They still didn't ship out my order from 12/24 (only created label) so don't buy expecting it to arrive within a week (not 2-5 business days)

I saw a review that said that you should think of it primarily as a roller which you can turn into a backpack when you need in certain areas vs a backpack you occasionally roll, if that makes sense.

How realistic is the "normal price" that's listed? It's this a $200 bag for $40 or more like a $60 bag?

Whoa, 9.6lbs on the wheelie vs ~3.8 on the rest. I guess that settles it for me.
Yeah, especially quite a few international airlines limit carry-on weight to 11lbs or 15lbs. So the rolling backpack which weight 9.6lbs pretty much take up most of the weight.

I ordered it from ebay at a higher price and it shows "shipped". When I start the return process saying that I found a lower price, ebay gives me a hefty $39 return charges. Is there another way?

I was wondering the same thing. It looks like on Amazon, the eBags store normal price is $84.

Anyone use any of these for a personal item with Spirit? Looks like all of the ones listed in the original post would be too large based on the dimensions.

I haven't watched eBags prices closely, but I can't recall the Mother Load Travel Backpack (regular or junior) being less than $99 for a very long time. $40 is an excellent price. I've owned a Mother Load Travel Backpack for about 10 years and have used it about a dozen times. I think I paid $80 to $100 for it. eBags had frequent sales and coupons back then. For a while, the Mother Loads weren't even available to purchase. I hope the new ones are the same quality as my old one. I ordered a DLX and a Junior.

Same here, and an email to their customer service for an update has gone unanswered. Thought id have for a trip next week doesnt look like its happening, 2-5 day shipping has turned into 2-4 weeks.

I've had the Mother Lode Jr for almost 10 years and still use it dozens of times a year on every trip I take. I've always used it as my carry-on, and it's still in great shape. At this price, I'm considering getting another one, although I'm not sure what I need it for.

Anyone get Amazon to match?
I ordered through Amazon when it was $69 and just sent them a message...amazon basically said talk to the seller (eBags) and allowed me to send them a message...well see what happens. Should also get mine delivered today if that makes any difference.

Anyone know which bag is allowed on Allegiant or frontier as personal item?
I've used the Mother Lode Jr for a personal item on Allegiant and Frontier many times. I just used it on Frontier last month without any issues.
