American Tourister Luggage Lifetime Warranty?
During my December 2022 trip to
India, I acquired a suitcase from a
local shop in Delhi that sold
American Tourister Luggage, a
globally recognized brand. This
particular suitcase was
accompanied by a lifetime warranty.
Upon my return to India in January
2024 and as I prepared to travel
back to Canada on February 5th,
2024, I discovered a two-inch cut on
the suitcase during the packing
process.
Curious about the warranty
coverage, I approached the shop,
and to my pleasant surprise, the
salesman assured me that they would honor the warranty
and provide a replacement. Remarkably, within seven days I
received a new suitcase at no cost.
I express my gratitude to the helpful salesman at the store,
for his assistance in addressing this issue and facilitating the
provision of a complimentary replacement suitcase. Sharing
his photo and business card information here as a token of
appreciation. His name is Avnish Shukla. Store is American
Tourister Shop at G-4 Plot No. 2 Manish Twin Plaza, Sector 4,
Dwarka Delhi. Tel: 9625878707.
