What to do if you need to repair your luggage

Every season is a great travel season, and our luggage and bags are just as important as our passports when it comes to making a journey perfect. A suitcase can help make our journey that much easier, and take some of the hassle out of navigating around a new place. That said, due to all the lugging around, they're also prone to damage and accidents, so getting them repaired can sometimes be necessary.

If your luggage is covered under a product protection plan, you can often get repairs and replacements for a reduced price, or even for free. It helps take the sting out of breaking your favorite suitcase, and ensures you're able to continue your travels without missing a beat.

What should you do when you need your luggage repaired?

Let's take a look at some of the things you can do when it's time to get your luggage repaired.

Luggage repair store

A luggage repair store is a great option for getting your luggage fixed and back in working order as soon as possible. You can find the luggage repair service closest to you by searching "luggage repair near me", which will show a list of places nearby.

It's also important to pay attention to what type of luggage the repair shop services. For example, if you have a wheeled suitcase, you might need to take it to a different place than you would a leather bag. There's also smart luggage, which will likely require an even higher level of repair services. Taking your luggage to the right repair shop can save you both time and money.

Check your warranty coverage

Whether or not your luggage is covered under an extended warranty can have a large bearing on the repair cost. Extended warranties cover damage like cracks, spills, breaks, and more, and offer reduced repair costs.

Manufacturer warranties can also be helpful, however they don't last as long or provide as comprehensive coverage as extended warranties. Manufacturer warranties typically only last for about a year, and cover issues related to things like defects, product faults, and related problems.

DIY luggage repair

There are certain types of luggage repair, such as removing scratches and replacing broken wheels, that you can even do yourself. DIY luggage repair helps save money and time, and gives you the satisfaction of fixing the luggage yourself.

For example, replacing the wheels on your suitcase is as simple as ordering a new set and screwing them in. Removing scratches can be a little more difficult depending on how deep they are, but it can be as easy as taking a cleaning eraser to them. Other damage like luggage zipper repair or luggage handle repair, however, might be a little more difficult to fix on your own.
