Anyone ever had their checked bags measured at check-in?

[RSD]

I'm going to be pushing the boundaries of luggage size a little on my next trip , and I'm just wondering if anyone has ever had their bags measured by the check-in agent at an airport? Do they even have tape measures at the check-in desks?

Which airline?

If it’s a commercial suitcase unlikely they will measure. If you’ve got a non standard item like a box I have seen them measure.

Japan airlines are notorious for measuring anything that looks oversized.
