I received my package about 2 weeks ago.

Have not replaced any of the tags missing from my luggage yet, as I have not had the time to go to the hardware store to get some



Slightly related matter... I suggest checking your metal tags from time-to-time. No, not just the too-easy-to-come-loose strap. There is another issue.

Apparently, the tags are laminated from two sheets of metal. An examination with a hand lens confirmed this for both last year's and this year's tags.

The concern is that one of my tags, after typical baggage hold abuse, had become de-laminated at one of the corners and a 3/8-inch portion of the thinner layer of metal had been bent up to make what would likely have been a very effective cutting edge.

Just a heads-up.
