If you're in Singapore and need to repair your luggage wheels or other components, there are several service centers to help. The article lists reputable service centers for major luggage brands like Rimowa, Tumi, Samsonite, Delsey, and more. Common repairs include wheels, handles, locks, and zippers, but some damages, like cracked casings or surface scratches, can't be repaired. For issues covered by warranties, contacting the retailer or wholesaler is recommended. For damages from airport handling, insurance claims may apply.

Choosing the right luggage size depends on various factors, such as your travel destination, duration, airline regulations, and storage space at home. For short trips or tropical destinations, a 20-inch carry-on is ideal. For a week-long trip, a 24-inch suitcase works well, especially for budget airlines. For longer vacations, especially in colder climates or regions with more shopping opportunities, a 28-inch suitcase is recommended. Keep in mind airline baggage allowances and ensure your luggage fits comfortably at home, especially if storing multiple suitcases.
