Travelers Are Raving About Costco's Affordable Hard Shell Luggage Set

Anyone who's been to Costco knows it's nearly impossible to leave with just the one item you planned to buy, and you somehow end up with a cart full of extras that weren't even on your list. Apart from useful, budget-friendly essentials that'll upgrade your camping experience, the warehouse giant is also the perfect place to grab everything you need for travel. Besides the car camping items ideal for outdoor adventures, the one-stop, bulk-buy playground now carries an affordable hard shell luggage set that travelers are absolutely raving about.

The Costco Calpak Evry 8-piece Luggage Bundle is turning heads and getting rave reviews from TikTokers and Costco members alike, and at just $179.99 (at the time of this writing), this luggage set is giving popular brand names a run for their money, according to the reviews. For the savvy travelers that abide by all the TSA rules on toiletries, the Calpak luggage bundle comes with a 20-inch carry-on weighing in at only 7.3 pounds, making it the perfect lightweight companion for those short connecting flight dashes through the terminal. Checked bag aficionados need not worry: The spinning wheel luggage set also comes with a 28.5-inch checked luggage piece with an expandable zipper, so you can definitely bring back that extra bottle (or two) of Tuscan vino from your Italian vacation.

Travelers are clearly enthusiastic about the affordable Calpak luggage bundle. A verified buyer on the Costco website, Laurie, said the bags "Worked amazing! All my things fit and loved the extra bags to organize my clothes. No problems with airline regarding sizing." In addition to the suitcases, the luggage kit includes three handy packing cubes in various sizes to keep everything neatly organized, a laundry bag, a shoe bag, and even an identification tag to make traveling that much easier.

A TikTok video posted by @m0nica.jpg describes the affordability of the luggage set, stating that it's a "freakin steal," according to the video's caption, while also mentioning that the cost compared to that on the Calpak website is significantly cheaper. One TikTok user commented on the sturdiness of their Calpak set, saying, "Sooo cute! I've had my Cal Pack since 2019 and girlll they survived cobblestone roads and train hopping in Italy! I've taken them to Mexico every year, so I swear by them!" Longevity seems to be a common theme, with another user chiming in, "I found my Carryon calpak from tjmaxx and it's been with me for 7 years!!! Still going strong."

While most reviews praise the set's spaciousness, durability, and budget-friendly price, not everyone is fully satisfied. Some travelers had gripes regarding some handle issues, with one verified Costco purchaser, Lulu, saying the "bag was broken where the handle is connected" after a long trip. Another buyer wrote that the "luggage cracked near handle on first use." A few reviewers also noted that the hard shell can scratch easily. Still, with mostly positive feedback, the eight-piece Calpak set remains a great value for both new and seasoned travelers.
