C-Lite is heavier and stronger than Lite Shock.
This. Stronger than lite shock sport and I prefer the handle on C-Lite.
Haven't had either so can talk about quality. Size very similar, C-Lite a bit lighter.

If you are indifferent about them, buy from The Iconic to take advantage of the New Customers First Order Offers: $75 off $350 @ THE ICONIC.
If you are on the fence and might want to return at a later date, buy from Amazon as The Iconic states This product cannot be returned or exchanged unless faulty.
I'd rather go for the 75cm versions. Lighter and you should easily be able to fit 25kg of luggage
I have both 75cm and 81cm of Lite shock and C-Lite; most of the time the 75cm ones cannot fit in 23kg of luggage. The 81cm ones are just okay.
Which is your favourite?
c-lite is better with the double handle, the handle is longer too
What about 23kg of bricks?
3 kg per brick, so for 7 bricks, you only need the smallest 55 cm.
@Arch9896: can the C Lite really take a beating like the ads and go back in shape?
you reckon the wheels would be the first to go?
As much as I'd love this, i prefer Book Open style suitcases.
Make easier to open anywhere without taking up space, at airports etc.
does samsonite do any book open ones? All I see is american tourister
I've got an american tourister and Lojel, Curio BO, does the job and affordable
this deal's book-opening/clam-shell - perhaps you mean top-opening?
@tonester: You're incorrect but it's ok.
Normal suitcases open from the middle, book open open from the top.
A simple google search would present the same answer.

It's ok, you keep it up.

@TightAl: ok, well since it sadly seems that you still can't do a simple google search despite it being your suggestion, here's the first result if you did:

Traditionally, hard shell suitcases have featured a 50:50 book-style split opening design. Now, with the advent of top-opening designs

Any recommendations on carry on suitcase? Is the upscape line any good? https://www.theiconic.com.au/upscape-spinner-55cm-exp-181185…
Or this Nuon one?
https://www.theiconic.com.au/nuon-spinner-55cm-exp-1860947.h…
Upscape Spinner 55cm EXP Is better material and lighter and cheaper
$1000 RRP for a suitcase?
Luggage is always discounted at 40% off during sales so the “RRP” has to be high.
The Harris Scarfe technique (also dubiously legal)
Damn, can't believe I missed this! Such an impressive suitcase
They price matching iconic, giving it a pass because it is classified as over$ized luggage by Qantas and many others
Wait, who are price matching the Iconic? Isn't this deal for the Iconic?
Forgive the silly question, but what makes it so good? I picked up an American Tourister 81cm during black Friday for about half this price. Used it for a trip away at the beginning of this year and it was great, there's nothing more I could think I'd want from luggage that size, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
Ultralight weight and durability for the size.
The difference is apparently 600g, but the Tourister has a larger volume. Of the 2 I’d take the extra space, but I guess that 600g could be important to someone.
Durability I guess I’ll just see. They both appear to have the same 10yr warranty, but at 2 or trips a year maybe I don’t use it enough to need the durability.
You are missing about 1kg of luggage you cannot take because of the difference in weight of the bag itself. For some that is worth the extra $100-150 over the 10 year life of a suitcase.
I don't find the difference much use in larger bags where I often get extra luggage allowance anyway, but for carry-on that is often limited to 7kg the ultra light cases are really worth it. For the 75cm bags also worth it when I am trying to stay under 23kg limits in economy class so I don't have to pay for extra luggage allowance.
Difference is a touch under a kg, but I guess if that’s critical then it makes a difference. Even with the extra volume that the Tourister had vs this, I was only hitting 21kg with it loaded up, but granted that was mostly clothes.
For carry on I absolutely get it, just couldn’t see much difference in these bigger ones.
Can you share link which you bought?
American Tourister Light Max 82cm. Paid $155 delivered.
4kg vs 3.1kg, so 900g heavier, but it also has a 144L capacity vs the 123L on the Samsonite, so depends on your needs I guess.
Great prices on the other sizes too. Just picked up another 75cm
Thanks for the heads up, I went and look to see that they were selling the American Tourister Curio Book Opening hardcase. This one is nice as the opening is on one side, so you can fill it up to the top, not common for a hard case. Usually it is the fabric suitcases that have the opening on one side.
I think this is a price error and they are addressing them now. I can still add the item in the cart but there is no more additional 40% off
Same, was about to check out and it changed. I even redeemed a gift card so now stuck with a bunch of iconic credit :(
Same. I'm about to check out and the price at check out is different.
Same, the discount is still displayed now and not out of stock. When added to cart it displays a higher price for all items. Was spending 30-45 minutes adding things to cart to then figure out there is no extra 40% discount.
Yup, I snoozed and loosed!
The cart is showing up as a different price.
Is there a price error or…?
This was a price error and seems like Samsonite are honouring the orders
Last time also they honoured the orders placed directly with them.
I made 3 orders this time. Missed this particular item.
Hope they don't get cancelled.
Anyone received the confirmation email or cancellation email?
Bought this luggage bag as well as the leather backpack - luggage bag got dispatched, no news for the backpack
Ordered 4 Samsonite items, 1 has shipped and received SMS from shipping company.
Order cancelled and was issued a refund.
Unfortunately, due to a technical issue, the Samsonite product range was incorrectly priced. As a result of this, we are unable to accept and process your order and will cancel your order for the Samsonite product(s) in accordance with clause 3.6 of our Terms & Conditions, which you can find here.
Note the good news is the pricing issue has now been resolved and Samsonite products are now available at up to 40% off, subject to availability, until 31 January 2025.
Lol, but it clearly says 'extra 40% off' on their website when this deal is live.
I got the same mail 🥲
I received a tracking for this order though
Let’s see if there’s any movement as I haven’t received that email nor a refund
I did receive the email for the backpack
Yeah I saw your comment above - I'm jealous! It's probably you made the order early, and they shipped before noticed the amount of other orders
I received a tracking for this order though
Let’s see if there’s any movement as I haven’t received that email nor a refund
which suitcase did you buy? lucky!
Just got that email as well. Devastated.. :'(
The discount code only applies to full price items.
Got the cancellation email and I am stuck with the store credit that I have no use for.
Join the party unfortunately, absolutely disgusted, should’ve hedged my bets and not bothered with a gift card
Did you specifically request to receive store credit? If not, then they should easily convert it to a cash refund if you contact their customer support.
Edit: if you paid with cash
I paid using the gift-cards, which I specifically bought for this purchase. I would have preferred a refund via gift cards that I could have then resold (for some loss, I expect) rather than the credit, which is now locked to my account.
I would try asking them to see if you can process a gift card order using store credit. No idea how technically possible it is since the gift cards appear to be managed on a separate platform, but nonetheless worth a try.
Also stuck with store credit. Not happy Jan!
No movement on the tracking number provided for my order. The Iconic has reached out to Samsonite to query further
Cancelled as well. Had to emailed support as tracking wasn’t updating, otherwise Samsonite will get free money if I didn’t chase up
I have 1 order in a similar situation, only initial tracking number and no movement for 2 weeks.
After waiting patiently without initiate any request to Iconic, the ordered luggage has delivered by Samsonite today.
Feeling lucky to receive the ordered luggage :)
well done :)
unfortunately this forum post can't be reverted back to a deal :(
Danggg and congrats!
False advertising. Alot of ppl bought GC just for this deal and end up with useless store credit. Soon The Iconic will be one of Catch.com.au
This or lite shock sport?
