I Went To A Lost Luggage Store

Over the past few years, we have tried a number of interesting ~secondhand purchasing experiences~, like buying an abandoned storage unit, buying a box of Amazon customer returns, and visiting an Amazon returns store - and something that I have been very interested in trying for quite a while now, is buying lost airline luggage. Because apparently if you lose a piece of luggage while traveling, and never come back for it, the airline will eventually sell it. And if you're in the US, chances are that they will sell it to the Unclaimed Baggage store in Scottsboro, AL - who sorts through and resells the items from that lost luggage. So we flew down there with our friend HopeScope to check out the store and buy a lost luggage haul of our own: a head-to-toe outfit each!! What did you guys think of our lost looks? Would you shop at this store?
PS - Unclaimed Baggage does sell some of their inventory online here!

its such a strange ethical position for a place to resell other people's missing (stolen?) luggage but destroy counterfeit branded goods to prevent people selling them.
-
I think Saf was right about the bags they gave her to unbag being staged. There's no way someone would put Gucci sunglasses at the front of a soft shell checked bag....
-
Something about the behavior of this store feels unnatural, like they are hiding something
-
Saf: "what is this item??" Chasity immediately without inspection "it's a piggy bank!....oh wait what is it is it a piggy bank?" Saf you're right these bags were sooooo staged 🤣
-
Let's normalize specifying that the AIRLINE LOST your luggage. You didn't lose your luggage. Don't let large companies weasel out of responsibility and then profit from their own incompetence
-
That place has awfully BOLD pricing considering they’re all secondhand items. Like most of that stuff was overpriced in my opinion.
-
"lost" is used very freely here. people DO NOT deliberately "loose" their luggage to this extent. Everyone knows how it is dealing with airlines with lost (by the airline) luggage. This shop feel super shady.
-
very happy to see everyone calling the ethics on this store without dragging queen safiya!!
-
I went to Unclaimed Baggage in late May. I was chosen to open one of the bags, and I got the same items that Safiya opened first. Down to the two fake Gucci and Versace shirts and funky slides. AND the yacht mop bag with chargers. These bags are completely staged
-
This video makes me want to volunteer at the airport to be a "customer baggage advocate" whose only job is to do a bunch of detective work to reunite people with their lost luggage.
-
A woman from Toronto who recently returned home with Air Canada didn't have her luggage for 4 months... they said it was lost, but she had an Air Tag in it and was tracking it... turns out Air Canada had "donated" her lost luggage!
-
No hate to you Saf, but a good chunk of these items are not "lost" they are stolen. Airlines frequently intentionally "lose" luggage they want to sell and often do NOT wait the 90 day period. This store is soooo unethical and people should not spend their money there. They cannot do this anymore if the public refuses to endorse it. No consumers = no profit
-
The only reason I can think that they wouldnt give you real suitcases and wouldnt let you in the back is that the suitcases likely often come with obvious information that would have led to someone being reunited with their lost things. What a shady store.
-
As someone who’s luggage was just lost by United just this past week, with almost no communication from United about where my bags were, I have to wonder how much of this stuff is actually just stolen. This is completely unethical.
-
The fact that Hoggle is there and not home back with the other Jim Henson puppets honestly breaks my heart
-
Lost literally everything I had because of a storage unit and covid, everything. After being left homeless, this was a serious hit. I'm still trying to recoup losses. Point being please remember some things weren't abandoned & certainly not forgotten..... Some of us had no choice or lacked the funds to keep our own belongings. You never know the sentiment behind some of these things, if there is any.
-
As someone who has airline traveled for a couple marching band trips over the years, those “unclaimed” instruments make me so sad and angry. The most of the owners of those instruments probably were traveling to or from some sort of concert or performance so I cannot even imagine how heartbroken they were to “loose” something so valuable to them.

next collab: Tyler and Tyler wear matching velvet overalls for a day 👯♂️

On one hand, this place sounds really fun to explore. On the other hand, it really rubs me the wrong way; the owners are so cagey and secretive about their process. And I know there are instances where things are deliberately lost by the airline so they can resell them to stores like this
