More four wheel suitcases and wheel sets

If you are in the USA you have different choices because it costs a lot to ship sets of luggage, three suitcases, to the UK.

Having already acquired a small cabin bag on wheels, I'm now looking at the more substantial hard cases, or a stacking set. Space is at a premium in many locations, whether at home or in a hotel room.

20 inch case for £25 (less a penny, £24.90), free economy shipping, choice of colours including maroon, fastlineproduct, on eBay.

More brands include Rock.

Children
For children various designs include Spiderman, a little suitcase they can sit astride.

Business
For computers and files, some companies buy their staff bags such as the one with the brand name Kensington.

The user of a computer suitcase told me it did not hold a lot apart from the computers and flat papers. It has several zips and compartments so you can organise - or lose - your papers. A place for everything and everything in its place. You could keep everything in date order, whatever you need first in the front pocket. Or the heaviest item at the back by the handle to balance the suitcase and stop it tipping forward.

She had bought herself a wheeled suitcase from TKMaxx in the sale, half price, reduced to about £45, and various brands were offered including Guess.

If you want to add wheels to an old suitcase (how - superglue - maybe a suitcase repair shop could do it for you) you can buy sets of wheels on eBay. I've also seen a single wheel, which you attach with two screws and a rivet, not supplied.
