Delsey has a great product and a great warranty. Warranty is the most important. I would prefer an expandable model but great price for very good luggage.
Hardside isn't for everyone, infact it kind of sucks, it's very fragile compared to softside luggage and it scratches and dings easily. I actually prefer it though for long haul plane trips for the carry on because i ise a backpack for a personal item for the quick grab stuff and the hardside does have a couple of advantages, if you overstuff a softside carry on, then hook your backpack's luggage strap over the carry on handle for airport walking.. if you oberstuff the softside, the weight can kind of hang out over the wheels and the whole thing can get tippy.. so for that reason i prefer hardside for some travel and i got these because if had that delsey helium awhile back and it was a great suitcase, i got kittens a year or so ago and one of them peed in it which killed it but i saw these and thought, hey id pay 100 for just the carry on if it's as good as my old helium, and if they come with those wacky trunks, why not, we'll give it a go.
If you hardly ever fly, maybe this is ok. If you primarily carry on. Maybe ok. If you check your luggage or load heavily - not ok.
It is expensive, but I would buy Luggage Works. Pilots use these bags. They get the literal crap beat out of them like a war and they hardly ever break. If they do - full lifetime warranty.
Even if you don't want a nice indestructible bag. Just get a nice soft side.

You said avoid hard side polycarbonite luggage, and definitely I agree that any type of hardside luggage is weaker and prone to breaking in comparison to soft luggage, but busting out around the wheels sounds not like polycarbonite, that sounds like ABS which is the cheapest material used for hardside, and is EVERWHERE because theyre so cheap from Ross and Marshalls and Macy's etc. But Polycarbonate is the most expensive and most durable type of plastic used. When it fails around a wheel, it's usually that the wheel is crushes in but the case stays intact, still ruined but it takes a LOT more force to do that with Poly and I think sometimes all hardside plastic luggage gets a bad reputation because the cheap ubiquitous ABS large suitcases that are failing left and right.
Horrible. Weird shape and carry on so small. Not standard size
The "Trunk" shape is definitely different from the typical shape of a larger checked luggage. Many people like them and it's been a shape of luggage that has been trending lately.
I like them, others do as well. But apparently not everyone does.
These cases are from Delsey, a company with a very good reputation, and they're made with PU, the toughest type of hardside suitcase [still not as tough as a typical soft case though]
If you want hardside luggage and you like the shape, and you don't mind that it isn't expandable, it's an amazing deal. These are basically the Cruise 3.0 but made specifically for Costco and slightly different. But this set is about 1/3 the price of Cruise 3.0 so in that sense. It's a great deal.
If you want something different though, then it ain't a very good deal for you

If you actually measure the carry on and maybe they include on the wheels, that carry on is the smallest luggage lol. It's def not standard on the interior measurements.
Agree that hardsides break more. Also agree that polycarbonate lasts longer than ABS.
