About how long should it take for the replacement to arrive? I don't need the bag urgently but I want to know how long before I start calling and saying "Hey, where is it?"

As I said, it was kind of a standard item, it was a Travelpro Crew 7 folding garment bag, they're now on the Crew 11 series but the same model is available.
huh. You just gonna wait a few months, then some no-name bag shows up...and you are SOL. What makes you think some clerk at Rhynn will think a TPCrew 11 is the right replacement????

Id say "I'm going to replace it, where should I send the receipt for reimbursement?"

Always try to limit the power to screw you
