Any indication of available stock?
any indication about the prices and stocks.. anyone been there this year??
May be very cheap,saw one guy was carrying 7 luggage. didn't get a chance to go inside.
Anyone been and seen the Vizair backpacks, really wasn't one of those
went there at 9:40 line up until 12:40 (they run out of stock after 1hour, let everyone out then restock some mid and small sized blue and grey hard cases) large 150 mid 120 small 75. after restocked limited 2 hard cases per person. freezing cold wear some warm clothes if you go and be there about 8 am.
Wow seems like a lot of work!
Without some solid model/price info I'd be very reluctant.
Wow - seems like a good sale. Samsonite were very good before and I have an X-blade upright from overseas for work which is awesome. However, my brother spent a fair bit on a hard case one and although it is really light it cracked. Think it's a bit of luck at present.
That's last years.. I would really love to know which model samsonite hard cases are they selling this year?
anyone been today?
i heard that, this time the price of those Samsonite suitcases has gone up this year?
without knowing the models this time, as per http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/111285#comment-1514090, they are $75/$120/$150, compared with $80/$100/$150 previously as per http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/86222#comment-1128789
Start queueing this morning around 8am and already had to stand by the premise's gate. Probably around 70-80 people in front of me. Approaching weekend i would recommend to start queueing at 7am. :)
The hot pancake is definitely still the Aerial hard suitcase in 3 sizes which pretty much gone within the first 15 minutes. Price $85 (i start to doubt upon seeing the previous post) small / $120 mid / $150 large. But the RRP for small is $399. No brainer really after queueing an hour. Limited to 2 Samsonite Hard Suitcase as mentioned in other post. Other brands like American Tourister which is also hard suitcase for those who got no luck with Samsonite, you can grab as many as you want. I stood there for 40 minutes as i am really after the large Samsonite, hoping they would restock but it didnt happen as they are pushing out other Samsonite Model ie. the soft fabric suitcase.
2 advices -
1) Queue really early and fit in within first 50-60 if you are after the Aerial bargain. Else dont bother to go as they dont restock immediately unless you want to keep waiting.
2) Start running toward the end of the warehouse the moment you enter the door as that's where Aerial suitcase be.No brainer really after queueing an hour.
lol
2 advices -
good tips - thanks :)
Cheapest I've ever seen them.
They had:
Samsonite Aerial Small/Medium/Large ($85/$120/$150) - Limited to 2 Per Person
Samsonite B'Lite Small/Medium ($75/$100) - Unlimited
Samsonite Business Laptop Bags (Around $50) - Unlimited
Samsonite Duralite Small/Medium ($75/$100) - UnlimitedThe above sums up approximately what they had.
Queues Saturday Morning:
6AM-7AM: Approx 20 people
7AM-8AM: Approx 100 people
8AM-9AM: Approx 200 peopleTherefore go early if you want a Aerial, if you don't then you can go later for the B'Lite or Duralite Stock.
You must be within the first 20 people to get an Aerial, as they have extremely limited stock, and when I went in, took about 5 minutes to clear them all.
Have travelled with crap luggage and with quality luggage. I greatly recommend the latter. Have 2 ridiculously light Samsonites, last forever and allow you to pack more in them without ever getting damaged (so far!)
