Orders & Shipping

Orders are typically processed during normal business hours. Processing time may vary depending on inventory availability, order volume, item size, and shipping or pickup method.

How do I know when my order is ready?

If you select in-store pickup, please wait until you receive confirmation that your order is ready before coming to the store. For delivery or shipping orders, you will receive updates based on the fulfillment method selected at checkout.

In-Store Pickup & NYC Local Delivery

Do you offer in-store pickup?

Do you offer same-day local delivery in NYC?

Yes. Same-day NYC delivery may be available for eligible orders depending on order time, delivery location, item size, inventory availability, and daily delivery capacity.

What is the cutoff time for same-day NYC delivery?

Same-day NYC delivery cutoff is one hour before closing. The cutoff time is 6:30 PM Monday through Saturday and 5:30 PM on Sunday. Same-day delivery is not guaranteed and should be confirmed when timing is urgent.

Can I buy luggage and pick it up later the same day?

Yes, when available. This is helpful for customers shopping in SoHo, Chinatown, Tribeca, Canal Street, or nearby areas who want to purchase luggage and pick it up later that day. Please confirm timing with our team.

Do you offer pre-orders?

Yes. Pre-order options may be available for select items on our website. Availability may be limited, so please call or contact us first to confirm item timing, availability, pickup, or delivery options.

Luggage Sizing & Product Help

What size luggage should I buy?

Carry-on luggage is generally best for short trips and overhead bin use. Medium checked luggage is useful for several-day trips. Large checked luggage is best for longer trips, international travel, family travel, or customers who need extra packing space.

Do airline luggage size limits vary?

Yes. Airline baggage rules can vary by airline, route, ticket type, and destination. We recommend confirming baggage size and weight requirements directly with your airline before traveling.

Should I choose hardside or softside luggage?

Hardside luggage is popular for structure, protection, and a modern look. Softside luggage may offer more flexibility, exterior pockets, and easier packing access. The best choice depends on your travel style.

What is the difference between spinner wheels and two-wheel luggage?

Spinner luggage has four wheels and rolls upright in multiple directions. Two-wheel luggage is pulled behind you and may perform better on certain sidewalks or uneven surfaces. Our team can help you compare both options in store.

Can your team help me choose luggage in store?

Yes. Our team can help you compare luggage by size, weight, material, wheels, handles, storage layout, price, brand, and travel purpose.

Warranty, Repairs & TSA Locks

Are products covered by warranty?

Many products are covered by the original manufacturer warranty. Warranty coverage, length, exclusions, and claim process vary by brand and product. Please check the manufacturer warranty information for the specific item.

Does Empire Luggage Center provide its own warranty?

Empire Luggage Center does not provide a separate store warranty unless specifically stated. Warranty claims are generally handled through the product manufacturer.

Do you repair luggage?

Empire Luggage Center does not currently offer luggage repair services. For product defects or warranty concerns, customers should contact the manufacturer or brand warranty department.

Can you help with a TSA lock?

We may be able to help with certain TSA lock questions or basic lock issues. Please contact us before bringing your luggage to the store so we can let you know whether we may be able to assist.

What is the difference between a return and a warranty claim?

A return is for eligible unused merchandise within the return window. A warranty claim is usually for a manufacturing defect or covered product issue after use. Warranty coverage is determined by the manufacturer.
