There weren't anymore in the Costco I got it from, hopefully I can find one in the area.
I know this post didn't add much to this thread, just venting -- as this is one of the few places people would understand the disappointment of opening a new piece of good luggage to find out that it is a used piece of junk. I'll follow up if I get any grief from Costco, which I'm not expecting.
Sounds awful. I have a tendency to buy things online and not open them until I need them (which could be long after) -- I need to rethink that strategy.
Good luck in Costco, and bad luck to the thief that took advantage of Costco.
