Unclaimed Baggage and Lost Baggage

During the first six months of this year, the U.S. carriers reporting flight delay and mishandled baggage data posted a mishandled baggage rate of 7.34 reports per 1,000 passengers, up from the 5.86 mishandled baggage rate recorded during January-June 2006.

More than 1 million pieces of luggage were lost, damaged, delayed or pilfered by U.S. airlines from May to July, according to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS)

Airline companies say they do their best to get items that are lost, left on board (LOB) and unclaimed to their owners. But after 60 to 90 days they’re sent to a salvage company.

Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Alabama is one of them. It’s the warehouse of the lost and unclaimed baggage from airlines, cruise ships and train companies.

Founded in 1970 by Doyle and Sue Owens as a part-time business, it soon became a full-time venture. In 1978, the Owens incorporated the company and watched it prosper as one of the great ‘hidden’ bargain centers for savvy shoppers.

Unclaimed Baggage Center’s warehouse occupies more than a city block. Over one million items pass through the store annually. This place is known as “better than eBay.com” It attracts bargain hunters from around the world.
