Re: So what's cheaper in north America?
I ordered one of thoses front bags you're after, and don't remember the delivery/import costs to be that bad. One warning - it's not as waterproof as you'd think. We put all the clothes in there, also wrappedin bin bags and they still got wet!

Re: So what's cheaper in north America?
This does seem to be turning into what can i bring back for you thread
I'm not actually going, the wife, kids and her parents are.
If those peli cases were 3X the depth, i'd get one. They just seem to shallow to carry anything handy
