BROKEN WHEEL
Very disappointed with Calpak customer service. Rarely do I spend good money on a suitcase but have spent a decent amount with CalPal. On a recent trip from LAX to Maui, after setting my suitcase down in security, the wheel literally snapped and came out of the base of the suitcase. Making the suitcase unable to roll and caused a HUGE inconvenience on my trip. I purchased the suitcase in 2020 and do understand that it has been some time since I purchased. But honestly have maybe used the suitcase 30 times? NEVER checking and always a carry on. I emailed customer service hoping they could send me a wheel as my husband can likely replace. I even offered to BUY the wheel. Nope, they can do NOTHING for me. Making my suitcase completely useless and now trash. They offered me 15% off of a brand new suitcase. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I was told "Our replacement parts are very limited at this time." Okay - make them NOT limited and provide a good customer service experience. I WILL NOT be purchasing from CalPal ever again. DO BETTER.

We're sorry the wheel gave out at such an inconvenient moment, especially with a trip already underway. We understand the frustration of a bag you've relied on for years suddenly becoming unusable. Glad to say this has now been resolved. Our team was able to track down the replacement wheel and get it shipped out to you. We hope it gets your suitcase rolling again soon. We appreciate you sticking with us through this, and we hear you on the replacement parts availability. Thank you for giving us the chance to make it right.
