Bagsby earns money from affiliate links. Assume that every outbound product link on this site is one. If you follow a link from a page here and buy something, we may receive a commission from the retailer. You pay the same price either way.
The Amazon Associates disclosure
Bagsby.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. This disclosure is published in line with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidance on endorsements and material connections, and it appears here rather than buried at the bottom of a page so that it is read before a link is clicked, not after.
We do not test the products we write about
This is the part that matters most alongside the money. Nobody at Bagsby packs, carries, rolls, drops, weighs or measures any of the bags on this site. Every write up is assembled from manufacturer specifications and the data published on the retail listing. When a page says a case is expandable, quotes a shell material or reports a warranty term, it is reporting a published claim, and where the claim comes from the maker we attribute it to the maker. There is no hands on testing behind any recommendation, and any page that reads as though there were would be wrong.
Because listing data is often inconsistent, particularly on luggage, our pages name the contradictions instead of resolving them. If a listing gives a package size and a bag size that disagree, both figures get published. You can see the approach across the carry-on luggage pages and on multi piece products such as the Coolife three piece hardside set, where per case figures and set totals are easy to confuse.
What the commission does and does not buy
- No brand pays us to be included, to be praised or to be ranked. Nothing on this site is sponsored placement, and no manufacturer reviews a page before it goes live.
- Commission rates vary by product category, and we do not weight coverage toward the categories that pay more. Cheap items such as luggage tags sit alongside full sets.
- We do not publish prices, discounts or stock levels, because those change constantly on the retailer’s side and we have no control over them. Check the current figure on the retailer’s page.
- A link earning us a commission does not make a bag suitable for your trip. Airline size and weight rules are set by the carrier, and no page here can promise a bag will be accepted.
How the tracking works
When you click through to Amazon, Amazon sets a cookie on its own domain that identifies this site as the referrer. The standard attribution window is 24 hours from that click, and adding an item to the cart within the window can extend it further under Amazon’s own rules. If you buy within the window we may earn a fee, including on items we never wrote about. We cannot read that cookie and we do not receive your order details. Our cookie policy covers this in more detail, and the privacy policy covers what we do and do not collect.
