THERE IS A CERTAIN  SUPPLIER OF LUGGAGE ON EBAY WHO TRADE FROM GERMANY, TRADING AS LP STORE.  THEY HAVE RELATIVLY CHEAP POSTAGE AND PACKING. WEB PAGE IS  PROFESSIONAL LOTS OF NICE SPEIL ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BUT IN REALITY WHEN THINGS GO WRONG THEY AINT INTERESTED. THEY SAY RETURN GOODS FOR REFUND (MINUS POSTAGE) BUT A SET OF SUITCASES FROM UK TO GERMANY CAN COST £38-00 TO SEND BACK!!! SO YOU LOSE THIS AND LOSE THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT EVEN IF THEY SEND YOU SUB STANDARD RUBBISH!(OR DAMAGED IN SUPPOSEDLY 'INSURED' TRANSIT)  THEY KNOW THEY WONT GET RETURNS. ITS JUST NOT COST EFFECTIVE FOR THE BUYER (SMART HUH)  SO IF YOU NEED LUGGAGE TRY WOOLWORTHS FOR ABS HARD CASE ONES, REASONABLE PRICE, NO AGGRO AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOUR GETTING. AS FOR OTHER LEATHERWARE MAYBE IT IS LEATHER, MAYBE IT ISNT YOU WONT KNOW TILL YOU GET IT  AND ITS TOO LATE THEN ! (Note if you check their feedback CAREFULLY some people, although giving a positive, are actually unsure about the material used) IF YOU COMPLAIN YOU ARE GUARANTEED BAD FEEDBACK , BUT PERSONALLY THIS DONT BOTHER ME (ESPECIALLY IF I KNOW I AM CORRECT) PRICES THEY DISPLAY (RRP) ARE TO SAY THE VERY LEAST A BIT AMBITIOUS!!!  if YOU DO BID ON THEIR BUY IT NOW THEY WILL TAKE A FIGURE MUCH LESS THAN YOU THINK BID AS LOW AS POSSIBLE YOU JUST MIGHT BE SURPRISED! CAVEAT EMPTOR (LET THE BUYER BEWARE)   UPDATE !!! Finally got my refund (Credit card company refunded me) so if you do buy from LP Store  or princess peer pay by credit card  Paypal,  you will find, are no help at all. THIS IS OF COURSE ONLY MY OPINION------Make up your own mind!
