I've been watching the price of these for a while and looks like they have dropped again. Mixed reviews on products and warranty, however seems to be a pretty good price to take a chance.
Note - 81cm - May exceed dimensions for most airlines.

Includes free shipping.
Edit - Unsure if version Fl 2 and 3.0 are different. 3.0 is available on eBay using 5% off coupon P5OZZIE. Slightly more expensive
Don't think they cover wheels either!!
Indeed! Had a big heated discussion with one of their service centres about this. If the wheels stick out, they don’t repair under warranty unless you can prove that it wasn’t because of carrier damage (then why do they design these things with wheels that stick out! Airlines won’t cover wheels either. In my case Samsonite did replace them under ‘goodwill’ since the suitcase (this particular model) was less than 12 months old.
it looks like they are selling the 2.0 model? i don't know much about luggage. but i've looking for the COSMOLITE 3.0 .
never mind , i saw the 3.0 on their website. thanks
Wait, so is this the Cosmolite 3? What's the difference between the 2 and 3?
3.0 is meant to be 123L and 2.9kg. Instead of 3.1kg (can't remember capacity)
Didn't realise there was different models. I have added 3.0 model with eBay links to description.
If you google the product code (73351-5047) it comes up as the 3.0 anyway so it's probably the same thing?
You're right. That's weird. I'll leave both links up anyways in case one sells out. Thanks
i think on the same website it also sells 3.0, please see the link below, i don't know what's the difference, i am hoping some luggage expert can help me with it. haha
Thanks for the post but I would add the following Samsonite as the header - should get heaps of votes

Probably :) That's an awesome deal. I don't want to steal your thunder though. haha.
There's some on EBay at around the same price too. Good time to buy
Great price op!! But already have 2, havent tested it out and given the mixed reviews, dont want to risk more..
Fl2 is cosmolite 3.0 i think. tags show SPINNER81/30FL2. Just that copper colour is discounted more than red, blue and black.
I don't know why people keep saying this is a bad product, I have a 81cm case cosmolite and it's the best purchase I've ever made - no issues whatsover and I have brought it overseas multiple times since
Do you load it to +20kg? Or under?
I have the same thing and been using it to lots of place without issue and most of them above 20kg. There are few instances that i need to sit on top of it to close it.
Usually 27kg. Never had an issue with oversized luggage as well (81cm)
I have bought 4 of these over the years and also noticed no issues as above
dang.. been wanting this.. buy or nah buy or nah… spent so much lately from discount after discount after discount…..
Too expensive still!! I bought some from aliexpress and taobao. honestly they are awesome and much cheaper
link pls….
My experiences with the Cosmolite 2 and Cosmolite 3.0 is that the Ver 3 is slightly lighter (roughly 0.2kg), the wheels are a different design and use lighter materials (personally I thought the wheels on the Ver 2 seemed more robust, but no problems so far with the 3.0), and the "wet area" inside the case is a see-through mesh in the Ver 2, but a more conventional plastic/vinyl cover in the 3.0. The zips and locks are also a slightly different look and feel, better on the 3.0 in my opinion.
This colour is an "acquired taste", but the luggage itself is great. I've been using it for years. $250 is a steal!
thanks for the comparison! i was trying to get into Myer's website to see if there is any information for 2.0 but it looks the website has been hacked.
Aww price went up.
Still expensive. No Thanks. I will buy branded one from overseas for less than half price.
P5OZZIE code won't work? Bah it's cause it's in the tickets travel section
Everyone has upped their prices now what a shame. I thought this suitcase would be end of life in this colour anyways, surprised they upped their prices. Cheapest now is bag world @309 with SCORE30 coupon. https://www.bagworld.com.au/shop/detail/samsonite-cosmolite-…
Bought the cosmolite from eBay anyway @ $266. Need one for Europe!
Want one for Europe.
Wow crazy prices I think 'll use my bags into the ground till there are some decent sales
Has anyone had any issue with purchasing luggage with these said sellers?
I personally have purchased a Crash (brand) luggage from Ebay from a scum seller, at a discounted price, and then once received, it felt different to the exact same model i have but smaller size.
Badge, wheel. Zipper etc were the giveaways. I even contacted the brands official page and they confirmed it was counterfeit.
Neither ebay or paypal did anything. That piece of shit is still selling the fake items.
I had a look at the above ebay links, and prices are quite tempting but given i got burnt once, i wanted to check if these sellers are trustworthy.
Cheers
Piece of junk. Used it twice and on my second trip, I discovered a crack and Samsonite will not cover it under warranty as its not a workmanship/quality issue but caused by the carrier. Basically they only cover if the wheels fall off or the zipper doesn't work. These hard cases are not as strong as they claimed to be.
