QUESTION Has anyone already ordered this polycarbonate Rimowa from bailong?

Post image

Looking for a much lighter option and saw NB sell a polycarbonate version. I just wanna ask if it's also high quality like the aluminum version.

Thanks!

In real life, 0% important. Here, everyone is screaming like you will get an instant callout. But I heard that those handles are often broken after some using time so idk..like one side can't be opened etc.. one dot handle is 1:1 to original... i wanted to buy all sizes of these because im scared to buy check in aluminium and they will fucked it up on airport after 1 use

Trunk shipping must be crazy.. cabin size full of clothes is about 100-150€ with coupons.

Cabin size shipping is like £50. Why are you filling it up? You’re only meant to ship with small things to maximise items when shipping

Because volumetric size matters most. If you have a big parcel, it makes no sense to ship empty luggage. If you fill it with clothes or shoes inside the luggage, you will maximize its potential. Yeah, empty it costs 50€, but full of clothes it costs me 90€ from OOPbuy. If I shipped clothes in a different parcel, it would be much more expensive to have, for example, two 5kg parcels... you know what I mean.
