Briggs & Riley tip
Skip monogramming if you might return the bag - it triggers a non-refundable $20-35 in fees deducted from your refund even within the standard window.
Travelpro tip
That 100-day, no-questions-asked window and free return shipping is only for the main Travelpro line — the budget-friendly Essentials collection is locked to a much shorter 30-day window with paid return shipping unless it's actually defective.
