Unclaimed Baggage will now offer shipping to Canada, Europe (including the UK), Australia and New Zealand, a press release reported.
“Reflecting on our history and unique business model, it’s remarkable to consider that what began with a borrowed truck and a $300 loan a little more than 50 years ago, is now an international business with millions of shoppers,” said president of Unclaimed Baggage, Paul Okimoto. “Given the unprecedented volume of unclaimed luggage and cargo across the transportation industry right now, and with the global economy requiring people to find ways to make their dollars stretch a little bit further, the time is right to extend the Unclaimed Baggage experience beyond U.S. borders.”
The expansion grants millions of new online shoppers the chance to purchase luxe brands, electronics, jewelry, as well as other products. The items range from clothing and sporting goods to musical instruments, among others.
“While we’re grateful for the continued growth of our business, what we’re most proud of as an organization is the opportunity to redeem lost and unclaimed items, giving them a second life and supporting sustainability,” Okimoto said.
Following a temporary hiatus caused by the pandemic, the retailer stocks an average of 7,000 items per day, all offered at a discount. The store has been visited by more than 5.5 million potential customers.
“The store has made national news for its ever-changing array of unique items from around the world, all sold at an incredible value,” a recent press release reads.
