If it's ever damaged or broken, no matter the reason, they will repair it free of charge. I've personally bought bags from UN Luggage and can vouch that they are a good seller to deal with.

They also have an Amazon storefront with most of the same pricing to use up those gift cards and score some rebates.

What gift cards and rebates are you referring to?

These prices seem inflated compared to other sites (even from amazon.ca), even with the discount

MSRP on Briggs & Riley bags are not cheap. I've bought all of my pieces on sale or clearance, and even one of the bags I bought recently is over $100 cheaper in this sale.

Think of these bags like a divorce: why are they so expensive? Because they're worth it.

The luggage industry seems to have the most laughable MSRP. I'm not sure about this company, but the industry pricing reminds me of pots and pans where you can have 70% off, but still the same price for a similar brand at a similar store.

Not just UN Luggage, but this applies to all authorized retailers that sell B&R.

Yes it is expensive but the luggage is very high quality, particularly the baseline series. Their compression technology really works too, I can go for a 10 day vacation just bringing one of their carry on rollers.

This is a buy once per lifetime kind of thing

In general, I would have to agree as many retailers sell 'garden variety' bags at 50 to 60% discounts off of their 'retail' price but one can argue that no-one buys those bags at 'retail' price so you can argue that those bags shouldn't be retailing at those prices!

HOWEVER, Briggs and Riley are different bags altogether. They rarely go on sale unlike other bags which seem to be always on sale. If Briggs and Riley do go on sale, their sale prices are nowhere close to what other bags go on sale for - ie B&R might be on sale of 10% while those others are on sale for 50%. Other warranties are limited to 10 or 15 years while B&R is a lifetime warranty. Other warranties require proof of purchase while B&R doesn't - if you have the bag, then that's proof enough that you own the bag. Other warranties won't cover this that and the other thing while B&R covers everything. Heck, if they can't repair the bag, they will replace it with a current generation bag.

I recently had a 30 year old B&R bag replaced!

I love hard case luggage and always wanted to buy a Briggs and Riley but the Briggs & Riley Transcend 21” Carry-On is 50% off (but it soft/cloth).

I have both Transcend and Baseline carry ons. The fabric on the Baseline seems to resist wear better but that may be due to the colour. Nevertheless, the B&R quality is still there. Wheels are very good and the zippers are buttery smooth. It has the same flat back design (rails on the outside) as the baseline so still very easy to pack. The Transcend is sturdy and I have no doubts that it will last.

Only thing I miss from the Baseline is the hard plastic expansion system. If you expand the Transcend it has to be full or it won’t hold it’s shape. Probably not a big deal from most but I like to have them expanded near the end of my trips (souvenirs, laundry, etc) and the rigid expansion on the baseline makes it easy to pack.

B&R Baseline is a great product. Do not see it discounted too often. Also like that, outside of frequent travelers, the brand is largely unknown. Fwiw, you can also get some models with Aeroplan points.

I think the Sympatico collection has been on half price for a while.

Oh I know I am a huge B&R fan, I have probably $1.5k of their stuff right now lol. Just that the prices this site has, compared to other places selling B&R (including what amazon.ca carries) seemed higher even with the discount

Pretty sure there was a price increase recently. Used to be 1:1 CAD to USD prices but they fixed that.

1.5k is just 3 pieces of B&R on average...

I've got 5 pieces - a 28", a 24" expandable (recently replaced by B&R on warranty), 22" carryon expandable, 21" carryon, and 21" carryon which stores a laptop and a full change of clothes.

How are the Baseline Spinners (4 wheelers) nowadays for B&R? I heard issues previously with the spinners tipping over constantly when not even being filled to the max. I have a standard 2 wheeled Baseline and always wondered if I should have instead gone for a spinner.

By the way, as everyone else said, B&R is the best brwnr if your a frequent flyer or want a bag that will last a lifetime.

Is the lifetime warranty transferable?

B&R stuff is amazing and I'd take it any day of the week over an unnamed, truly overpriced American brand. I've had my carry-on since 2010 and it's been with me on hundreds of thousands of kilometres of travel, including jammed into a shitty Ryanair overhead. It looks barely used. Buy one of their 19" or 21" International Carry-ons and you're more or less set for any 1 week trip for the rest of your life.

Edit: I understand some people don't like B&R because it's not sexy, but that's part of its appeal. Non-descript, durable and functional.

After 20 years of full time travel and all the Tumi’s, Samsonite and Travelpro bags. B&R are in a different class in terms of quality and customer service.
