I filed a claim at the airport. They wanted to give me one of their replacement bags which I politely declined but then told me I need to call the baggage supervisor during the week and that he is only available certain hours. I called United on the way home and they gave me the option to buy a new one since I wasn't sure how easy it will be for B&R to repair a polycarb bag.

I'm still not convinced the person I spoke to had the power to authorize a $500+ check to be sent... will double check and offer the ETC option.
