		<description>I ordered this set after reading about it on [...] (in efforts to become a lighter/carry-on traveler).  The kit arrived last night and I decided to fill it up with my products and get it &quot;ready to go&quot; for future trips. The bottles were very easy to fill with detailed instructions and a great assortment of attachments that came with the kit. Not messy at all, and the labels are also great to keep track of the contents.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;The ziploc bags that come with the kit are very sturdy and for some reason they seem bigger, like they hold more stuff than the quart-sized ones I&#039;ve previously purchased at the grocery store (maybe it is the shape?).  The bag holds my shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, face wash, exfoliant, moisturizer, toothpaste, leave-in conditioner (used the spray bottle), and a little eye cream I have that came in it&#039;s own travel sized jar. I am very picky about my products so I don&#039;t typically use anything provided in hotels. I&#039;m very glad that this holds everything I need! There are also a few bottles left over (and you can purchase extra bottles on the Easy Traveler website).  So with the attachments and extra bags that came with the original kit, I&#039;ll be able to make a 2nd kit for my fiance as well.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I will be trying this out for the first time later this month, on a week-long trip to visit my family on the east coast. I am also looking forward to having this on our 2-1/2 week honeymoon to Europe this summer as we aspire to take carry-on luggage only!  Oh and one nice touch - the owner of the company includes a hand-signed letter in the shipment thanking you for the purchase and advising to contact them if we have any questions or concerns.  You don&#039;t see that too often - I can tell they are all about customer service!</description>

		<description>I purchased this item on May 4 and received it on May 6. Although the seller (Jim) is located in my home state, I am still impressed with the turnaround time. I believe he shipped it out the day after he received my order (late at night)--a nice change from other sellers who seem to wait a week &quot;just because&quot;!
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I had a question about transferring items from tubs (like lotions, for instance) and emailed Jim on his website (easytravelerinc--has a video, too). The form also asked for a phone number, and about 30 minutes later, Jim called me back and answered my questions.(The kit comes with a large, 60 cc/2 oz, although if you can use the other method, it is easier.) This was on a Sunday, too! I get the impression that, if any problems or questions arise, emailing or calling Jim will go far towards resolving them. 
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Although I have yet to use the product (it is for a trip later this month), I am very impressed with the quality of the different pieces. They are plastic, but they do not seem &quot;cheap&quot;. (An unconventional, but possible use for this kit is for icing! The tubes are food safe, so any food items you wanted you could put in here! Maybe some jam for your scones on the airplane?) You also get 4 quart sized bags (sturdy), a storage bag (zip around), instructions, converters/receivers and labels with the kit.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I highly recommend this product. (I&#039;m not being paid or a representative of the company--I&#039;m just impressed, as usual, with the customer service in the small business sector. Support small businesses!)</description>

		<description>I purchased this hoping to streamline packing toiletries for a 2 wk international trip.   There&#039;s nothing I can recommend about it....the directions are confusing, packaging and quality is cheap, no matter how small I made the cut on the plastic tips they were too big to transfer product into a tube (I think you have to have 3 hands!), and once I got product into a tube I couldn&#039;t get it out, and there&#039;s no way to clean them....so it&#039;s now all in the trash.  I would highly recommend goob tubes...simpler, easy to clean design.</description>

		<description>I would recommend these to anyone, in fact, I even gave them as a gift at Christmas.  In the age of the insanely expensive checked baggage, these are a must.  My husband and I used them for a week trip, and we had more than enough stuff, (we each could bring our own shower gel etc) we were able to make it all fit into one bag, so I still had a bag for my makeup.  Fantastic!  Were easy to fill and worked like a charm.  No leaks, and no problems!</description>
