3-Pc Samsonite Winfield 2 Fashion Spinner Luggage Set (Various Colors, 20", 24", 28") Expired

I have always used the soft luggage pieces because I feel that they are easier to pack, with the case laying down you simply flip the top up against the wall in a small hotel room, while with a hard case you have to have space to open both up in a "butterfly" style. Plus most soft cases have extra pockets and sleeves on the sides and front for last minute small items where a hard case you have to open the entire case even if you want to tuck in your flip flops somewhere.

Can someone tell me what is the reason all the luggages seem to have gone hardside? Besides the obvious one which is water resistance if you have your luggage sitting out in the rain the hardside will perform better than the soft cases.

I need a new set but am wondering about Samsonite. Two weeks about went to a Marshalls store to look at what they have, and saw a few Samsonite hard cases, most of them were dented badly. I was wondering if they are dented because Samsonite hard sides dent easily, or if those were factory damaged items and that's why they were on clearances.

I used to buy exclusively Delsey made in France at stores and they seem to be durable and solid. I don't see Delseys anymore.

Someone tell me, when you buy a hard side, is the weak point the zippers? What I mean is when you have a fully packed hard case, and an airline baggage handler picks it up to transfer it I have seen them do it they just "fling" and throw the whole case onto a transfer carrier. As the hard case gets thrown, the only thing that is holding the two hard shell together, is the clothed zipper in the middle correct? That is why many people put a belt around the hard side to reinforce in case the zipper tears?

Do they make hard sides with belt clips across the zipper?

thank you for this awesome deal. I ordered one and it has been 7days but not delivered yet. has anyone received really in 5days?

Deal is dead again, FF50 does not work.
