Which shop? You have certain rights as a consumer depending where you're from...

Yeah I smell a troll. The poster has only three posts, and they all say the same thing. If it's legit, then I would suggest he take it up with his credit card company or the local consumer advocate. He might even be able to offload the bags here, depending on what they are.

This may have been discussed previously in this thread, I'm sorry. But when did the price go up on SAB cases? I've noticed you can't find the machine closed ones any more. It makes me sad, I've been saving for three years for one to buy when I graduate this year, and I'm just noticing now frown.gif

has anyone tried to get a westminster wrap ss with only 2 gussets ie like the westminster 2? i dont need that much space and would never fill up the 3 gussets that expand to 6", just seems like overkill

im hesitant to even ask SAB direct since apparently they dont answer emails -_-

I don't know if it's possible to have them remove a gusset. But I doubt you'll save much dimensionally with 2 gussets instead of 3. Thanks to the straps, the case can actually be quite thin if it's not full. I say better to have the space in case you need it; otherwise, tighten the straps to have a thinner profile.

thanks HEpenny. any new pics? would love to see how your bag is looking now! i was inspired to purchase this bag because of you btw icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

hmmm i was hoping to reduce weight and to make it thinner. i believe you mentioned that your an attorney ... do you use all 3 gussets? the westminster 2 expands only to 4" while the ss/westminster 3 goes to 6"

either way, i emailed SAB yesterday and they responded right away this morning. it was unclear if they were willing to remove the gusset but htey gave me a price breakdown as follows.
We can make the bespoke case for you and the charges are as below:
Westminster Wrap SS £1325.00 inc vat
Lock change £ 100.00 inc vat
Newspaper pocket £ 175.00 inc vat
Business card organiser and 3 pen holder £ 175.00 inc vat
Embossing £ 60.00 inc vat
Total £1835.00 inc vat

Total ex vat £ 1529.00 ex vat
Shipping £ 70.00 UPS
£ 1599.00 ex vat

so havent decided between 2 vs 3 gussets but i may need to just go direct through SAB since they seem to be willing to do whatever i ask and are being responsive at least ATM

Maybe I'll post some pics this weekend, but it mostly looks the same. Still one of my favorite purchases. That price looks about right, and if they're actually responding to your inquiries, I'd take advantage of that because they are notoriously slow.

I generally use two gussets, but I do use all three on occasion. I like the flexibility.
