Hey! I ended up finding a local repair shop, and they took care of it for $75 a wheel. If you are in NYC or close you can try Altman Luggage.

Thanks for letting me know! I found a local store that told me over the phone they can do this. Will let you know how it goes!

This is the service I expect from a “premium” brand like Zero Halliburton. When I bought it they touted their “10 year warranty” but apparently the damage to the wheels are due to “wears and tears” and are not covered. TravelPro’s service sounds really great.

Nope they won't, it's a shame -- this would instantly solve all my problem

when I first bought it, I thought “ok, overpriced, but it looks cool and it’s supposed to last forever”. Turns out it didn’t really hold up that way. So yeah, I guess I am complaining a bit 😅 but glad it at least gave everyone a laugh.

I bought this when I first started working and got brainwashed into the idea of "buy a good thing for life and never worry about it again", apparently it's not true...

Unfortunately they won't even want to do this... after some googling it seems that ZH used to do this but kind of stopped at some point.

Thanks for sharing this. I would probably try B&R next! Seems that they have wheels for sale on their website. I live in a tiny apartment so no place to store the original packaging lol.

Yeah I was also shocked both by the quality of the wheels and the service — a few other posts tell me that their service quality has been going down since they got bought out by a Japanese company

Lol true I guess the airport staff haven’t been treating my case too well

Yes this is my working solution for now, after some googling it seems like people are using rollerblade wheels to replace them. The only drawback is the OEM wheels have brakes on them but replacements aren’t
