Quick answers about your Order with Luggage Warehouse
Your Order And Status
How do I place an order?
Simply browse our website, add items to your cart and follow the checkout process. We recommend registering an account to track and trace orders along with other important information for your reference.
Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?
Yes, although the process is far easier if your order has not already been dispatched. Please contact us as soon as possible.
How do I track my order?
You will be updated during the course of your order processing. If your order is being carried by one of our appointed couriers, you will be provided with tracing details to quickly determine your delivery times. You will receive communications and links from our processing team.
I didn’t receive an order confirmation — what should I do?
It is possible that your payment instruction did not complete correctly. If it did, please check your email spam folder. If you still can’t find it, contact our support team or email [email protected]
Why is my order delayed?
We endeavour to meet our quick delivery timeframes but sometimes delays can occur. Transfer of stock between stores and our Distribution Centres, courier backlogs and no operations over the weekend can slow down our expectations. Deliveries to remote delivery areas can also be a challenge with our partners doing infrequent connections to these locations. We’ll keep you informed should there be significant disruptions outside our timeframes.
Can I place a bulk or corporate order?
Absolutely! Please contact our Corporate Manager, Saahbeer Mahomed, directly for bulk pricing and lead times. He can be contacted by email at [email protected]
What happens if an item is out of stock after I order?
Our website operates on a sophisticated ‘live’ stock management system. Despite the best of intentions, sometimes stock issues can arise between stores and customers buying the same items as you at the same time. Should an issue occur with your order, we will be in contact to advise of new delivery timelines or to offer an alternative suggestion(s).
Can I combine multiple orders into one shipment?
If your orders haven’t shipped yet, we’ll do our best to combine them. Please notify us as soon as you can.
Can I redirect my order to a different address?
Yes, this is possible but may be subject to delays. These requests are far easier to accommodate if your order has not yet left our Distribution Centres or our main courier hubs. Please get in touch with us as soon as you can.

If your product has a manufacturing fault or defect within 6 months of purchase, you have the right to choose one of the following remedies:
🔧 Repair
🔄 Replacement
💳 Refund
The choice of remedy is yours — not ours — provided the fault was not caused by misuse or accidental damage.
If a product is repaired and the same fault happens again within 3 months, you are entitled to a replacement or refund.
Please note: The CPA protections apply to defective goods. Returns for change of mind or incorrect choice are handled according to our standard Returns Policy.

- Broken or failed components
- Material or workmanship defects
For luggage, examples may include faulty wheels, handles, locks, zips or stitching on the inner lining.

- Airline or transit damage after delivery
- Cosmetic damage that does not affect function
