A zipper broke on the removable cover on my son's baseball catcher's bag. Anyone who has a child in…read morebaseball/softball knows gear can be expensive, especially anything having to do with catcher's gear. We had won the bag in a raffle, and it is expensive to replace (about $200). So I took it down to Luggage Service to see if it could be repaired. The owner was there and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He understood the issue immediately and explained my options. Instead of recommending the most expensive fix (replacing the entire zipper), he recommended permanently attaching the cover to the bag with a piece of leather at the detachment point where the zipper was broken ($30). He said that it's the most economical option and would make the zipper more "boy proof." He said to leave it with him and it would be done in a couple of hours. When I returned a couple of hours later, the bag was behind the counter and his daughter greeted me as soon as I walked in. If you go onto their website, the business has an incredible 107 year history in Tampa with several photos of how the company grew over the century and the historic buildings they occupied. She and I talked about that for a few moments as she cashed me out. Before you throw out a damaged bag or suitcase, consider Luggage Service Repair! They also have a huge selection of luggage and other types of bags for sale in their showroom.

TravelPro no longer has the parts available, so I started calling authorized repair shops. The folks at Luggage Service were so friendly over the phone and provided me an approximate pricing range but stressed they needed to see it before telling me the exact amount. I made the drive from Orlando to Tampa and found out why they have been in business for over 100 years.... quality workmanship, excellent customer service and reasonable pricing. The best thing is that my trusty WalkAbout Lite 3 has a new lease on life and is rolling like a brand-new bag!!

I purchased a travel bag in late December 2021. While completing my transaction I specifically…read moreasked about returns and was assured I could get full return. Today, December 28th I returned to the store to return my item as it wasn't exactly what my wife wanted. The very nice lady at the counter informed us we could only get an instore return receipt. This was NOT my understanding when I purchased this bag. The lady working in the store told me "this is the only time of the year I don't like working here". Apparently this store has a history of pulling this trick on customers. We asked to talk with the owner but were told "they are on vacation this week" Isn't that convenient this week after Christmas? My name is Jim White and I can be reached at 618-263-8499 should the owner of this store have the character to call me and make this right. Note: I support the idea of keeping our small business in operation but you never have this problem with Amazon.

Prices were ok not great but in this specialty area, availability is most important. I called before I drove there and they were able to let me know they carry such items.

It's hard to know what to think about QVC. On the one hand, their constant hyperactive shilling for…read morean endless array of fashion, home electronics and kitchen gadgetry can be mind numbing in the extreme. However, with close to $12B in sales, someone's watching this cable television stalwart... including me. Like most infomercial producers, they are in the instant need creation business. When you woke up this morning I bet you didn't think a set of solar powered garden gnomes or Spanx for your chubby canine would be on their way to your home. But you're about to find out you can't live without either of them. Absolutely no one is impervious to their evangelical zeal. Personally, I have purchased one thing from these capitalist carnival barkers -- a juicer that soon departed the earth after dispensing very little juice. No doubt the squeeze was on me. No matter, I simply can't turn away. Two grass fed steaks on easy-pay for $200. No way, you say... yes way... say their operators. Someone's certainly making their "number sold" chyron spin. As cable descends into a death spiral of cheapskate programming and reruns QVC's brand of reality show huckster bluster is a car wreck that you can't turn away from. Hold it, James Taylor's on, promoting his QVC exclusive Christmas album. Santa's big day is only seven months away and by QVC's calendar, that's right around the corner. Merry Christmas everyone! Five easy reindeer.

QVC (short for "Quality Value Convenience") is an American free-to-air television network and a…read moreflagship shopping channel specializing in televised home shopping, owned by Qurate Retail Group. Founded in 1986 by Joseph Segel in West Chester, Pennsylvania. My daughter buys lots of merchandise from QVC and as boring as I find watching this network I do let her purchase items for me. Our favorite time of year is Xmas holiday shopping. It's a great place to buy items for friends and family. One year we purchased little light up Xmas trees for our friends. I still have mine. I'm not into sitting watching them go on and on about a product. If you want something specific I believe you can go online and search QVC. Go ahead and shop until you drop!

I put in for application.. Now I got interviewed the first time the lady liked me and told me to come in for a second interview- The black manager woman who is lead over cash register is so ratchet and ghetto- First she looked a hot mess I tried to reach to shake her hand she said we don't do hand shakes- then she did my interview at the register.. like she already had in her mind not to hire me but Good Lord!! she could've did that better!! i work at Walmart 8yrs and even though I'm no longer there they interview was better then this and they pay way more..

Out of the corner of my eye I saw something move swiftly, with a long tail. It was a nasty rat!!! A fat one too! I think it'd been eating the pet food for a while, because it was enormous. That really turned me off, and I haven't come back since. But, since I've been traveling a lot more lately and I'm in dire need of new luggage on the cheap, I unwisely decided to come back here to browse. Well as I was looking for some sturdy checked luggage, suddenly a poopy diaper appeared on the shelf! I'm so mad right now, and disgusted. If they just cleaned and gave a hint of a damn, this Burlington would be at most decent.
