Buying A Lightweight Suitcase

[pusskin]

Where would you go to buy a light weight, cheapish, middle size suitcase?
Off out shopping tomorrow, but would like some ideas what stores to visit.
Thanks Abers x

I bought my last case from TK Maxx, but debehams often have good deals on their luggage

When it comes to luggage, you need something sturdy IMHO.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Bite the bullet and get something by Samsonite, plenty of bargains on eBay.

House of Fraser, TK Maxx, Argos, Debenhams.

Many thanks Abers, for all your replies, its given me more idea of where to go. xx have a good day

if its going in the car and under your eye then cheap might be okay, otherwise I agree with chill. I recently freecycled some 30 year old Samsonite cases that were surplus to my requirements. They flew between the US, Europe or the Gulf around 4 to 6 times a year every year for 20 years and then had less hard use after that and were still in excellent if battered condition with all locks clasps wheels and hinges in full working order.

T K Maxx is good, not too expensive.
M&S also

I got a sub-zero from Debenhams, which are about the lightest there is

Wow, got some amazing replies. Now, where do I start.
I have been put on paypal, and now have amazon to look at, but have to pluck up courage and try and order on line. haha. Pigs might fly x lol
Cheers all

I'd echo jno's recommendation for Sub Zero G - they are very good - very light and seem to take the bashing around very well too.

Argos often have offers on them :

Argos is worth a look

if only because there are user reviews for most products.

If you're buying a wheeled suitcase, please take a hint from someone who used to work at a railway station, and who has assisted thousands of people with their luggage:
Make sure that the wheels are as far apart as possible!
(Suitcases with the wheels close together are difficult to handle, as they keep twisting from side to side)

Wilkinson do a range of soft and hard cases at very reasonable prices.

[boxtops]

Depends where you live, we've got a factory outlet shop here where good cases are sold at very reasonable prices.
