Samsonite Proxis Suitcase 81cm - Black/Silver/Green/Lime $359.64 Delivered @ The Iconic

590

Looks like there are a few deals around for Samsonite at the moment, and you can double stack an extra 40% off to get the Samsonite Proxis for under $360. RRP is $999 but usually on sale for $599 in the 81cm variant. Could be an ATL for this model Apparently not an ATL but close.

Picked up the lime to hopefully stand out a bit at the airport.

    Use code HEYICONIC75 for extra $75 off for new ICONIC accounts

    • Thanks this worked

    • I made another account and tried again but it doesn’t seem to be working anymore unless I add two suitcases

    • +1

      This code also worked for me. Came to $284. Bargain! Thank you!

    I actually really like the lime! But have too many suitcases already

  • I’ve always liked the DLX which is also cheap. As are the Alu ones

  • Anyone have experience using both antler and Samsonite and can give their 2 cents worth?

    • Have an Antler Lincoln in forest green, older model but it's been very very good so far. Sturdy, decently light, lots of colours if you like that and lifetime warranty is such a good thing to have.

    • We have both, Samsonite is better in every regard. Nicer look, better interior, lighter. It's like a porsche vs a VW. The VW is nice but the porsche is luxury.

      Worth the upgrade / extra money.

    I just cancelled my Amazon order and bought from iconic. More choices and faster delivery! But the $75 extra discount can't be applied.

      Why is this being downvoted?

    I purchased it for $349 from David Jones in Dec, so not ATL

    Beware if you are planning to use this for airline travel as it is classed as oversized. The maximum allowable combined linear dimensions is 158cm, and this is 171cm. You run the risk of being charged an oversized baggage fee if they decide to enforce the rule. Maybe that is why there are quite a few deals at the moment for these larger cases.

      Good find. Makes this suitcase absolutely worthless IMO.

    • +3

      Geniue question - Why they manufacture luggages for this size if airlines are not going to accept that as normal luggage, how many everyday customers are happy to pay extra because they are called oversize ???

      • Some airlines / classes accept over 158cm

      • Not everyone flies. Any normal person filling this suitcase will easily exceed the 23kg allowance anyways, it would be closer to 30kg.

    • +2

      Realistically an 81cm suitcase isn't going to draw any attention, I've taken a dumb amount of domestic and international flights over the last few years and I don't think I've seen anyone scrutinise luggage that closely. They'd only pick you up on it if it is obviously oversize.

    • +1

      Willing to run the risk with counter bag drops. Doubt most staff will actually check the dimensions when it's only over by so little. But I do wonder if the automatic bag drop machines measure size? Or purely weight?

  • +1

    Not sure of the appeal on hard suitcases. Less pockets, holds less luggage, can crack and break. Might protect your luggage better but what else are you putting in your suitcase besides clothes and toiletries?

    Soft suitcase all the way for the seasoned traveller.

    • Soft case is supreme for bigger suitcases. For carry-on I still prefer hard case to protect my electronics and fragile items from the weather.

    55cm Carry on ones are $120.60 from $335

    I’m a new customer so got one for $100.60

    • Did you use any code?

    • it's 24cm deep. jetstar's limit is 23cm. are they strict?

      • +1

        I have known Jetstar to weigh bags but I haven't seen them check dimensions.

      • No
        Same thing with Virgin

        Just got back using both Airlines and Jetstar weighed all our carry ones which was 2 but never measured them and virgin didn’t even weigh them

        A few passengers had bags that were a lot bigger then carry on 55cm too. One guy had a 1m duffle bag on board hahaha

    • Jeez….2.6kg?

      My Samonsite 55cm hardcase from some years back weighs 1.3kg.

    • Thanks, I got it for $94.60 via the discount and 6% off Macquarie Gift Cards. Great price, got a green one to stand out at the airport.

    • I'd love one of these but at 2.6kg, the paranoia is real when going over 7kg carry on weight! Why cant it just be 10kg limit:((

  • If you purchase 6% off iconic giftcard through macquarie bank it will be $337.46

  • Thank you! I have the Proxis 81 and added the 75cm to my ensemble.

    Btw add heyiconic50 if buying the 75 under a new account and if you have Macquarie, buy iconic gift cards for the remaining $291.

    Proxis 75 came out $275 delivered. Amazing price

  • Thanks! got the Proxis 81 for $284 using the code HEYICONIC75 (Only works on new accounts)

  • is this better or the C-lite better?

    • On par, c lite is lighter, but more basic finishes inside from memory. I have a proxis and love it, but it does lightly scratch quite easily. But the Samsonite suitcase cover is great.

      Id go the C lite, but the carry on proxis has the built in usb charger. Can't go wrong either way

  • Can you stack the $75 welcome with discounted gift cards?

    • +1

      Yes

  • NIce , got the Samsonite Major-Lite 69cm for $320 with the HEYICONIC75…thats a great price.

  • Thanks OP. Got this one for 279$ with coupon HEYICONIC50 on a newly created account.
    Kind of a dream come true.

  • Thanks OP and BargainsGrabber! HEYICONIC75 worked for me as a new member, $284.64 delivered, what a steal!

    Samsonite had an ad showing this case surviving a 211 kg piano drop. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeUkuPIqdkY. The camera cut away at 19s is a bit suss though… Lol.

  • Grabbed the Proxis 81cm and Oc2lite 55cm for $380.93 with the $75 welcome code and 6% discount through Bupa

    Thanks OP

  • Thanks OP.

    Curious to know if these are indeed worth 999 or even the discounted price. The 99 dollar Kmart Premium Hard Case 8 Wheels has been doing really well for me.

    • the quality would be very different.. I don't know if it's 10x better but I would definitely buy it for 3x the price if you travel semi regularly. the cheapo Big W/Kmart ones are great until they are not

    • I sometimes buy suitcases in China for $40. They're mostly lasting a handful of uses at most. But at one trip every few years, that is already going to be almost a decade.

      One I got in Japan for around $60 lasted me almost 9 years until the rubber on one of the wheels broke (not the actual wheel). Its very much a mileage may vary, but I would be travelling multiple times a year before justifying that RRP.

      In all cases, the interior compartments died after a few years for all suitcases, expensive or not. So you'd end up with a bag where the exterior might be fine but the interior isnt any good anymore. If that's the case, why not buy something where all components last around the same time?

      • I have a few cheap suitcases. One thing I struggle with the most is the smoothness of the wheels.

        I often have 25kg+ of stuff that needs to be dragged across the airport and the bumpy footpaths, the cheap ones are so difficult to manoeuvre and make me want to throw them in the bin every single time.

    • I find the difference with the cheap ones is in the fixtures. I have a Kmart one and an Aldi one, the cases themselves are fine but the handles and wheels are always the first to go.

      For this one I wouldn’t pay the RRP or even the usual sale price but this is a great deal.

  • $599 for me at check out

    • Looks like they’ve caught onto the price error

      • Same here, has anyone know how to get around this?

      • uh-oh, potential price error email, cancellation and refund incoming then.
        It was strange as 40% off $999 is $599.40 so it looks like they applied it twice.

        • You got a price error email already?

          • @Rician distribution: Not yet and I hope it does not come but I think they made a mistake and applied the 40% discount twice…

  • Adding it to the bag, price is more expensive than on the main page. Price error fixed in cart

  • Games over

  • When you goto check out its 599

  • GG it's fixed
