Hello,
I'd just like to introduce myself as Review Centre's Travel Accessories Expert. If there is anything you want to know about this category, please feel free to ask me a question. I will do my utmost to give you the best possible answer.
So, here is a little bit about me. I am an avid traveller, you name it, I've been there, or want to go there. Travelling abroad is one of my main passions in life. I'm the most compact packer there is, I can easily fit a weeks holiday into a cabin suitcase. The trick? Always pack travel accessories that are built with travel in mind.
I have written a few guides with travel accessories in mind, so please do take a look before you embark on a journey. If you have any ideas for other guides you would like to read about, just send an email to [email protected], and I will have a look at them for you.

I purchased a Tripp hard case suitcase in December 2021 but because of Covid have only used it on three holidays. Each time the case has only carried less than the minimum baggage weight of 23kgs. As such I am disgusted that after only my third ever holiday using my suitcase, which was by far the most I have ever spent on a case, that two of the four wheels have caved in, with the surrounding area cracked and split! Tripp is supposed to be a good quality company and have a guarantee in their luggage so I am fuming that after spending so much money that this has happened! With two wheels caved in pushing it is now very difficult! I am due to go on holiday again in just two days time so this is how I noticed. I may as well have purchased some cheap supermarket brand! Not impressed!

They will easily deliver a suitcase of the wrong size and they are not ashamed to consider it the right one. They also attach paper with the right size to try to make a person a complete idiot. Never buy anything there again. I doubt that the reviews they have on their site under it are trustworthy draw from other sources as well. Did you receive a suitcase of the correct parameters as stated in the product notes? I experienced the inconvenience of delivering the same suitcase of the wrong size to me, and using a document of courage to pretend it was the right one, as if they didn't realize it was utter nonsense when the difference was so noticeable. Unfortunately, it was taken over for me by someone else who did not know what it was, but the absolute dilettantism and the fact that one has to deal with such nonsense just before an important business trip is simply appalling. as if they couldn't check it properly when he knew what the suitcase was supposed to look like, what dimensions it represented.

They are the company's true asset, and their tireless efforts should be respected.

We bought 2 cabin sized suitcases. These are of good quality and we are very pleased with them. However, on their second outing, someone tried to break into one case and we were left with a suitcase with no zip pull or way of securing it. Other than that, the case was fine. Tripp kindly located new zip pulls and posted them to us (at no cost to us), which has saved us buying a new case. I completely recommend this company.

1 bought Absolute lite II, large case then bought the other 2 for the set Med and Cabin. Have used the large several times no issues. First time I used the med case the 1 set of wheels came off in transit through airport ..... I contacted Tripp, they were apologetic and offered a replacement - excellent. As I'm out of the country Ill have to arrange it when I'm back home. But so far they have been very positive with their replies and assistance. Bought suitcases because of dislike of Zips. Nice and light and sturdy too.

An avid traveller by desire and necessity, my Tripp case has been used a lot. However, not all roads and paths are as well-designed as the cases. After several years of intensive use, one of the back the wheels completely wore down. This rendered the case fairly unusable. I was loathe to throw it away, not only because it is an excellent case,but also because of the waste and all that plastic. I therefore contacted Tripp and asked if it was possible to fix. Without issue, following some photos of the broken wheel, they sent me a new wheel without charge. It was easy to unzip the lining and screw in the new one. The service was also excellent and very friendly. It's just a shame they don't advertise this service first before offering a new case! Much better for the environment.

Excellent luggage for traveling. I bought it at the airport terminal 3 years ago and continue to use and nowtimes.

Excellent customer service and warranty. I got straight through on the phone. Very helpful. The 5 year guarantee for The Holiday model is genuine. My replacement and collection of the faulty case was completed within 5 days of contacting Tripp customer services. Only the TSA lock had become faulty, the actual case had lasted well. These large cases give a genuine large storage inside and are made of a very tough hard material so I wanted to stick with Tripp.

Bought 2 of these from Debenhams in Oxford Street, and they look nice - streamlined design. Handle fell apart on 2nd usage and looking the the remaining part of the handle fitting, it kind of chips away as you touch it - like chalk. Looks like the rubber mix must have been too soft! Live overseas so cannot easily return but will try to tackle them when I go back this Christmas. Disappointing as they look nice and cost enough!

Thank you for your review regarding your 2 cases.
I'm so sorry to hear that you've had issues with the handle on the case. Are you able to send us through some images of the case now? I understand that you are now living abroad but we can discuss the way forward in terms of bringing them back in for an exchange under our guarantee.
You can find our email address on the website, I'm afraid that I'm unable to post it here.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused to you.
Kind Regards

I did contact Customer Services and they have been very helpful and have arranged to swap the case for a replacement one - no fuss. Based on the correspondence with Customer Services, I would definitely consider buying from them in future.

Bought a case from this second rate company and fully regret it. It lasted 1 trip intact, the second trip a wheel fell off, the third trip another fell off. Contacted the company and they would not honour their guarantee. Be cautious because they only allow reviews on their site immediately after purchase so the glowing reviews they choose to display are only based on the look on the product. Once you have actually used the product and it has failed (as these terrible products inevitably will), you cannot review - hence their appalling rating in review centre against the 4.8 out of 5 stars they boast about. Avoid at all costs.

Thank you for your review.
I understand that we have recently been in contact with you regarding your issue. A replacement case was offered to you however as we no longer manufactured the case in the same colour as you had originally we were unable to offer you an exact replacement. You then advised us that you would therefore keep the case you had as you had made a repair on it.
We do try in every instance to resolve any issues however we were under the impression that you were happy to keep your current case. We are more than happy to discuss an alternative replacement if you would prefer.
The review emails are automatically sent out 1 month after your initial order however we cannot resend a review link for an order which is over 1 year old I'm afraid.
As discussed, we understand that you will also be writing to us regarding this however please don't hesitate to get in touch with us via email or telephone if you prefer. We are unable to post the contact details here but they can be found on our website.
Kind Regards

I bought a Glide Lite cabin 2 wheel suitcase and was horrified to discover the first and only time I used it it kept falling over! I checked some reviews and saw that some other people had found the same problem. As an elderly female had it not been for some helpful people I met on route I don't know how I would have managed. I certainly would not recommend this product.
Written on: 21/09/2017
Thank you for your review.
I'm very sorry to hear that you've had issues with your Glide Lite cabin case.
Although it is a 2 wheel case it should stand up on its own, we have sold the Glide Lite case for around 8 or 9 years and we are not aware of an ongoing issue of this nature. Have you been in touch with customer services about this? If not then please find out details on the Tripp.co.uk website as we are unfortunately unable to post them here. We can then arrange to get the case inspected for you as soon as possible.
I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused to you and look forward to hearing from you soon to try and get this resolved.

I purchased a holdall which was not suitable, I did not like the quality so have been trying to return it, the courier company (Yodel)have not turned up despite staying in all day and only to be told they will reschedule and I will have to stay in another day as they don't give a time slot. Why do they make it so difficult to return items... why cant they do what other companies do and either issue a return label or arrange for drop off centres... Not happy and would not recommend Tripp

We purchased a large soft bodied Tripp case from Debenhams last year. We used it last summer and again this summer and the case is already ripping at the seam. I am very disappointed with this but also concerned because all our luggage is from Tripp as we thought this was a quality brand, and I am now wondering if our other six cases are going to go the same way.
Written on: 07/09/2017
Thank you for your feedback.
I'm very sorry to hear that there's an issue with your case. We do operate a 5 year guarantee in the unlikely event that there is an issue with your product as we are confidant in the strength and durability of our products.
Would you be able to email us over a few images of the case in question so we can assess if it's a manufacturing fault? Unfortunately I am unable to post our contact details here but you can find them on the Contact Us section of the Tripp website.
I look forward to hearing from you soon so we can try and get your issue resolved as soon as possible.

We bought a full set of Tripp suitcases along with two cabin size ones for our children. Two holidays later and the carry handles have snapped on our children's cases. We can't find our receipts for the warranty and there is no way of purchasing replacement handles.
Written on: 17/08/2017
Thank you for your feedback regarding your suitcases.
Although we don't offer a spare parts or repairs service, your cases are covered by a 5 year guarantee. Even without your receipt, we can tell the age of the case from a batch number which is included on a label attached to the lining of the case.
If you could please contact our customer services department, the details of which you will find on the Tripp.co.uk website, I can assist you further with this.
I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and look forward to hearing from you soon.

We bought a Tripp suitcase from Debenhams, at a clearance price. We should have been a bit more cautious. Two "trips" later and the carry handle, not the trolley handle, has snapped off in our hands, as we put it in the overhead locker. Searching for a replacement is a waste of time, with Tripp themselves stating they cannot recommend a suitable site to find a replacement. Managing the suitcase without the handle is extremely awkward, despite trying it on two very long haul flights. Thoroughly disappointing, and another item to add the landfill. Warranty is the key issue here; one can almost expect suitcases to fail you, so keep your receipt, and log your warranty.

Thank you for your review regarding your Tripp cases.
Firstly I sincerely apologise that you have had an issue with the handles on your case and secondly that we have been unable to replace the case for you.
Our 5 year guarantee covers all manufacturing issues and this fault would be covered under our guarantee. We are unable to repair or replace spare parts on our cases and so a replacement suitcase would be offered.
If you could get back in touch with us via the Contact us page on the Tripp website, I can try and assist you further with this.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I bought a Tripp hardshell suitcase in January. On it's 2nd trip, it split on one corner. It was fine when it came off the carousel but split afterwards. I returned it to the shop but was told that the guarantee is worthless as Tripp tell customers to claim off the airline. This wasn't damaged by the airline. "Blame the taxi then" she said "There's always someone to blame". I'm blaming Tripp as this was an expensive suitcase and should survive being handled at a airport. Don't waste your money. Only have it 1 star as there wasn't an option for zero.

Thank you for your review.
I'm sorry to hear that your case has been damaged. I'm very sorry for your disappointment and I understand your frustration with this situation.
We operate a 5 year guarantee which covers all manufacturing issues however this does not cover transit damage such as airline damage or general wear and tear. We would always inspect all cases in order to ascertain whether the case would be covered by our guarantee.
Please be assured that we test all of our cases to ensure that they are robust enough to withstand the normal amount of handling expected during transit. It would normally take a huge amount of force to crush, dent or crack one of our cases which is why after an inspection it was deemed not to have been due to a fault with the manufacture of the suitcase.
If you would like to send us over some images of the case by email then I would be more than happy to look at this again for you? Our details can be found on the Tripp website, I am unfortunately unable to post them here.
We look forward to hearing back from you soon.
Kind Regards
