Samsonite customer care number: how to reach the right team fast
If you’re looking for the Samsonite customer care number, the most important thing to know is that support is managed locally. There isn’t one universal global hotline; each country/region has its own customer service phone number, hours, and language coverage. That means the fastest, most reliable way to get the correct number is to use the official Samsonite site for your country and go to “Contact us.”
Samsonite has operated since 1910 and today sells in over 100 countries. Because policies, return windows, and warranty processes can vary by region and by collection (2‑year, 3‑year, 5‑year, 10‑year, or limited lifetime warranties), calling the number for your country ensures you get accurate, actionable help on orders, repairs, and parts in your market.

If you live in a country not listed above, visit www.samsonite.com and use the country selector (often in the header or footer) to switch sites. The customer care number, opening hours, and language availability will update to your locale.
Hours, languages, and response times
Customer care hours are typically business days, for example Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:00 local time. Some regions extend hours to 18:00 or add limited Saturday coverage during peak travel seasons (May–August and November–December). Hold times can increase during these periods; using early morning local time often yields the shortest wait.
Most regional sites also offer email or web forms that operate 24/7, with replies in 1–3 business days. Live chat, when available, usually mirrors phone hours. If you are abroad, check time zones: for instance, calling a UK number (+44) from North America often works best between 03:00–08:00 Eastern Time to reach a 08:00–13:00 UK window.
If you need multilingual help, look at the language selector on your country site first. EU sites frequently support English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Asian regional sites commonly offer English plus local languages. Phone menus will indicate language options at the start of the call.
What to have ready before you call
Having a few key details on hand can reduce your call time by 30–50% and help the agent give precise answers. Your product’s model information is the most important. You’ll usually find a small fabric or paper label inside the lining (often near the zippered pocket) with a model/style code (for example, a 5‑digit style plus a 4‑digit color code such as “12345‑1041”) and sometimes a date or batch code. For hard‑side cases, the code can also appear behind the divider panel.
Keep proof of purchase ready. A dated receipt or order confirmation email is typically required for warranty determinations. If your issue involves damage, take 3–5 clear photos (overall exterior, the specific issue close‑up, and the wheel/handle area) and note when and how the damage occurred. If an airline was involved, get a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) from the carrier within 7 days of receiving the bag.
- Order number and purchase channel (e.g., samsonite.com order ID or store receipt date)
- Model/style code and color code (e.g., 12345‑1041) from the interior tag or warranty card
- Photos of the issue (wide, medium, and close‑up), plus the luggage interior tag
- Proof of purchase (receipt or invoice with date and price)
- Airline documentation (PIR or case ID) if damage occurred during transit
- Your contact details and preferred return ship‑from address
Samsonite offers limited warranties that vary by collection and country—commonly 2‑year, 3‑year, 5‑year, 10‑year, or limited lifetime coverage. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship; it does not cover airline or transport damage, cosmetic scuffs, misuse, or incidental costs. Your agent can verify coverage against the style code and purchase date.
If a repair is needed, customer care will direct you to an authorized repair center or arrange a ship‑in process. Typical timelines are 7–15 business days for evaluation and repair after the item reaches the center. Availability of parts (wheels, telescopic handles, locks, zippers) generally continues for several years after a collection is discontinued, but exact availability varies by region and model year.
For out‑of‑warranty cases, you can still request a paid repair estimate. If parts are unavailable, the agent may offer alternatives (compatible components, refurbishment, or a discount on a comparable model). Always obtain a case ID during your call; it simplifies follow‑ups and any subsequent email exchanges.
Returns, exchanges, and price adjustments
Policies differ by country and sales channel. As a general guide, many online Samsonite stores in North America offer a 30‑day return window for new, unused items in original packaging; EU consumers benefit from a 14‑day withdrawal period under local law; selected APAC sites may offer 7–10 days for exchanges on manufacturing defects. Always confirm the current policy on your country site’s Returns page before shipping anything back.
If you’re calling about a price adjustment, have your order number and the URL of the current price ready. Some regions consider adjustments within 7–14 days of delivery if the identical item (same color and SKU) is discounted. Shipping fees are typically non‑refundable, and restocking fees are uncommon for unused returns, but check the exact rules for your region.
Special cases: airline damage, lost keys, and combination resets
Airline damage must be reported to the carrier first. Under the Montreal Convention, claims for damage typically must be filed within 7 days of baggage receipt, and delay claims within 21 days. Samsonite customer care can assist with documentation or quotes for repair, but reimbursement for transit damage is generally the airline’s responsibility. Keep your PIR number and boarding documents; agents will ask for them.
For locks, most 3‑dial TSA locks ship with a default 0‑0‑0 code. To reset, open the lock, press and hold the reset button/pin (often on the side of the lock case) until you set a new 3‑digit code, then release. If you’ve lost a key for a key‑lock model, an authorized center can advise on replacement; proof of ownership may be required. If you’re unsure about your exact lock, ask customer care to email the PDF instruction sheet for your series.
Security and fraud prevention
Only use phone numbers published on official Samsonite domains (examples above). Be cautious with third‑party directory sites or ads posting “support” numbers that don’t match the contact page on your country’s Samsonite site. Verify the country code and business hours; if something looks off, use the site’s web form or live chat to confirm.
During a call, you should not be asked to read your full card number and CVV aloud end‑to‑end; regions that take payments will typically route you to a secure link or masked entry system. Ask for and record your case/reference number, the agent’s first name, and the date/time of the call. Official emails normally come from addresses ending in @samsonite.com, @samsonite.co.uk, @samsonite.co.in, or your local Samsonite domain—watch for look‑alike domains.
