All About Houston’s Unclaimed Baggage Center

 

Have you ever wondered where your lost luggage ends up? Who ends up claiming it? Is it thrown away or auctioned off or stolen sneakily?

The truth will surprise you.

The Unclaimed Baggage Center in Houston

There is, in Houston, an “Unclaimed Baggage Center.” For those who know about it, it’s a popular place to sweep for things that are sold for way less than what they cost. For instance, let’s say you lost your very valued, very valuable volume of Shakespeare. You might value it, and it might have great worth, but the people over at the Unclaimed Baggage Center do not know this—and therefore, are willing to sell it for pennies. Something worth hundreds of dollars can be sold for a few cents—just like unclaimed or returned Amazon parcels.

What Can You Find in this Unclaimed Baggage Center?

That’s the wrong question to be asking here. The right question: what can you not find? You can find everything including but not limited to:

  • Jewelry
  • Electronics
  • Clothes
  • Books
  • Toiletries
  • Pots and pans
  • Sports equipment
  • DVDs

It’s perhaps safer to say that you can find whatever you wish for at this center.

Who Goes Here?

Mostly, it’s bargain shoppers. You’ll also find many people who prowl these spaces and buy unclaimed parcels for a good “bargain” and later, sell them. Thrift shop owners usually have a field day with these centers, since they stock their shops with all kinds of odds and ends, which is why they treat these centers like paradise.

Good for them, of course, but what about the people who lose these items? People who valued and spent time (and money!) into buying and collecting these valuables? Sadly, lost-and-found services aren’t all that great in Houston, which is why you have to assume full responsibility for your luggage. Airlines help, but we wouldn’t recommend relying on them too much.

How to Prevent Your Luggage from Ending Up in Lost-and-Found

What better way to prevent your luggage from potentially becoming “lost”—than by not “losing” it in the first place? Many people often haul their luggage from one city to another when they don’t need to, because they’re only stopping for a small period of time—but then there’s this question: where will you keep your luggage?

It’s easy: you leave it with a trusted luggage storage service provider, such as Cubby, whose services are available in multiple cities including but limited to Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Galveston, Fort Worth, Boston, Houston, Washington D.C., Las Vegas, and San Antonio.
