Birdy covers all shipping costs for standard warranty, unless there’s special circumstances. If the damage is repairable, Birdy will offer to repair the item, or pay for the cost of the repair if handled locally.

PREVENTION & PROTECTION

Birdy's warranty does not cover exterior scuffs & damages. So here's some boarding tips for unexpected airline gate-checks.

 

PRO TIP | Get the Birdy Protective Tote Bag for unexpected baggage gate-checks. Included with luggage bundles Or sold separately. If you're requested to gate-check your bag on aircraft, ask the flight attendant if they would kindly place the Birdy in the coat or captain's closet :)

 

*See 'Product Handling' bottom section for more care, cleaning & prevention tips. Proper care & usage will help your Birdy last a lifetime!

TRADE-IN

Birdy's sustainable trade-in program allows you to swap out your Birdy luggage (in any condition - as long as it functions). Depending on the bag's shape, we offer around a 50% credit of the price you paid towards a new Birdy luggage. The better condition, the higher the credit. Whether you're looking to change colors or upgrade to a newer model, we're always looking for used Birdys. This not only allows our 'Original Birdys' to transition to one of our stackable editions (Essential or Deluxe), it also helps supply our annual 'Pre-Owned Refurbish' sale. So it's a win-win for everyone & something exclusive we offer only here at Birdy!

LOANERS

Smart Birdy offers a loaner program where customers who order a 'pre-order' bag may qualify to receive a loaner bag from Smart Birdy for their upcoming trip, while they wait for the original order. A loaner bag is a borrowed Birdy bag that will be swapped out with the new luggage once the new piece arrives and is back in stock. 


All people who have decided to borrow a loaner bag from Smart Birdy have agreed that they cannot cancel their original order. In the case where the loaner bag has been shipped and is not in acceptable condition for the customer, the customer must contact Smart Birdy within 7 days of the loaner bag's arrival and the loaner must be returned within 30 days of receiving the bag. After 30 days, we no longer can accept a cancellation of the original Smart Birdy order. 

HANDLING

PRODUCT HANDLING

• Warranty does NOT cover normal wear & tear, or exterior marks. Handle with care & treat as you would a handbag and as ‘carry-on’ luggage only.
 
• In the case of unexpected gate-check by airlines, use the Birdy protective tote as a cover (included with all bundles purchases OR sold separately). We do not recommend checking the luggage, as Birdy does not cover airline baggage handling.

 

• It’s suggested to roll the case to the side or front of you to handle bumps best. When pulled behind, make sure it’s not too low to the ground to avoid floor scuffs.

 

• When attaching & traveling with luggage and the shoulder strap, make sure to clip the strap on the front side of the extended handle. This will avoid the scuffs on strap, as it could potentially the floor when bag is rolled behind or at an angle.
