Oh nice. The wheels on my Victorinox disintegrated after ~5 years and they charged me to replace them.

5 years of how much usage? Most companies aren't really gonna replace that kind of wearable. Not saying wheels are consumable but they are kind of.

Light use. They didn't break. The plastic/rubber decomposed.

I didn’t mind if they get used up, if I can buy the replacement wheels for it. And if they wheels are affordable. All suitcase wheels are held on by 4 screws and should be user replaceable within few mins.

Yeah, I should have looked for a replacement wheel instead of bringing it back to the shop.
I wonder if you can work backwards, and find luggages that are easily fixable, and pick the most rugged of that type?

That’s exactly what I’m looking for. I don’t need 20 years of warranty for “normal use”. I need a luggage that’s self repairable and the seller offers replacements parts for a long time.
