end for your long journey in my opinion. Don't buy the hard plastic sided because on our trip I saw many with caved in corners and bowed in sides. Airlines are brutal with check in luggage at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I just bought yesterday some new luggage made in France from Liverpool and it came in my favorite color purple and is guaranteed by the maker and Liverpool... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I looked at the Costco ones today and they looked pretty substantial. I wonder about the warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that I'm a firm believer in luggage straps and if and where possible... wrapping the whole thing in plastic film, not pretty, but it really does keep it together. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
