[Resolved]  American Tourister — Broken Zippers after 2 trips

I purchased an American Tourister suitcase in November 2010. Have taken it on two trips. When I reached Albuquerque on the second trip, the zippers on the outside pocket were both snapped. I am amazed that I did not lose the book that was inside this pocket. Who's to blame, the airline industry for treating the bag so badly? or the luggage company that gives you a ten year warranty with the bag but I'm unable to find a web site to get reimbursed for the bag.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have purchased 1 back pack from Fort William Canteen on[protected]. After 2 weeks onwards I started using it. I use the bag twice in a week. From 4th week onwards, it started disturbing me. On the 4th week its Zip Puller came out from 1 of the chain on 24th June. Then I get repaired from KIRON Samsonite (RASH BEHARI AVENUE BESIDE SONY WORLD, KOLKATA-700029, Phone:+[protected] and get back it on 03-07-11. Then after few weeks o[censored]se stitches got removed from 4 different places & then again I took it KIRON Samsonite for repairing on 31st July and get it repaired back on 14th August. This time KIRAN Samsonite has assured me that they’ll instruct the serving centre to make a full stitch of the whole bag. When I went there to receive the bag I saw the bag is stitched but a discrepancy is there, in the bottom I saw the stitch was not done properly some. Out of the 4 parts where the stitches got removed, 1 part’s stitch was not done properly. I told them that this hasn’t been accordingly and this would remove soon after using few days o[censored]se. They told me to use it & if any defect arises then I should come again. The incident which I was thinking of yet to happen was happened again on 10th September and I took it again to KIRON Samsonite for repairing. The place which I doubted while receiving on 14th August has happened again i.e. the stitch gets removed from the place again due to bad stitching from your servicing centre. You give 18 months of product warranty, and within 3 months out of 18 months the product got damaged thrice. I generally use the anything whether it is a bag or something else, I use it very carefully. If you see the condition of the bag, then you’ll see it how good its condition is. If you place my bag near a new bag you don’t get any difference between old & new bag. If this was your product quality, then I don’t think I would recommend next time any one to buy your product. It may hamper your goodwill due to your defective or poor product qualifies. Now I think it’s your company’s responsibility to rectify the errors while making any quality product so as to overcome the defects in manufacturing. So what should I do, should this repetitive repairing work be continued for me within the purchase of 3 months or should I get a new replacement bag without any manufacturing defects since after getting the new bag as replacement?

Let us consider that you have provided me a new replacement, then in that case should I again get 18 months of warranty, or you won’t provide this warranty as you have given the new replacement bag. Please clarify. And it is my humble request to take necessary measures while making any quality product because after buying such an expensive product if the customer won’t satisfy then he or she may not go for branded products again and not even recommend any one to buy your product. So please take necessary actions against this. Hope you’ll look into the matter with care.

Thanks & regards
