Shipping and Returns
Free standard shipping across India. If a colour is sold out at checkout, join the pre-order list and we will email you when it is available.
Engineered for India, not adapted from a global template.
Global brands build one product for the whole world and mark it up in rupees. Ground Check-in exists because Indian travel punishes luggage differently — monsoons, potholes, 45°C cargo holds, bus-roof handling, and the need to sit on your suitcase at a railway platform. TPR roadproof wheels, sit-proof shell, monsoon-grade sealing, India-tuned handle height, dust cover for loft storage, and a 2-year warranty.
Materials story
Built for Here, Not Everywhere
Global brands pick materials that work well enough across 50 countries. Ground picks materials that work best in one — India. Every choice is driven by the terrain, climate, and travel patterns that are specific to this country.
Handle
6061-T6 Aluminum
MULTI-STOP, LOW DETENT
Lowest detent at 90 cm — ergonomically tuned for Indian heights and broken Indian footpaths, not tall-traveller airport corridors.
Wheels
8 cm TPR Roadproof
SEALED BEARINGS, POP-OUT
Sized for Indian potholes and gravel, not smooth airport floors. Sealed bearings, pop-out for washing after monsoon roads. ₹199 spares shipped.
Water-Ready
Monsoon-Grade Construction
STORM-FLAP, SHEDDING, QUICK-DRY
Engineered for Indian monsoons — storm-flap zip, water-shedding geometry, 12 mm base rails, and quick-dry lining. Not the light-drizzle 'water resistance' global brands offer.
Durability
India-Tested
120KG SIT, 60KG STACK, 1.5M DROP
Tested for how India treats luggage: 120 kg sit test, 60 kg stack, 1.5 m drop at 25 kg, and 80°C heat soak for Indian summers.
Warranty
2-Year Warranty
DEFECTS, SPARES SHIPPED
2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, with spares shipped across India. Dust cover for loft storage and rain skirt included — accessories global brands don't think to include.

Engineered Details
Feature 01
Roadproof TPR Wheels
8 cm sealed-bearing TPR wheels sized for Indian potholes and gravel, not airport marble. Pop out for washing after monsoon roads. Drag-rated rear pair. ₹199 replacement spares shipped to your door.
Feature 02
Monsoon-Ready Construction
Storm-flap zip, vertical shed ribbing, 12 mm raised base rails, and quick-dry lining — engineered for Indian monsoons, not the light rain that passes for 'weather resistance' in global spec sheets.
Feature 03
Handle Tuned for Indians
6061-T6 aluminum multi-stop handle with its lowest detent at 90 cm — ergonomically tuned for Indian heights and the uneven surfaces we actually walk on, not smooth European concourses.
Feature 04
Sit-Proof Shell
Homo-polypropylene shell tested to 120 kg on the face. In India your suitcase doubles as a seat — at train platforms, bus stands, and temple queues. No global brand tests for that.
Feature 05
3-Dial Combination Lock
A built-in combination lock with optional TSA trim keeps belongings secure on every leg of the journey.
Feature 06
In the Box
Dust cover for loft storage and rain skirt for the bottom 10 cm — because Indian homes store luggage differently and Indian streets get wetter. 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
Product FAQ
Questions, Answered
Why not just buy from a global brand?
Global brands design for smooth Western infrastructure and mild weather. Ground is purpose-built for Indian potholes, monsoon downpours, 45°C summers, and the way luggage is actually handled here — thrown onto bus roofs, sat on at railway stations, dragged across unpaved roads. Every spec exists because Indian conditions demanded it.
Is Ground Check-in monsoon-proof?
Engineered for the Indian monsoon, not a light European drizzle. Storm-flap zips, vertical shed ribbing, 12 mm raised base rails, and quick-dry lining keep the interior dry through the heaviest downpours.
What size is Ground Check-in?
65 x 44 x 25 cm with ~68 L capacity. The +5 cm expander takes it to ~80 L for longer trips.
Can I sit on it?
Yes. The homo-polypropylene shell is sit-proof — tested to 120 kg on the face. Global brands don't test for this because sitting on your suitcase isn't a thing abroad. In India it is, so we engineered for it.
What warranty does Ground Check-in include?
Every Ground case includes a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Wheel spares are shipped if needed.
When will Ground Check-in ship?
Ground ships with free standard shipping across India. If a colour is sold out, join the pre-order list at checkout and we will email you when it is available.
