My first stop on the Bula! Fiji Hub Trip Report was Michigan. I flew Delta Premium Economy. While the Wi-Fi was good, I was not impressed with how they handled my luggage (see Delta Damaged Bag Premium Economy Flight Review).
I submitted a claim to Delta and months later they offered me $300. I tried to negotiate for more because my tennis racket was damaged. I sent them a receipt for its repair. Since I did not have a photo of it damaged, they rejected my claim. Ultimately, I accepted the $300 and can’t say I am too upset about it. What do you think?
For a fake Rimowa bag that probably cost around $30? I think you won.
Good lesson to take photos of the damaged items! Keep up the great work TPOL! Go Blue!
Go Blue! Yes, a must do.
Did you also get back the fee you paid to check in the bag?
Looks like a polycarbonate plastic suitcase. I have learned to try to avoid having them for checked luggage unless wanting to repeatedly deal with claims for materially damaged luggage.
I did not. And didn’t think to ask for it. Obvious mistake
exactly the type of person who’d use a fake rimowa… not even remotely surprised.
Ooh Dan. Festivus worthy reply
It was a great luggage. Took it all over without issue. Obvious it was dropped from a high altitude.
You’re spending $2000 on a suitcase? Send me the photos of that. ‘Exactly the person who doesn’t travel that comments and hides in the basement’
Festivus for the rest of us.
You solicit your reader for input and respond with such derision as “the person who doesn’t travel that comments and hides in the basement.”
Insulting, to say the least. Do better.
Don’t say rude shit and you won’t receive rudeness back. This isn’t your house to destroy. Good day
That bag looks like it’s plastic. I could buy one like it for $60 at Marshals.
I recommend tj maxx
Better than the $162 offered by Iberia for breaking my suitcase. That is the max that IB offers though I submitted a receipt for an American Tourister replacement suitcase that costed me ~$210. Other brands were even more expensive.
That’s why I’m wondering why anyone would spend 2k on a suitcase!
It is a fake Rimowa?
AA broke my legit Rimowa Topas, with a dent, and send me a new one.
It’s fake. Polycarbonate and zipper + wheels are flimsy. I guess w $ 300 she got a pretty good deal.
Originality equals zero. There’s no such thing a a fake suitcase
fair – take it and move on!
You don’t want to hear my experience with Dolfi1920 GmbH
Oh I did. How do you think my new suitcase from Bangkok will hold up? Everything arrived just fine!
