Magellan's
 
You are right. Magellan's does have a lot of good travel stuff. But you might want to comparison shop. Eagle Creek products are about 20% less is retail luggage store (check the nearest mall) and I got a "Freedom Bag" from QVC for $28 which is is the new Magellan's for $49. I would recommend reviewing Magellan's for ideas and then GO SHOPPING!

Magellan's is incredibly convenient. I got this travel-safe purse, with disguised wire straps, looks nice, and is a good size. To be honest I am not going to go hunting for a travel handbag to save $20 when I already found EXACTLY what I wanted.

P.S. Yes, I did notice this is an 11-yr old post. Magellans still current as back then.

You topped an <b>eleven year old</b> thread on purpose???

weird

I lot of things have changed in 11 years. Not sure a 1996 post about a product/vendor is worth commenting on.

This has to be some sort of new record, LOL.

I got you talking, didn't I? :-D

The fact that the OP is an 11-year old post about a travel company that is still going strong is definitely a meaningful statement on its own (sorry to others that I had to explain the obvious....!)

Huh?

Oh my gosh! That was me!

Would you &quot;go shopping&quot; if you received a significant discount and free shipping for exactly the same item?

Magellan's is often deft at omitting brand names and models, but you can usually figure them out.

Last time I shopped Magellan's online, their ordering process was dreadful.

I placed an order on Mafgellans.com and three days later the item was sitting on my porch. I think I spent about 3 minutes (and on my pajamas) in the whole process.

Shopping in my pajamas? Priceless.

I've shopped Magellan's for years. I wish my Magellan luggage would wear out so I could buy some new pieces. I place an order a couple of times a year and not just for travel.
