Ever wonder where all that misdirected (lost) baggage from airlines goes? Scottsboro, Alabama - The Unclaimed Baggage Center. This warehouse has been featured as a shopper's haven on the Today Show, CNN, and in the Wall Street Journal. Unclaimed Baggage sells a variety of items lost in transit by travelers.
Over 7,000 items are added to the store daily and include items such as clothing, shoes, cameras, electronics, books, cosmetics, and luggage. After an item has been in an airline's possession for 90 days and is declared unclaimed, it is sent to the center.
