Seriously, the cost of replacing a little wheel on a suitcase or a handle grip is highway robbery! I recently had to replace a wheel on a rolling suitcase, and the official manufacturer's website wanted almost half the price of a new, similar suitcase just for the single wheel and a couple of screws. It's absurd.
It makes you wonder if they deliberately design these things to fail so they can rake in the profit on replacement parts. It almost feels more economical to just buy a whole new bag, which contributes to so much unnecessary waste. Has anyone else noticed this trend,or am I just unlucky? Are there any reliable third-party options out there that don't cost an arm and a leg? I'm starting to think duct tape is the most cost-effective luggage repair solution.
