I purchased an American Tourister bag and, after about fourteen months(warranty 3 year) the warranty was denied due to alleged mishandling. However, the damage occurred during normal use when the bottom rubbed against the floor, not from any misuse on my part. I am quite disappointed with the resolution and feel the warranty was not upheld fairly.

Excellent customer service. I contacted them simply to ask where I could get a replacement wheel for my American Tourister luggage. Instead, they sent me 4 free of charge within a week, and it was very easy to replace.

By far the worst luggage I've ever used before and I am a world traveler. Terrible quality. Terrible customer service.
My ad is never buy there products. Complete waste of money

The suitcase zipper failed within five months of purchase and after only one trip.
The first representative asked me several questions and requested that I upload photos so the team could determine the next steps. After reviewing the photos, another representative instructed me to submit a repair request.
However, the repair request resulted in an automated AI-generated response that, in short, requires me to drive nearly 100 miles round-trip and spend about four hours of my time, without any assurance that the repair will even be completed at no additional cost.
This is extremely disappointing for a product that failed so quickly after purchase. The proposed “solution” essentially requires me to spend even more time and money, without any clear assurance that the issue will actually be covered under warranty.

I bought an American Tourister Fast Forward suitcase and the first item arrived with internal defects. I requested a replacement, but unfortunately the second suitcase arrived with internal defects as well.
At that point, I decided to return it instead of asking for another replacement. To be fair, the return process was handled correctly, which is why I am giving two stars instead of one.
However, receiving two defective suitcases in a row is really disappointing and says a lot about the quality control of this product line. I expected much better from a brand connected to Samsonite.
I would not recommend the Fast Forward line based on my experience.

The handle on my suitcase had broken. I simply had to enter into the website the code linked to my suitcase to be taken to the list of spare parts. The parcel arrived a few days after my purchase, just in time. It was very easy to replace the handle — they also provided me with the specific screwdriver required. Now my suitcase looks like new again. I would absolutely recommend this service.

After minimal use, on my last trip when I retrned home, I could not unlock the case. I had the passcode, it had never been changed since originally setting it after I purchased the case, and I was left with a suitcase full of my holiday stuff that I couldn't open. I tried all the reset options and Youtube suggestions, nothing worked. I contacted American Tourister UK by email with an urgent request for assistance, twice. All I ever received was a standard acknowledgment, no advice, help or repair. Customer Service is appalling, The quality of the case was very poor (internal lining zip also broken and cannot be closed). This was an absolute waste of money and in addition, caused a great deal of inconvenience.

Great customer support. I received new parts to repair my luggage after years. Really appreciate and the quality is great.

I purchased a small case to take with me to NYC in November 2024.
This poor case has been battered and bruised. Pulled everywhere from NYC, Berlin, Dublin, Edinburgh, and most recently London. It’s survived awful bus journeys, bumpy flights, and terrible weather.
I cannot recommend this company enough. My case glides and doesn’t stutter. It’s quieter than other cases in my experience.

The zip broke at the first use. I couldn’t exchange it as it broke right before the flight in the airport. Do not buy!

Bought 3 set Luggage while using the luggage the first time it opened in the airport it was embarrassing the quality is very bad its disappointing because the quality used to be amazing. Called to get the claim processed the customer service was bad and they did not resolve the issue. Spent a lot of money to have non working luggage. Disappointing.

I am very disappointed to American Tourister's products. I had bought 2 items, Funlight Disney Spin 55cm, pink, and Bon air spinner 75cm, deep turquoise. Firstly the colour is a lot of deeper than I see on the website, the colour like seaport blue rather than deep turquoise. And I had returned it. When I use the funlight disney spin, it is so noisy when I pull or push the luggage that I cannot use it anymore because it is really noisy.

The handle on my Soundbox carry-on suitcase American Tourister broked. We filed a claim through their website and they sent us a new handle free of charge.

Badge came off , American Tourister wanted me to send the complete suitcase back AT MY EXPENSE for them to examine the case etc.. What a complete farce of a company. No wonder most of these reviews are 1 star. Save your money folks and buy a Tripp.
Update: As requested, I emailed the support desk and forwarded pics. I received a further request a few days later, asking my country of origin. I replied, advising Australia. That was a week ago - I've not heard anything more. I'm not surprised, given the original reply (on thus forum) is from American Tourister Europe. It appears that this issue isn't of any great concern to American Tourister/Samsonite.
Like so many other reviewers, my issue is with the sub-standard handles on my suitcases (I have two and both have identical handle breakages). The rubber-like product used isn't up to supporting the weight of the suitcase. I travelled two days ago, with 15kgs (so nothing at all overly heavy) and the top handle split in half, yet again - this was a replacement handle the company posted after a lot of 'discussion' as to the inferiority of the handle. Given the cost of these suitcases, I'm very disappointed with the rubbishy handle and the company's attitude to acknowledging that the material used for the handles isn't up to the job.

The quality of the bag might not be the best, but the service to get spare parts was great.

After 10 years of use wheels were worn out. Got a free replacement of four wheels incl screws and tools.
