      Do you provide repairs for airline-damaged luggage?

      How do I get a formal quotation for airline damage claims?

      All formal quotations for airline damage claims must be done in person at our service center. We charge a $20 fee for the quotation. We cannot provide accurate quotations without inspecting the damage firsthand.

      How long does it take to repair my luggage?

      Repair times vary depending on the extent of the damage and the parts required. On average, most repairs take between 3 to 7 business days. We will provide you with an estimated timeline once we’ve assessed your luggage.

      Do you repair zippers, handles, and wheels?

      As an authorized repair center, we typically do not sell parts directly to customers. All parts are used for in-house repairs to ensure proper installation and warranty coverage.

      How do I care for my luggage to prevent future damage?

      To extend the life of your luggage, we recommend regularly cleaning your bags, checking for signs of wear and tear, and handling your luggage with care during transit. For specific care tips based on your luggage material, feel free to ask our technicians.
