I wanna cheap holdall!

Adamant_3

I'm travelling by train from Margate up to Leeds in a week and need to take quite a bit.

I was going to take a suitcase but the trip means crossing London by tube so I want a holdall to make things a little easier - my only suitcase is a huge thing that could fit a family of 4 inside!

I was looking on the Argos website and found this:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2850928/Trail/searchtext%3EHOLDALL.htm

The Go Explore Large Wheeled Holdall - at £3.30 off it's just £6.64. This seems really cheap and I'm a bit concerned that it might fall apart on me halfway through the tube network or something.

Does anyone else have one?

If not, I guess I could just buy it and give a good tug on all the seams to see if they come apart before I go and if it does fail return it to Argos for a refund?

I know it's over double the price but this one:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/catalogId/1500001001/partNumber/2860097.htm

Comes with a manufacturers 5 year guarantee - do you think it would be a safer bet?

Thanks All,
Adam

Oh, and incase anyone was wondering - the train ticket is an Advance ticket so 1st class all the way for £59!

/me has never travelled 1st class before!

If you want something that is going to last...

Yes its more expensive but will last a lifetime and great for taking on flights etc... (far easier to spot than the run of the mill suitcases) :cool:

I have got a very similar one from argos and took it to New York (and got across London with it!) and it was fine. I dont think it is particularly hard wearing but if you are only going to us it now and again it would be fine.

McKneff

for future referene Nescafe pick ups have a brilliant modern black holdall
with wheels, very hardwearing and loads of room. its 30 beans but only
£4.50 p and p.

i have 30 beans for anyone who wants them but dont know how to get them to you. ( I already have 2 holdalls)

I Have pm'd you Adamant

I got a massive holdall from Tesco for £9.99... could hold 3 weeks of clothes for a holiday I would say. They did a whole range and the smaller ones were even cheaper.

Thanks All for the replies.

I'll have a quick look in Tesco tomorrow and if nothing then I'll grab the Argos one.

It's probably the only time it's ever going to get used so don't want to spend much!
