Thanks so much for the reply! That's what I suspected, but I was hoping the quality control wouldn't be so bad
. Should I just avoid places like Marshall's/TJ Maxx altogether and fork over another $100+ to get something that's hopefully better quality?
I've never used hard shell suitcases before--when it broke, did the plastic actually crack too? At least if a fabric suitcase rips, the whole thing isn't in danger of falling apart.. Maybe I'd better stick to fabric then! Thanks again
