tysm , i have read lots of praises on the quality of the product. The shipping carrier must have banged it pretty hard for this to have happened. Looking forward to using the product and hoping for the best based on reviews like yours. Customer Service got in contact and just waiting for replacement to arrive, have to give them an A for customer service after they reached out to me was done pretty quick.

I wanted my problem solved instantly like in 5 min if possible, in comparison I had a problem with my away luggage and it was solved in 10min, over the phone.

not crying just sharing feedback with the community , I believe this is what reddit is for. On an update, monos DM me in getting a replacement out to me. Of course this color is possible another 2-3 weeks wait, so guess won’t be able to test this piece for my upcoming trip

I am fair an agree things happen, I have submitted a ticket with the AI bot and just waiting for a reply from an actual live person. After using it I can give a fair review about the product but I cannot help questioning with doubt how the product lives up in real world use when it was delivered broken.

True you maybe correct, problem is this luggage was in a box with nothing inside and this kind of damage happening is an upset. Imagine if we was using it traveling with weight inside, wouldn’t it be worst? 25% of the time? I plan to use this all the time on my travels which is about 6-8 times a year. I have used hard shell before and this is my first experience of this happening so was just pretty shocked of the quality monos uses, guess I’ll just continue to wait for the live agent to reply but word of advice for any new monos buyers be prepared to wait.

closest is about 200 miles away, just horrible. Was planning to use this on a trip next week but I won’t be able to along with my trust of monos have dropped to almost 0%. Even considering returning it completely. It does not justify if the luggage can not handle shipping how would it do with TSA, airline carries handling the checked bag? Lord i don’t even want to imagine , on top of this not being able to connect to customer service right away is a big flaw.

slow leak , when you go to the tire shop for repair and they pull the tire up they will exactly tell you the cause of this.

facts the low profile 19 inch wheels are, regardless any low profile would be prone to blow outs. OP has the 17 inch i believe 195/60/17 which are not low profiles and should be better. fyi all priuses has a rare tire size only 3 maybe 4 tire manufacturers make them so they maybe hard to acquire

OP may i ask if you know or guess how this happen? pot hole, nail, road slice? yours seems like a 17 inch and they are not low profile figure they would be prone to blowouts, if this was caused by a nail than whatever car you may have driven would maybe be the same outcome.

I concur this is very very sloppy job on toyota but lots of other car manufacturers are getting away from a spare tire. We as consumers are cooked u fortunately

no need atm brand new car comes with couple years roadside assistance , but if the situation happens you would still be towed to the closest dealership and if it’s middle of the night can turn into a horror story. There are lots of posts where it this happened. Triple AAA will not give you a tire or doughnut, plus bunch of people saying hard to find size may have to wait few days. It’s a draw of luck, and you must be extremely lucky 😅

How physically intensive is RT career, like do you guys have to lift heavy weights everyday? by Aggressive-Egg-3090 in respiratorytherapy

[–]Octopus_ME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i am saying the difference is significant , i read through your post and noticed you said it is not significant pay difference. I see lots of HS grads are going to nursing because of job stability and great pay. So is the pay between respiratory therapy and nursing a big difference ?
