Reviews of Unclaimed Baggage
Miss C.
I can see where some people would enjoy this store. In my opinion, they are seriously overpriced big time!! I like to shop and don't hesitate to pick up a good deal but this store didn't ring my bell. When I walk around for 90 minutes and purchase 1 item (under $5), something is wrong. My husband has been wanting to come here for years and we finally made it. It looks like a Mall Store filled with mostly used overpriced items. I was talking to a sales lady and she told me it takes a long, long, long time for anything to go down in price. Another sales lady told me 70% of the items are unclaimed freight and the other 30% are new stocked items. It just wasn't what we expected. I thought we would walk out with several shopping bags of items. If you making a special trip from a long distance be prepared for a lot of sticker shock. To avoid disappointment, I'd only visit if I was in the area. Anything used that is offered here, you can find elsewhere used at a cheaper price. Signed....... a long time picker.

It’s like going to a large thrift store with lots of clothes with original tags on them. The separation of the size’s seriously lacks. When I went to my size I found children sizes all the way to swallow me sizes. They need to really work on that. I did however get a great pair of Beats Studio Buds for $69.99.
Elizabeth Pehlke
Awesome shopping experience. It was an unexpected stop but so glad we did it! The store branding is so cute and the cafe is lovely. Our cheerful sales person Holly helped us out from start to finish. Staff overall were very friendly, helpful, and working hard to keep everything neat and tidy. Well worth the trip.
Denise McClintock
We heard about this store a while back and finally went there, and we were SO GLAD we did! First we were greeted by a very friendly and helpful employee, Rachel Barnes, who explained to us where all the different types of merchandise were located and made us feel very welcome. Then, after finding out it was our first visit to the store she gave us a coupon for two free drinks in the café! That was a very unexpected and welcome treat since it was afternoon and we were just saying we could use some caffeine!😜 She was over and above awesome!👍⭐️☕️ And the store was pretty amazing too, there was so much stuff to look at, we will definitely be back to explore some more when we have more time. We were curious about how it got started, so we googled it on the way home and really enjoyed reading about the history, quite a story!
Travis Peterson
What a great place! We trekked down from Nashville while in town and were pleasantly surprised. We even won the "baggage demo" raffle and won 25% off. We walked away with lots of stuff and the staff is super friendly. Definitely recommend.
Griffin May
If anyone lost any cash with a rubber band around it inside your luggage, I found the rubber band.
Joke aside, I really enjoyed this store! I love how they went out of there way to label ALL their pants with actual waist/length size instead of the generic small, medium, large labeling. Helps a lot! All the staff were friendly, and I enjoyed the selection of the store.
Trey
Very interesting place with tons of unclaimed items. Prices are not too bad and a lot to look at. We didn’t buy anything even though we made an extra trip to come here, but it was more for the experience for my wife and I. Around the location, there are other small antique shops and food places. Additional items are added weekly.
Beth Copeland
I had heard about this store for a long time and was very curious. I happened to be in the area visiting friends and we went there. It had some nice items. I was able to buy some women’s and men’s clothes. If you are a serious shopper, you should allow a couple of hours to browse everything. The men’s clothing is in a different area from the main building so you need to check out before moving between buildings. Some good bargains.
Beth Kristensen
We stopped by the store after seeing the road signs. We were so happy with how clean and organized everything was. The prices were amazing too! We were helped by the sweetest lady named Holly in the jewelry department. She showed us many items, let us take our time and my husband and I are thrilled with the beautiful bracelets we bought each other for our 40th wedding anniversary gifts. Thank you Holly for making the purchase so enjoyable!
JudyMarie
It was our first time going...we loved it!!!...expect to spend at least a couple hours here, there is so much to check out here. Absolutely loved the bargain basement...great products at great prices!!
Gary Holt
This warehouse in Scottsboro Alabama is where all of the unclaimed baggage from the airlines end up after unsuccessfully attempting to find the original owners. And it could be anything. This is not an ordinary store, any object lost and unclaimed regardless of what it is could end up in this Warehouse. The inventory is too extensive to try to list, just use your imagination.
Amy Wagner
We felt it was a hyped-up Goodwill. Which is fine, but Goodwill has better prices. It's a fun idea, and if you're passing through the area, it's worth a look. I wouldn't make a special trip.
Malka Malki Field Greenberg
We had a wonderful time here. We drove 3 hours from Atlanta to visit and left with a bunch of goodies. They have everything from baby to home to electronics to adult stuff. A lot of name brands. Even if we bought nothing it was fun to see and would definitely go again
James Wernicke Sr.
I never knew they had a place like this. A very upscale version of Goodwill with lots of travel elated items and most of very good quality. I found a power pack and carryon bag and a very good price.
Caroline Dengel
Drove down for Ohio to check this place out and it exceeded my expectations! Don’t expect thrift store prices but still found some great deals. Employees were super helpful (thanks Annica!). Well worth the trip!
Linda Becar
Always love going here. Great bargains and neat items can be found. Very friendly employees. If I wasn't so far away I'd visit more often, but I enjoy spending time there and browsing. I believe it took me a couple hours to do the whole store and outter building. Worth going too!
Zach Feig
It's a fun store, but be warned that it's effectively a goodwill or thrift store that just has a better gimmick.
The highlights weren't the merchandise, but the displays of things found in luggage but not for sale. For example there was armor, a 15-ft surfboard, crazy instruments, a taxidermy goose, and a giant Tinkerbell.
The funniest thing that was for sale was about a dozen wedding dresses.
angel johnson
Neat place to look around. Prices are steep to be secondhand. Way higher than any Goodwill store.
Casey Travis
I will literally get lost in this store all day they have so much stuff so many different sizes colors miscellaneous. you can find just about anything I will say it's kind of high for a second hand . I got a real Michael Kors wallet for $60 and it was practically brand new without the tags. I enjoyed this store you better have a lot of time cuz you will get lost and want to stay many good finds!
Christina Hoffman
Huge store! Something for everyone offered here. Not the cheapest prices, however they have a large selection of merchandise. This place is a fun stop.
Rebecca Bock
I came here with my fiancé as we were driving home from the holidays. We set ourselves a 30 minute timer at risk of spending the whole day here. I had to stop myself from buying more than 1-bag worth of jackets, clothes, and goodies. About an hour after driving away, I started to regret not buying a wedding dress I had tried on. It’s been a month and I’m still thinking about that dress. I just called and Brooke helped me find the dress, still in store. She and the team at unclaimed baggage went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ship me the dress. I’ll update this post with pictures from the wedding. But here is the gem I found for under $30 when I tried it on in-store!
Kelly
This was fun...it is quirky and wack-a-doodle, which is what we hoped for. Some good stuff, some duds, and some just "huh" things. We didn't expect Rodeo Drive for 3 quarters and a dime...and we were happy!!
Christopher Garza
Wow this place has it all... it's truly an experience... it's like the best thrift store you've ever been to and includes a little museum of stuff that has come across them. Also they have a little bistro and there are 2 parts... the clearance center is pretty much the same as far as prices go but has more random stuff like used water bottles and such... either way this place was super cool and I would absolutely recommend and make a detour just to check this place out again...
Tim Anderson
I have shopped at thrift stores many times, and the selection of products here is far and away better than any thrift store I can recall. I always find clothing that I like here, but unclaimed baggage has far more than clothing. They also sale some new items. Prices are reasonable, and the store has two buildings.
This is an excellent place to find gifts or affordable clothing.
sahara kuiper
I’ve been wanting to come here from the moment I found out about it and it was delightful! Prices are higher than a thrift store, but there is so much quality things for everyone. Amanda S at the jewelry county was amazing, she was so patient as I tried on so many rings and was extremely helpful!! We got some great treasures
Dawn Parsley
Not sure you should sell used underwear, may be time consuming but run items through wash before selling. Did find some interesting things.
Niki Proctor
Very unique place, everything is well organized and clean. I appreciate that the kid area is like a separate wing as well. So many good finds here from jackets to jewelry to kid shoes & more.
Connie Young
I look forward to shopping UBC every week.Most of the time I find great bargains, other times not as much, but I ALWAYS have a good time looking. The employees are always helpful, friendly and add some positivity to my day. When at Unclaimed, I treat myself to a chicken salad sandwich and iced tea at Cups Cafe...it is the best! ...and Cups has great service. My favorite department in the store is jewelry. They have some beautiful merchandise! The girls(and guy) in jewelry are so sweet and patient as I dutifully try on just about every piece they have! Last week Holly, a knowledgeable jewelry staffer and good salesperson (!!!) showed me way too many pretty things! My next visit, my credit card stays home! 😌
Jessica F
A very neat experience. We found some pretty great finds. Its kinda of like a big secondhand store. They offered free lemonade at the front! Super cute! It also has a little coffe/drink/pastry shop inside. They have shows and play games up front that was fun to watch as well. Also have a cute little photo wall with props. You can have a lot of fun here.
Blind See
Customer service was a plus plus plus!!!!! Unclaimed Baggage has been on my bucket list for more than a decade. Yes they are somewhat overpriced. However, it is the experience!!!
Shetiga Northcutt
I have heard about this store for quite some time now, a friend and I drove an hour to go and explore. It was not expected to be as huge as it was with a detached store. Some prices was alil to expensive for used items as you can get them a few dollars more brand new but I was not disappointed as I found some great deals, you have to really give yourself some time to look as the sizes in the clothing is not separated to well. Under 200$ I come out with high end name brand clothes for myself and 5 children.. 5 to 6 outfits each! The store was very clean aside of needed more organized. The staff was so nice and helpful. My first cashier lady (Rachael Barnes) was so nice and explained so much as it being my first time! I will be back again!
John Hall
A big shout out to Holly, Cathy and Annette in the jewelry department! They were very patient with me and helped me select some special pieces that I was purchasing for my loved ones. Such a fantastic experience, and these employees are a true "gems" to this organization. I look forward to returning again soon!
Debbie Forrester
Our first trip to Unclaimed Baggage and we had a wonderful experience and day! We thoroughly enjoyed shopping and everyone of the team members were so kind, helpful and positive! One in particular I’d like to mention is Bebith Dixon and she was a delight and so pleasant to work with - a real asset! The cafe was a welcome break for us and the food delicious! Truly a special day of shopping with family and we will be back soon! Thank you!
Jenny Dutton
What a fantastic store! I needed some kindle fires to use for our archery club and scoring and Unclaimed Baggage had what I needed. Each device worked perfectly! Very pleased with the care they put into packaging their items for shipping.
Peter Zinsli
I first came here a decade and and you could walk out feeling like you scored a bargain. Now the prices are on the high end of what you can find on internet resale sites. Good for if you want to try something on but not really a place for deals anymore. I don’t feel like it’s worth the drive if you’re coming from Huntsville.
Brig'ette Martin
I absolutely love this place! I grew up in Guntersville (around the river bend). I always shopped here growing up... fast forward to today (2022) and I still have to visit when I come back home. Been in Gulf shores since 2018.. this was my first time visiting in several years.. I must say I am super impressed with all the changes they have made. HUGE SHOUT OUT TO MY LADIES IN THE FITTING ROOM- Miss Linda and Ms. Susan. They made me feel so confident in my purchases 😍
Wanda Schoen
Me and my husband came to the Unclaimed Baggage Center last Saturday, to look at jewelry. Gail in the fine jewelry section was super helpful and friendly. We did find a lovely ring (an anniversary/birthday gift for me). Thanks Gail for your excellent customer service. This was only our second time to this store, but we definitely be back!!!
Zuriel Daher
Great place to look around for a jacket, bag or shirt whether if it’s for men or women. Their discounted electronic appliance for chargers etc. is pretty good when needing not to spend a lot. They have great selected watches for those that can that bargain for it.
William
Got to go here if your in the area. It's an experience! This is where they sell items that are from unclaimed airline luggage and shipments. It's like a giant yard sale with clothes, electronics, jewelry, cameras, shoes, and anything else a person might put in their luggage. Name brand, slightly used, and some new, name brand items at sometimes very reasonable prices. Shop around for bargains!
Ryan Vetack
Average mix of items. Nothing in particular was a spectacular deal, but if you are in the area and like thrifting it is a cool place to stop. The interesting items on the wall were fun to look at.
Anne Bet
Awesome idea! They've been in business for 51 years and counting. I liked that they try to bring the excitement to their customers by having "unzipping" ceremonies throughout the day, where new suitcases and their contents were unveiled. There's truly something for everyone - books, nooks, clothes, throws, jewels, and tools. The men's and women's sections house 2 different warehouses. There's also a food court, several resting areas, restrooms, and a last chance room with extra exceptional deals! For example, I bought a$250 Vince Camuto bag for 10 bucks and moissanite diamond earrings for $3.59. These guys are definitely prepared. There's even RV parking. My rating is about 4.5 stars, only because some items are actually wholesale that you could find at Ross or TJMaxx. Overall, a fun adventure!
Katie Pittman
My husband and I stopped at the store on our way to Asheville, NC for our first anniversary. We enjoyed the store, but really enjoyed meeting Bebith Dixon. She was very helpful in assisting me with the fitting rooms. She even directed us to the Bargain Basement next door. She is very personable and friendly. We really enjoyed meeting and talking with her! She’s a gem!!! Can’t wait to come back! She made it a friendly and great experience.
Ryan Baxter
In addition to incredible clothes at super low prices, I went in looking for Japanese books, and even though I didn't see any on the shelves, Haylea who was working there that day let me teach her enough Japanese to recognize it and went to get all the Japanese books from the back that hadn't been put out yet. Truly above and beyond and I was so thankful for that level of care.
Lora Blair
Store was nice and clean, they have some nice items for sale, but their prices have almost tripled since our last visit before COVID. To much for used items. We drove three hours to shop there, but won't be going again.
Traveler's Journal
It was neither good or bad. It was more a been there done it place for me. Like a BIG second hand store except well organized and clean.
Prices were...ok for the most part. The unclaimed items were decent to sift through. They also have areas filled with lots of "bargain" items most of which is China import junk.
There were a lot of people there so the shopping and curiosity draws them (us) in.
B S
What an experience. They have just about anything you can think of. We walked out with more than we anticipated.
F B
We have been to the store a few times over the past 3 years. The initial shopping experience was great, and we found a lot of great deals. We visited this past weekend, and the shopping experience was just ok. The deals were few and far between and maybe that is due to the upcoming holiday season. The prices seemed inflated from our past shopping experience. My review is about the pricing alone and I set @ 3 stars for the value of items especially if you are traveling from a far distance to expect to find great deals. It was a miss this time compared to the past but again maybe it is due to the season. There is a lot to choose from in the store and a great variety so no issues there. I will comment on the staff, which as always in my experience are great, friendly and very helpful. I will acknowledge -Bebith Dixon- as one staff member, which helped me while in the stop and she was a pleasure to meet and work with. I agree with another reviewer in stating that if you are local, it is great to shop there but if you are traveling some distance, the deals were ok but not great as I have found in the past but there may be other factors that I am not aware of that may have influenced pricing. It is still a great place to visit and there is a great variety of items, and you can find something of interest for sure. We will visit again but probably after the holiday season.
Annika Rettstadt
This is a GREAT place to visit on your own, or if you're local, it's a fantastic spot to bring visiting guests! You can find all sorts of items depending on the season you visit. I'm not sure why some people are complaining about the prices. I think most items (while some are expensive, like computers and other electronics) are fairly priced.
Unclaimed Baggage is also located right down the street from downtown Scottsboro, a historic town that's fun to wander through.
Magali S
Hard to find a good bargain in this place, some items to be used items are overpriced. Looks like they No longer sell lost luggage finds, most items looks like retail stores returns.
Joni George
Great shopping experience and Carol was the nicest employee you could hope for.
Rozilma Dohop
Absolutely the best store, I visit this store at least 2 times a week and I always find treasures at the perfume section!
( AMANDA SISK ), for help she’s awesome person ! always goes above and beyond to make people feel welcome!
Very good service and great selection!
Chase Forrester
I went to Unclaimed Baggage for the first time today! Carol was so sweet, cheerful, and helpful! I found a lot of amazing things but meeting her was definitely the highlight. I couldn’t believe how organized it was even though there were customers everywhere! I cannot wait to go back; it was worth the trip!!!
Roy C
Store was well stocked personnel was very helpful, prices were not that bad and they had a lot of brand name clothes some with new labels. Just don't drive for hours thinking you are going to get yardsale prices. Overall great experience we would visit again.
Ashley Grant
Amanda S at the jewelry counter was so helpful! The store was crowded with holiday shoppers on December 22, but she was happy to help us look at items from the fine jewelry case. We will definitely be back!
Leah Huebner
Amanda S. at the Jewelry counter was wonderful. I was trying bracelets and couldn’t clasp them myself and she took so much time putting them on my wrist. What a sweetheart! I live in LA and always find gems here when I come home to visit the family.
Samantha Daniels
I went to Unclaimed Baggage today for the first time, and it was amazing! It’s just like a really wonderful thrift store. Amanda S. helped me when I was looking at the jewelry, and she was incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. Thank you Amanda!!
Cailin Adams
this place was fantastic!
do not expect to go in there and find goodwill prices. if you are looking for goodwill prices, go to the goodwill down the street. left with 2 bags of great finds, a lot of them still with the tag and spent less than $150! will definitely return ☺️
Leandra Mashak
I had no idea this store existed!! I was searching for a discontinued style of legging and randomly found it here! My item arrived with tags on and in perfect condition, and super quickly! They even included a free hat 😁 …
Hannah
Lot of great options! Friendly customer service. Only issue I had was I felt like some of the prices for certain items were still a little steep since it is a secondhand store. Overall great experience though!
Pat Lawson
My sister (from Florida) and I went to Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro on Black Friday. Holly from the Jewelry counter helped us with a ring my sister was thinking about buying. She was very polite, friendly and willing to answer all her questions. Big thanks for her help. 🥳 My sister did end up buying the ring. 🙂 …
Kyle Gott
We spent maybe a hour and a half here. I wasn’t that impressed by the prices of things. It’s a cool concept though. All this stuff that went unclaimed. It’s almost hard to believe. They do their research and price items accordingly. You can save some money on high end products and brands. But my wife and I aren’t huge spenders for things. We love thrifting but this definitely isn’t a thrift store experience. If you’re into high end fashion, electronics, and jewelry then this is a great place. My wife and I each got a pair of beats by Dre studio 3’s for $99 each. Trying to find them used you’ll pay around $120-$220. So we were happy with that because we’ve been wanting a pair of over the ear beats for years now just never wanted to spend $300 on a pair. You can also find some good deals on shoes that are in great condition. Unfortunately their size 12 selection was very small so I didn’t find anything I wanted. We actually checked out the electronics and jewelry last. Up until then we weren’t really impressed. The jewelry you can get some great deals on expensive pieces and same for electronics. Overall I’m glad we went but it’s definitely not a place I’ll be looking to go to again anytime soon. Fun concept and still is crazy to believe so many people don’t claim their bags knowing what they had to lose.
CYNTHIA DAVISON
Good choices lots of jewelry!
$9000.00 handbag, etc
I made these with items ...
Kelly Chesbrough
I have purchased online several times. The items are always packaged with care and ship fast. The majority of what I buy is clothing for my children. Phenomenal prices and quality items.
Sean Crawford
I love this place, you never know what you might find.
The only downside is prices can be all over the place, from great deals and finds to prices that seem way too high.
I always try to stop in to see what's new.
Helen Czech
It's an interesting visit - there's always something to look at and with items from all over the world you never know what you'll find. Today I was looking for a good book to read, and UB book specialist Haylea was happy to help and make suggestions. I appreciated her knowledge of their stock.
Hanna Vojtush
What a fun an unique place. My family and I originally stumbled across the store before a bunch of YouTubers started doing videos on the place. That's when/how I learned more about the history. Neat place! Anywho, the store front is the bees knees if you can go but the online store is also worthy of a look!
Renee Gray
This place is a must stop when visiting Scottsboro. I always find great deals on everything! Loved the holiday stations, free hot cocoa, and the Christmas music playing in the store.
Ryan Cass
Unclaimed baggage is an interesting store to say the least. It’s always a pleasant surprise to find a good deal on something you wanted wether it’s sunglasses or shoes. I wouldn’t recommend buying some of their items based on prices not being much lower than what they are new but if you go in with the right expectations you can have a good time shopping here.
Ryan Smith
Rachel Barnes was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. A very nice store that is very well organized. The bulk items could be priced a little cheaper however.
Courtney Voss
Overhyped. This is somewhere worth stopping if you are in the area but not worth it if you have to go out of your way. In my opinion, the items are over priced. If you are looking for a deal, go to TJ Maxx or Goodwill. If you are looking for random stuff, go here. The Bargain Basement has some things worth the money at $5.
Dan C
Great place! I did not expect to buy anything but walked away with a fairly new ski jacket for $65 instead of paying $200+ plus a new hat although they have the same ones at Walmart for $2 more
Waterfall Yoga Therapy
If you are looking for a crazy place to Thrift this is the spot! I found a pair of Jimmy Choos!
Mechelle Baker
Holly, in the jewelry department, was extremely helpful as I searched for a piece of jewelry to commemorate my retirement. I found the perfect piece at a good price!
Owen Gill
Such a fun unique place to go! It’s very well organized and you can easily spend a couple hours looking through everything
Coach John
-A unique roadside attraction...I don't think this should be your final destination-unless you plan on just shopping. Not sure what the hype was all about-Went out of my way for 30 minutes to check this place out...It has the feel of a Salvation army store...
Rachel Jean
It’s like a cleaner Goodwill that doesn’t have a musty smell. I had much higher hopes than what I saw. I traveled to Scottsboro not specifically for this store but it was one of the big highlights in coming here. I came, I saw and I left empty handed. To be honest a lot of the merchandise was overpriced. I did enjoy the free apple cider though.
Marcia Almeida
I am from Brazil and I went in this store last Monday . I was very good surprise with the quality things and organization of the local . The attendant Kari was so helpful and friendly ! I sure I will come back there ! Thanks
Cindy & Mike Myer
Lots of stuff. While prices are below new level, many items are NOT new, so since pricing felt high.
Look around though, because there is stock from New, unclaimed freight to be found
Simone Payne
My favorite place to buy a lot of stuff for the best price. Nice to spend time finding many things with dow of the price.
Katrina Winchester
Loved it. Was my first visit here. Can't wait to go back again. Found some amazing deals including All Birds running shoes, Hoka running shoes, and brand new Fitbit!
Josh Lintz
Some days are very busy (weekends), some are quiet. Generally friendly sales help, but they're not experts in everything. Expect hit-or-miss content, and it varies week to week. There are some excellent deals on odd items, and some good clothing deals on surplus items (unused/unworn); just do not expect everything to be to your liking or discerning specification, because it's essentially random.
Michelle Yates
Well it's been quite some time since I was there but things were in order and nicely displayed. Personal were professional and kind.
Jessica Pulcifer
You never know what you’ll find here. They have everything. Prices vary depending on condition and brand. Electronics, hiking gear, clothing for everyone, books and so much more! They have a coffee and snack shop inside and lots of seating around the store for you to rest at.
Tracie Rankin
This was an interesting outing. Lots to see . I’m not sure that it’s true to description, a lot of the items seem to come from pallets and overstocks. Very clean store and the employees were friendly.
Holly Montgomery
I found an adorable dress, the perfect winter fleece and my Halloween costume today. Bebith Dixon was the best. Helped me get in and out of my zip up dress and we talked for 15 minutes about Halloween! Great experience 😁 …
Alyson Davis
I felt like I had walked into the biggest thrift store of my life and I still didn't get to see it all.
Silas George
The staff was great and helpful, especially Carol! The selection is good with fair prices. We enjoyed watching a new bag be opened and learning about the process for the store.
Jeff Longenecker
Great deals and an amazing selection of clothes, shoes, electronics, and so much more.
Doreen Vaughn
Very nice parking area. Huge store, with 2 levels. Very nicely done and enjoyed the rocking chairs out front. They have anything you possibly could imagine. Jewelry, sunglasses, purses, clothing, home goods, backpacks, shoes, etc. Unique for sure. Prices vary depending upon your items value.
Vicki McClellan
Cathy and Holly were great ibbn the jewelry department. They let us try on anything and were very knowledgeable about the pieces. Very enjoyable experience!
It is a well organized store and very clean.
Jennifer Wilson Coker
I got some beautiful earrings and a bracelet with an Emerson quote engraved on it, for less than $5 (total). I purchased 10 books relating to addiction recovery and/or Christian reading material, all for less than $15. I bought my husband a church shirt for $3 that is really nice. This is my favorite store anywhere I've ever been. You never know what you might find there. In the past, I've bought a pair of Nike shoes for my son, for $25 ($95 online) that were brand new. I've bought a silver bracelet and necklace set for $15 that was worth approximately $75. Zenanna dresses and leggings for about $4 to $7 each that would have easily cost me $15 to $40 somewhere else. They have everything you can think of... and many things you've never thought of or seen elsewhere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING AT LEAST ONCE!!
Melissa Buffington
I live near by and go regularly to unclaimed baggage. I recently bought a phone Levi W. helped me. He was very knowledgeable about their phones. Levi did a great job explaining the diffrent phones. I have bought several electronics there and have been happy. Great place to shop.
Kathryn Coleman
I was able to get a maxi dress for more than half it's original price. Great customer service here as well. Thanks Bebith D.!
Source Avenue Alliance LLC Source Ave.
This place is so huge that it's overwhelming. Make sure you have at least three hours. The campus has a few different buildings to look through. I really want to give a shout out to Annette Vasquez who patiently waited for me to get a response from a family member about if I should buy something. This is significant because it was time for them to close! Everything for sale here is in good shape. Unique items. Ok prices.
Santiago Martinez
I’ve been coming to this store for over 10 years and most of the time I find something ,they have great deals and the employees are always friendly and ready to help you in any way possible.In electronics Luigi and Carl are awesome and when I need to try something on Ms Debith is always ready to help.Amanda has a great personality, in my experience coming here the people who work here are always friendly.
Cole Norberg
Live visiting this store you always find great little treats in it and great customer service with their staff
Logan Charest
Fun place to go on a day trip. If you are patient and can wade through everything, you can come across some awesome deals. I got 2 shirts (one was True Religion) for about $6, got my kids each a shirt ($5 each) and also snagged a really dope suitcase like backgammon board (also like $6).
I usually go very early in the morning and don't encounter this problem, this time I went later in the afternoon and it was a little too crowded for my tastes. People were all around us, one lady I swear was trying to run us over with a cart. Made me and gf a little anxious but we had fun.
Waylon Berry
Love this place. Used to work there in college at the Cups Cafe with all women. I had fun and sometimes helped people put their bags in their cars. I helped a gentleman one time who had dropped his wallet. This was before cell phones and he was from far away. I could imagine being alone with no money in Scottsboro! What a nightmare! Lol... But he called and told the owners to thank me for finding his wallet and giving it back. I believe in karma and it can come up and bite you on the rear end when you least expect it! But I LOVE UNCLAIMED BAGGAGE. Only problem i could find is they're very religious and destroy anything that's potentially satanic or evil. But that's their prerogative. They're probably millionaires and can do as they please. But still a great place to get decent deals on stuff with tags or barely worn.
James Gravedoni
Nice wife enjoys a good deal and found plenty, Café had a nice lunch. Will stop back by when near.
Eoin
Lively atmosphere! Wonderful shopping experience all year around especially the weekend of the Winter Ski Sale, name brands at Unclaimed Baggage prices!
Drew Robison
This place has amazing deals on phones, electronics, sporting goods, designer clothing, high end shoes, accessories, etc. Visit and you will not be disappointed! Ask for Bebith, she is friendly and helpful.
Bob Colgan
It's beyond me trying to figure out why so many people still visit UB. It was something in the early 70s. It's now a glorified surplus store/thrift store/garage sale, with higher prices.
Kitty Hale
I came to Scottsboro, AL from TN a few weeks ago. I needed assistance in purchasing an IPad and cover. I was fortunate when, Carl Dixon, assisted me in finding exactly what I needed. He was so polite and knowledgeable it made my trip there easy. I happily recommend that trip to my friends. It was also fun to get such a good buy on the IPad especially with help I received.
Sapo Pico
Not as exciting as it was before. You can find a good deal but not as good as it was a couple years ago. For me is not worth the trip for something used at around 25% discount.
Angela Laughlin
We ALWAYS find a great deal here. There are much fewer electronics than in the past, but hopefully with life getting back to normal that will change.

One-of-a-kind store where you never know what you might find. Have been going there for a few years now every once in awhile. Never had a bad experience. Found so many great things there that I use daily! This year their customer service was beyond any that I've experienced. I had looked around at many jewlers for an engagement ring over the course of this past year. I ended up finding the perfect ring at UBC! Or so I thought... I took it to a couple jewlers and they said it looks to be a lab diamond. I contacted UBC and they paid for it to be looked at by one of the most well-known jewlers in the country. He spent a week analyzing it, and took it down to Birmingham to see it under high-end microscopes. Ended up being a real, earth diamond! UBC also paid for the ring to be cleaned and rhodium coated! The jewler at UBC went out of her way to get me the ring driving down to pick it up and even offered to meet me where I worked as the drive is long. UBC went above and beyond!
Elaine Blackwood
Had a great “girl’s day out” at this place! Such fun to look for surprise treasures! Followed by lunch at 50 Taters.
John Pishotta
High class operation - Anything that does t sell gets donated to charity. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
You just never know what you are going to find here. Very clean store and well organized. Sometimes, the bargains are better than others.
The other building on the property has been converted to house all the men's clothing, but there is a last chance room where you can sometimes find a great bargains.
Michael Gilroy
This place should be renamed "Unclaimed Stuff FROM Bags, We don't sell the actual bags the stuff comes in" Seriously, how is the sales floor not full of various roller bags off different sizes!!! Luggage, ITSELF, is expensive! I'm in the market for a decent Samsonite roller/spinner bag
Artemis
Unclaimed baggage is a amazing place to shop! Great Customer service and amazing people, especially Bebith Dixon! Would go everyday if could!
A.K. Russell
Fun little unique place, as it's the only one in the country I think? Employees were super friendly and helpful. Lots to look at. Prices were fair, similar to consignment pricing. If you're in the area, a neat visit. Loved the Hoggle tribute, you don't get to see something like that every day!
Jacob Mcdaniel
One of my favorite places just to go browsing around. Like coming here every week to see what's new.Sometimes I get unique and odd items in. But over all it's a cool place to walk around and look.
jon pounders
This place has so many cool things and a wide variety of interesting stuff. I can normally find something here to either wear, read, or use.
Also lots of cool novelty items.
Anna Pekarski
What an awesome place, much bigger than I thought it would be. So many things to look at and buy. We spent 3 1/2 hours there and found some great deals. We even got to help process a piece of unclaimed luggage.
Terry Bailey
An awesome experience with great finds! They even have some brand new items too! I purchased a brand new 13 piece set of stainless steel Calphalon pots that typically retail for $662 for $149!!
Jennifer Merrill
Biggest, cleanest, most well organized thrift store, with the nicest employees, I have ever seen! We could have spent hours here (if you wanted to check every clothing/shoe rack in your size), but didn't have time. Some reviewers complain about the quality of the items, but remember this is all stuff other people packed for trips so they get what they get and it changes on a daily basis. We were told that 1/3 gets tossed, 1/3 gets donated to other places and the last 1/3 is sold here. They have EVERYTHING you can imagine. We ended up buying an apple watch, laptop and bose headphones from the electronics section. If you are in the area and like to bargain hunt, this is a must do. Also highly recommend staying at the Comfort inn in town.
Randy Stolle
The Summary
For locals: it's worth stopping by to see what you can find every now and again.
For out-of-towners: Neat place worth visiting if it is part of a bigger trip. Not worth making a looong trip just for this one place.
The Details
My family and I went here out of pure curiosity as part of a weekend getaway, and it was enjoyable. It would not by itself have been worth driving to from where I live, but as a stopping place it was fun.
Unclaimed Baggage is very clean, super organized, and has a ton to look through. I would say that the best deals by far can be found in the clothing sections, but they aren't all great deals. By that I mean we aren't talking Goodwill prices for everything. High end brands, of which there are plenty, still have a hefty price tag, but less than if an item were new. I'm told the books are a good deal as well, but I didn't really look through them on my visit.
The fact that they buy from all different airlines means they have quite a variety of domestic and international stuff, which makes it fun to look through.
At around 2:30 they did an in-store new arrival opening. Customers could get on a list to open newly acquired luggage. We had to leave before then, but saw plenty of customers with interest in participating.
If you are a parent, know that the majority of children's clothing is in a separate building. I thought it was odd that the whole children's section was about 50 square feet, then an employee told us the cross the parkinglot to another building. There was much, much more over there.
Orion Maier
Definitely worth visiting here as not all items in store are listed on their website. Not everything here will have a good price for everyone, but there is such a large quantity of things that you're bound to find something at a price you'll agree with.
Ghost Tracker Jenny
Always something new to find here. I've found everything from clothing, electronics, sunglasses, purses and more. Worth the drive and exploring
Gino Emanuels
We heard stories of the amazing deals that this place had to offer so we decided to pass by on our way back from the Space Center in Huntsville. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful and the store is massive. As far as the deals go, they didn't live up to the legends. That said, it was a certainly cool and unique experience to see the amount of freight and personal items that get left behind of confiscated. In short, visit for the novelty but don't expect unbelievable bargains.
Tracy Losh
This was the 1st time I'd ever been here and it was a great experience they have just about everything I can't wait to take my mother in law
Tim Summerford
My daughter was getting married and finding a tie was almost impossible.
Walmart hasn't carried any in 3 years.
So Unclaimed baggage saved me from having to go to Huntsville or Chattanooga for a tie.
Steven Guiliani
Some of the best deals on new or nearly new material for 50 percent off or more. This place is awesome
Michael Callahan
If you have a chance check this place out.
Tim Scottt
Love this place been coming here for years I especially love all the variety they have a big building as well
Mollie U
Worth a stop if you're in the area. Neither my friend or I found anything to buy but it was a cool place to walk around in. We did get a snack and coffee in the Cafe area and that was really good!! The employee working that day was very sweet and polite!
W. Scott Davis
Holly was amazing. Her knowledge of the various jewelry products was nothing short of impressive and her patience with my wife as she shopped was commendable. We ended up buying numerous pieces, both for my wife and as gifts, largely because of Holly's personable and professional demeanor.
Thomas Erwin
Loved this store! We got some great bargains here.
Kyle Knittel
Absolutely amazing place there's so many things that you can get that are way more expensive everywhere else.
cynthia ocampo
A lot of the same items, and other stuff thats not really unclaimed baggage items, too pricey on a lot of name brand purses that are used, sunglasses that aren't from unclaimed baggage too pricey, I asked an associate about this and she said about 60 to 70 % are NOT unclaimed baggage..... this place has changed a lot over the years.
Terrie Pung
Love, love, love to shop at this place. Today someone in my shopping party soiled their clothes, which was going to cut our trip short. Will at Customer Service pointed us toward the restrooms and gave me the go-ahead to take a pair of Unclaimed Baggage shorts for a quick-change. He was super understanding, helpful, and saved our shopping day! Annica was also great and so friendly. I always have a fun time shopping here, but was especially grateful for their help today.
Doug Gravino
Always a bit of a treasure hunt when you come here. Great prices on clothing. Electronics prices are relatively close to the eBay used prices.
Cindi Schwartz
I am so grateful Haylea Cooper went above and beyond. To help me find a favorite author I love,
Christine Titus
We made our first trip to Unclaimed Baggage today! I was absolutely overwhelmed at how large and well organized the store is. Carol and Easton were lovely and made our trip extra special. It was a really fun experience and we will definitely be back.
Paul Young
Unfortunately, did not live up to the hype. No deals to be found in used electronics. However, great selection on men's designer coats. Found a gently used $300 Hugo Boss overcoat for $75.
Lexi Shepherd
Such a cool place! So glad we made a trip to see it! It is much bigger than I thought it would be and it had everything you could imagine! We got a few things for ourselves since we needed some clothes. They has so many name brand things! My husband got shoes retailed at 200+$ for 30$! Will definitely be looking for more unclaimed baggage places in the future!
Michael Noerr
It's nice to see Unclaimed Baggage getting back to normal. Still can't find anything I really "need," but they do have a hood variety of just about everything.
Rhonda Gourrier
Fun roadtrip stop, got some sunglasses and earbuds for less than half the retail cost. Also a beautiful ring from Saks, still in the box and had original price tag on it. Cathy behind the jewelry counter was extremely helpful.
Tammy Melton
Go!! Amazing place.We enjoyed the cafe. Too! Special thanks to their team members Georgia P. And Julia!! Friendly and motivated!!
Dana Langford
Very clean and organized! Tons of items- clothes were clean and neatly displayed.
Many people working and were happy to answer questions. Clean fitting rooms, super clean restrooms! Nice snack bar area if you need to take a break or for a husband to wait on a shopping wife! Annica M (worker) was very polite and friendly as she checked us out!
Amy Stein
You never know what you will find here, especially with 7000 new items but out daily. There is a large jewelry counter, sunglasses, a nice selection of books and electronics. There is a much larger selection of women’s clothes than men’s. You have to be patient to sort through the racks but admittedly each area is well organized and separated by category and size.
Chad Gray
Huge inventory of unclaimed merchandise, the prices could've been better.
Jeanne Barry
Stopped by just to take a peek. A HUGE building filled with all kinds of goodies. Something for everyone. A little too pricey on some items. But glad I went.
Joan McWilliams
Lots of electronics, jewelry and other treasures. Excellent staff. People working with tablets and laptops very knowledgeable and eager to help.
J Hobby (Hobby)
Much nicer than expected. Extremely clean, and tons of stuff, priced fairly. Higher quality stuff than in thrift stores.
Meredith Thigpen
I was only able to stop in for just a minute, and Holly made me want to stay all day. She was great and showed me everything with a smile and a good laugh. I will definitely be back. Thanks again, Holly, for a great experience.
Finn Kevane Campbell
I bought Apple AirPods but when they arrived the right one was broken I went to Apple and they said I’d have to buy a replacement I called unclaimed baggage and the customer service was great offering a refund or replacement I got my replacement and arrived today working perfectly, great prices and excellent customer service!
Geddy Hewitt
This place makes for a fun day out. You can find some bargains if you look closely!
Gary Kibble
The store is more and less then we expected. More, in the huge quantity and variety of items that were lost on airplanes. Wedding dresses, fine jewelry, laptop computers, bikes, tents, clothing galore, etc. Makes me really worry about the odds of my luggage being "lost" accidentally. The visit was less then expected, as we hoped for great bargains on these used goods. There were some bargains but mostly we found items way overpriced for 2nd hand goods.
Tom Barr
Long drive from Birmingham for a "high end top quality thrift store". Excellent friendly service and extremely clean well organized and good prices.
Sharon Gaddy
This was my first time visiting this place, Nice place just lil pricey on some things ,,but I loved it,, employees are very nice an helpful...
Patrick Fletcher
The best place
I love going there always find some really nice deals.
Karl Bearden
Made a recent trip here and it was more than worth the drive. Everything is very well organized and if you know what to look for you can find really good deals. All of their staff was super friendly. Shout out to Haylea for helping me out in the jewelry/fitting room department. You rock!
Slesa Adhikari
One of a kind store. There's always something amazing every time I visit the place. I really like the concept and it is eco-friendly too! I got 4 branded jackets, a leather belt, a sweater, all for less than $200! It also has these cool rare items show pieced as a museum artifact, like snake skin, swords, etc. Very cool for a day's visit even if you don't end up buying stuff. I like stuff bought from here, because it's fun imaging a story of how they ended up with me! Must visit if you're near!
Martin Burrow
We traveled about 4 hours to the store, arriving around noon on Saturday. The store is well-organized into departments. Within each Department, it's organized again into a logical system either by size or category. Really easy to navigate.
If you are looking for Men's items, be aware that it's in a completely different building. You'll have to purchase everything else you want and then go to that building. Kind of annoying, but necessary for space I guess. If I were to do it again, I would just start with the men's stuff, pay for it there and then finish in the big store.
There's not many food options in the small town, so take advantage of the cafe on site. Super friendly staff and good prices for the food.
All in all a great visit. Don't expect super low pricing, but expect an interesting visit. Cheaper than Walmart, probably in line with Goodwill, better than both because of selection and staff.
Jaime Adcock
We found some great bargains on sunglasses and clothes still with tags. Our cashier Victoria was very attentive and caught that I almost bought 2 different sizes of the same shoe. Definitely would recommend
Vickey Watson
Great customer service and greeting from Hayley Cooper and Rachel Barnes today 😊 I've spent most of my life working in customer service and it is something I always look for. I'm a firm believer in it will make or break any business! These ladies were great and they are greatly appreciated for the service!! …
Amy Parker
I recently visited Unclaimed Baggage for the first time and enjoyed wandering around looking at all the merchandise.
When we were about to leave I told my husband I needed to use the restroom, but I really didn’t want to use it there. There were so many people in and out of the store I told him I bet the bathroom was nasty - but I gave it a shot anyway! Oh my word! Shout out to Linda and Stephanie, the ladies who clean the restrooms there! That bathroom was spotless! How nice to go into a public bathroom and not walk out feeling nasty! Thank you, ladies, for taking such pride in your job and providing a CLEAN restroom for your customers! Y’all ROCK!!
Philip Busk
Fun place to visit and maybe find a deal if your lucky.
Kelly Denton
The staff was very helpful, the place was very clean and had a good atmosphere. I will definitely be back, again.
Tony Stolze
Fun place to stop for a break on a long road trip! Clean restrooms, plenty of room to roam. And we always find a deal or 2 we want to take advantage. You'll find it all. From a book to read to a new outfit - swimwear to formal. Jewelry from a kids costume piece to diamonds and rubies. Lots of electronics. High end headphones, laptops, game systems, cameras, tablets to cases and games. Plan to spend at least a couple hours.
Jason Rios
Great deals on high quality skiwear. Thanks to Bebith Dixon for the awesome help!!
Mike Hollingsworth
Can find awesome deals on items. Merchandise changes regularly.
Jason Esman
Fun place to visit, lots of great items just fun to check out the history and things people have left behind
Nick Emeric
I was glad i went and i did make a purchase but, if you are looking for bargains, they are few. There is a last chance area where things are severely marked down but, just that one area for bargains. Place is clean and organized although a maze of connected buildings to look through. Staff are nice.
Donnie Taylor
The staff was Amazing and selection was good. Prices fair but something’s seemed over priced. Cathy in jewelry was an Awesome help with Great personality.
Bradford Womack
I used to enjoy coming here all the time. Since then, they have become more mainstream and touristy, so I don’t come as much. Today I came in for a blazer and a few of the workers left me leaving with a smile, Annica keep doing you.
Grace Osborne
An overpriced thrift store. :/ new owners must be money hungry. I used to love this attraction but it’s gone down hill.
Nagmag
Recent paperback book releases are $1.99 and I can always find several I haven’t read. I have found socks at a good price. Most other things are overpriced. Bathrooms are nice though.
ADR ADR
Great deals and reasonable prices. Paid $150 for a laptop and new Stacy Adams.
Amber M. Faust Giger
I was in search of a replacement (used) e-reader and came across Unclaimed Baggage. Though they didn't have an e-reader I liked, I did find a Galaxy Tab A for only $45.
What a deal! It is in amazing condition for being used. There were a few scuffs on the back but not a big deal with a case on.
I shared the great site with my mother who then purchased an Amazon Fire tablet for $35. It was an unlocked, not ad supported version which sells new for over $100.
I don't know if I'd purchase clothing from the site but it is fantastic for electronics.
Eddie Belaval
You know how sometimes when you go on a trip and you bring all your favorite things to said trip only to have them inexplicably slip into the black void of items lost but never found? This here is the other side of that void, the place where lost items wait for their new destiny. Here is where we feast on the fruit of corporate incompetency and inefficiency. Come on come all and buy other peoples stuff at a fraction of the price.
cynthia Scanlon
Holly from the jewelry department was very friendly and knowledgeable. She really made my first visit fun and interesting. We will return
jose olivero
Found good treasures...felt sorry for those who list them. Store was clean and organized. Friendly and helpful staff.
Joanne Nordin
I love this place! Every time I am in Scottsboro I stop in and head straight to the jewelry counter. My last visit was today and Cathy P. Was our sales lady. I had so much fun with her and our conversation. I found out she had lived in the same town as me years ago.
Cathy was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about about the pieces of jewelry. I purchased a pair of Pearl earrings with a vintage touch. My sister bought a pair of black Pearl earrings. Very unusual setting and oh so gorgeous.
This store has everything and it is very orderly and clean. Visit this store, I think you will be surprised!
PS. I think Cathy P deserves a gift card to The Cup. Also the rest of the jewelry staff was friendly and knowledgeable too❤️.
Jen W
This rating is for the online store, as I have never visited the brick and mortar store. Great online selection. The online site is user friendly and very intuitive. Easy and efficient searching for sizes, brands, specific items. Just received my first order in a timely manner. Everything smelled fresh, was nicely packaged, and in 'as expected' shape. I have already placed my second online order! I noticed that several of the in person reviews mentioned 'not bargain prices'. I did look up prices for both orders, and only found 1 shirt cheaper on Amazon (only 1 left in stock in selected size), with several other online retailers selling it at a higher price. So, at least for the online store, pricing is very reasonable. Shipping is free on orders over $75. All in all, highly recommend!
Kathy Parker
Not what it used to be. This place always had great finds and great deals before. But now it's no different than going to a Belk or Macy's. The prices reflect that as well.
A "used, lost luggage" jacket still with store tags for $139.00. Not a deal. The merchandise is just stuff from department stores. No more unclaimed baggage. The lady working there said it's more like unclaimed shipments instead.
Walter Graham
It is overrated. Used to be really good. Prices have really gone up. To commercial now
Brian Ł
This place is pretty amazing lol. You'll never know what you'll find here, it's like a literal treasure trove.
Roy Rice
We stopped by the center after hearing about it for years. At first we were a little underwhelmed but after going to the second building, we found that it exceeced our expectations. The last chance shop is a hoot. A shout out to Rachel who was great, getting a much appreciated wheelchair for my daughter. Great customer service.
Virginia Hames
Love shopping this store for bargains! Large variety of items to shop and most at bargain prices
Mike Chism
This place is absolutely awesome! We got some fantastic buys today. Great inventory. The staff was super nice and helpful, especially Holly and her daughter.
Nancy Smith
Alot of items, any name brand items were really overpriced.
Kameron Stephens
Wonderful place with excellent staff!
If you’re ever in the area and want to do so some thrifting I recommend this place. Good amount of inventory turnover and every employee I met with was helpful and friendly.
Gigi Williams
Great store with great finds!! It’s worth the stop because you’ll find something you absolutely needed or never knew you wanted!
Helen Edwards
Amazing customer service from the time you walk in the door til the time you walk out!! A huge thank you to Tonya S for the help with finding me a belt that fit perfect then she also checked me out with a smile on her face like she enjoyed being at work! I will be back over and over
Bryce VanDoren
This place is amazing! I can't believe all of the things you can find here, from casual and formal clothes to musical instruments, jewelry, sporting goods, and computers. I really can't wait to visit again!
Jordy
I have found many amazing items at this store. My favorite is the Burberry coat I bought. It was in great quality. I have found some nice Aldo shoes and dress pants as well. Everything in great condition from what I have purchased.
Lorraine Farrell
This place is truly amazing. When you can buy your son a brand new Tommy Hilfiger coat for less than $40 you can't go wrong ! Picked up some amazing bargains here so far including several sweaters and trackpants, and will continue looking
M. Eldridge
this place it huge & every time i stop in there is different items to check out. all separated by gender &/or category and prices are reasonable but could be lower since everything in there is used. the men's section is in a different building across the parking lot & in the very back lower section there is a bargain cave area where its really marked down. it fun to check out & every time i pass through i plan to stop in.
Paige Aleece
Extremely large but not everything is cheap -- you can find electronics, watches, books, wedding dresses, leather jackets, designer purses (but these can be $200+)
J C
I have heard about this place for most of my life and was excited to finally visit only to find that it is basically a hugely overpriced thrift store. Every single item is priced as like new or higher. If all of that stuff is from lost or abandoned luggage, then it should be thrift store prices.
Breanna Johnson
It wasn't as good as I expected it to be. it has become more of a thrift store environment with box store prices
Debra Allen
Great place to shop for bargains, although some things are a bit overpriced for it being unclaimed property.
All in all a great way to spend the day....for the whole family as there's something for everyone!!!
Highly recommend it 👍👍
June Williams
They have turned in to a mid-range retail store. If your looking for cheap bargains, skip this place. I do admire their business model though. When air travel fell off, they went to buyouts of different manufacturers. Still to expensive though.
Haris Syed
Hit or Miss, Great prices for sure!
H Johnson
This place is HUGE. Some stuff I found a bit pricey, but I am a penny pincher to the max. I am sure The Name brand stuff is cheap compared to new. Very friendly.
Erika Gracés
Some items are pricy but you can find some hidden gems there!
Beth
I used to visit when I was young and let me just say that they have really expanded! They even have CUPS espresso shop with really great coffee and even nicer employees. Anna G and her co-workers were all so kind. I also really appreciated all the help from the electronics staff. The guys over there are very knowledgeable, friendly and happy to help with everything from questions to the trying of tablet cases to ensure a proper fit for my tablet. This is the ONLY place to go for electronics! The selection of clothes and shoes is also out of this world!
l Slamma l
Haylea was a great help in the book department this weekend.
Lilly Youngblood
Prices are a little high. Large selection of items... Huge buildings
Jim Colbert
I've been here a few times. It's kind of like going on a treasure hunt. Sometimes you find it, sometimes you don't. Last time there I got lucky. It helps to have an idea what you're looking for and how much you're saving. The staff is friendly and helpful. The store is always clean and well stocked. Decent coffee shop too.
Noah Smith
The entire staff was very kind and helped me with any questions and pointed out the second store which Ms. Carla C was at and also very helpful she made sure me and the gentleman behind me were taken care of the entire time
Rich Kennedy
Always stop here when in Scottsboro. Liberty Restaurant then Unclaimed Baggage
Lee Shirley
Great store they have all kinds of great things to buy from DVD to clothes
clang theo
Very fun place. Not many bargains though. Not a lot of plus size clothing either. I know they can only sell what they get but there is still poor variety. I am still glad I went though because I had always wanted to go.
Evan Robinson
Has a bunch of items for sale at reasonable prices. I pads, laptops, mp3 players, cameras, guitars, clothes, etc.. Definitely worth a trip.
G E
Heard about this from Atlas Obscura, and I had to stop. Such a huge variety of stuff. High went nuts looking at all of the clothes, electronics and especially the jewelry. All the high-end jewelry, Reed big-name watches and diamonds, with appraisals that are generally priced at 50%. Seriously 50% off an appraisal of real diamond jewelry, Bose headphones, Switch and PS5 games etc. You have to check this out!!
Haylea helped us out at Jewelry and was VERY helpful/patient as we kept asking her to pull things out of the counter. I think we shocked her when we finally picked something to buy! With baubles in hand we left very happy we stopped by.
Lea Ann Nolen
Last couple of trips have been disappointing. Prices seem too high. Sunglasses and skis we were interested in can be purchased new online for similar price. I'm sure they still have some deals but we didn't find them.
Brian Gentry
It's a treasure hunt every time you go. Great prices too.
Charity David
I mean, we all like to look through people's things. It just felt like a cool scavenger hunt through the store. I had no idea what I was going to buy, and came in with no expectations. I had a fun experience looking through the huge assortment of things, and discovered that the store was never ending. The place is huge. I think it was worth visiting at least once.
DeeDra Harris
You must go and check out the amazing jewelry department at Unclaimed Baggage Center!
I was very impressed with the jewelry selection here. The lady that waited on me her name was Barbara. She was very friendly, always smiling and knowledgeable about the jewelry as I was and asking questions before deciding which item to purchase. She assisted me in looking, finding and purchasing a Michael Kors watch. I love this store I go every chance I get.
Deepa Reeves
It's a neat place to visit and get some bargains. Truly one of a kind 👍 some are great prices and some are okay. But still a really cool place to visit. …
Chelsea Key
Caden J. In electronics was very helpful while we were trying to find a kindle. He was very patient with all of my questions.
Alyssa Smart was also very helpful. She’s always willing to help me with a smile.
Justin M
Really unique experience and had a great time!
The staff was super helpful, Annica and Dylan were great and gave us a few tips about the store, huge thanks to them!
Motojak Now
Overrated for a salvage store. Mostly clothing. Of course they won't let you carry anything good on an airplane so it won't be in the store
Rebekah Spoehr
Cute new and second hand shop in the middle of small town Scottsboro, AL! Staff is all very friendly and nice. I had THE BEST experience in jewelry with Haylea and Jean. They were so kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and let me look at lots of pieces without being pushy or annoyed. They made my first experience memorable and I’ll be back. Thanks Haylea and Jean.
Whatabout BOB
AMAZING had Hornswoggle in a display case! Also some pretty decent deals on cloths. Men definitely got the short end of the stick on choice however there was a 250$ Coke Product Jacket.
Jeff Strueder
Every few years we stop by on our way home from Florida. Never can tell what you're going to find, but there are always deals to be found. Thanks to Brook in the electronics section, we found some great treasures again this time!

My husband and I were visiting the area for work, and since he was last here (roughly 5 years ago), the only thing that has really changed is the prices on the clothes from the sound of it. He would brag about $1 tees. But we went in briefly yesterday and I didn't see that, but $8 tees. But the stores were clean & organized. I will probably go really check it out today, as the last trip was rushed. I did see quite a few items with the tags on, though.
April Baker
I had been wanting to check this place out for quite a while and my mom and I finally snuck out and went. I'm really glad we did. There was really quite a bit to look at and was bigger than I expected. The prices weren't as great as I was expecting but did still actually manage to get a couple great bargains. We had fun and I will definitely be returning. If there is one thing I think they could improve on would be more locations throughout the store for hand sanitizer. There were quite a bit of people in there so we didn't stay long. I do want to mention that their staff were extremely friendly and personable. Would definitely recommend!

Unclaimed Baggage is a big deal in Scottsboro, AL. We did not visit all of the associated off-sites located around town. The main store was interesting and loaded with bargains. I enjoyed the experience! You can definitely make a day of it if you were born to shop!!!
ray Whitney
The 0nline store is unbelievable, with prices so low for new items with tags, you can't quit shopping. We will soon be forced to built new closets to hold all the bargains. You have to look often to catch the best deals, what fun.
Renee Robinson
My brother, sister and I stopped by on our family road trip. The store is very neat, lots of great bargains but the best part are the the staff. EVERYONE was amazingly professional and friendly, especially Pat! Keep up the good work. We live in Colorado, but we’ve already decided when we come back to Alabama we will stop by.

This place is worth visiting once if you're in the area. It may seem like a destination that you can plan a day trip around, but it's really just a huge pawn shop. They have have TONS of clothing, mostly things you don't want. There's likely deals to be had if you're willing to spend the time looking for it.
They also have lots of electronics, sporting goods, and other pawn shop type items that may be good deal. Would probably not go again.

I am so grateful to live only 45 minutes away from this hidden gem, for travelers coming from afar, make it a trip to tour Huntsville then go about 35 miles East of Huntsville to Scottsboro for the infamous Unclaimed Baggage, you will not be disappointed I am here at least once a month, I wanted to highlight two employee's who provided me with exceptional customer service, Carl Dixon in the Electronics Department, his patience and knowledge of apple and android products was enlightening and he was very attentive to my wants and needs. Also Ms. Annette in the jewelry counter her presence, professionalism, and attire embodied I belong here! It was such a pleasure to see her dressed very professionally, and her patience and understanding in fine jewelry and high end fashion speaks volume, she presents a grace that attracts buyers to explore their purchasing power! Ms. Annette, patience, in showing me different elements of jewelry, her patience and understanding should be rewarded. I can only hope that both Carl and Ms. Annette are recognized for going over and beyond their duties and scopes... Kudo's to the both of them....

It is a fun place to see some of the misplaced items from travel 🧳 institutions . Make sure you have plenty of time . I would come again . …
Alicia F
Must see! My husband and I love thrift shopping and this was our favorite trip by far!!! So much to see, nicest employees, and not to mention great prices. Definitely grab a map when you first walk in
Erik Byrd
Some of the prices were high, overall pleasant experience. If you like to thrift a must see. Super clean for a second hand store.
M. T.
Got some fantastic deals on luxury items. Pat in the jewelry department was so helpful. Even gave us directions out of town (came to Scottsboro from Houston strictly for the store.)
A lot items online aren’t available in person so if you see something you like, just buy it and get it shipped.
Watched a couple in front of me vacuum up 30 watches. Retail is really fun even if you just watch it from afar.
Bart Bodoh
Found some really good deals such as leather jacket for $36.00, brand new 6 qt InstaPot for $35.00 (Amazon $90.00). Best experience was in the Jewelry Dept. with Pat Gray! She was knowledgeable, patient, fun and provided incredible customer service! As others have noted, not everything is a great deal but you can find some if you look.
Georgia Rees
I expected bargains. All the items were priced at retail. Yes there were new, never used items that they have bought from pallet sales but to sell items that someone lost on their plane trip for retail prices, really 🤔 …
Stuart Forster
I popped in for lunch at the on-site cafe and enjoyed a barbecue sandwich. The store has a broad choice of used goods recovered from lost luggage, and is an interesting place to look around.
Dennis Kinyua
Wonderful store Excellent service from Annica, Reese, and Caden. Definitely coming back here. Pay them a visit for awesome deals.
Tammy Powrozek
Whatever you might need, fund it here and much cheaper than any store.
Daniel Morrill
Kinda a tourist trap to be honest. I had a coworker who used to live in this town and told me all about it and their great prices and such and encouraged me to go, but that was 10 years ago. When I went a lot of things were selling for near full retail and occasionally even over (They had a last gen Xbox One S selling for 100% retail of the new Xbox Series S). You might get lucky and find something of value cheap, but only if you happen to know exactly what you are looking at and how much it normally costs. I got a switch pro controller for 65% off but that is about the only good deal I could remotely find. Overall The prices weren't that great. I had a much better time and got better deals at the Goodwill down the street.
Tuesday Knight
So delightful dealing with Bebitti Dixon what an asset to your store.
Bella
I am very, very impressed with this place. There is something for everyone! I found so many good shirts, dresses, pants and shoes, as well as a ring and a necklace for less than I would have paid anywhere else. I'm so glad Unclaimed Baggage is helping people in need. As someone who has traveled a lot, I am very happy that the lost luggage gets brought here and given to other people for them to love! Two store attendants, Carol who ran the front desk and Haylea who helped in the dressing room were a big help. They were so kind to me and asked me how they could help whenever they saw me! I would highly recommend visiting this store. :)
J Frost
Never know what you'll find . Tons of clothes and just stuff. Plan a few hours if you really want to dig for deals. Some prices aren't so great some are. If you have time, there are lots of clothes, especially women's. I get most of my business casual clothes here, new condition sone with tags, usually 75% off retail
Kelli Drain
Great experience with Mrs. Pat Gray in fine jewelry. She is a very kind employee and was extremely patient while while I was trying to select a new diamond band. Wish all retail experiences could be this easy and pleasant. Mrs. Gray is both genuine and courteous. She makes shopping the fine jewelry section at UBC a real pleasure. 😊
JML
Lots of stuff, fairly organized (though some of the kids clothes seemed a bit more willy nilly when it came to sizes), pretty good prices. All sorts of clothes and shoes and laptops and earphones and cases and even some video game systems. It's amazing what people leave at the airport.
There's also a little cafe in the building.
Austin Harris
What a unique experience. If you like used things and digging through other people's clothes, this is heaven. There is an odd absence of actual baggage, like they toss the luggage and sell the stuff. My only complaint was the jewelry. Obviously it used to belong to someone and has been worn, but a lot of it was dirty/tarnished. With all the people working there and the money 🤑 they are clearly making, an ultrasonic cleaner and a toothbrush would go a long way to sell more jewelry.
emily hall
Great stop!!! Find all the things you never knew you needed for a low price.
Found Levis that fit like a glove, a wicker duck shaped purse, gold hot shorts, and so much more.
Thanks for the teacher perks this month! It's so very appreciated to be appreciated.
Robert Oliver
Super cool place, picked up a few items at unbelievable prices. Always wanted to go there, and will go again.
Treston Tanner
Always fun to see what they have here. Always very clean and organized. Annica was very friendly and helpful during the checkout process. Never leave here without a good deal.
Samantha B
Man! I was SUPER excited to visit this place after hearing about through a YouTube video! It was okay. But honestly, it seemed more like a flea market. Some items were priced extremely high for the usage of the item. Example, a pair of Jimmy Choos were priced $170, but the bottom of them had DEFINITELY seen their fair share of usage.
Buford Crutcher
This has become my favorite place to shop with my family. They have the best deals on all types of merchandise. The service is also spectacular. We received help from Alexis Bolton, she’s one of the best sales reps I had a long time. She was so knowledgeable of the merchandise and was able to direct me to exactly what I was looking for. It’s great to shop and have help from someone who’s honestly trying to do her best with making sure we were satisfied. If you've never visited unclaimed baggage center, you don’t know what you’re missing.
Vikki Neugebauer
Great service from Caden J. We just wish he would have suggested that we try out the headphones before purchasing them. We forgot to do that in our excitement of finding such a great deal. Got home to NC and found out that they did not work. Bummer. However, we called and Kristen helped us and told us to mail them back within the 14 day period and they would give us a refund. Let's hope that works!
Monae Butler
Place was great so much stuff didn't have problem from finding what I wanted
Scott Kirby
The prices aren't great but the store is very nice with some interesting finds in museum cases.
Cathi Potvin
Cool stuff! Some of it wasn't cheap!
Paul Marks
Amazing place. Differently worth a stop. You can find some great deals just don't expect super-low thrift store prices.
T Marie
It’s a neat experience and I like that it has a little Starbucks, but the prices were way higher than expected. They had some really nice things and tons of higher end brands and really nice things, but the pricing is a bit much.
Rickey Ragland
Kinda over priced on A lot of items especially electronics jewelry. A stainless steel ring with a big fake piece of purple glass $50.00 bucks Amazon $18.00. But I suggest people to there research new prices before they spend.
Emily Stewart
Bebith Dixon was a great help today at the ski sale!!
Timothy Wyant
Most Beautiful and Fun place! I Found lots of Great items... Very Friendly Sales Staff...
Jameel Edwards
I purchased a pair of Bose NC 700 headphones, silver color, in July 2021. They came in the original case with accessories, and look brand new. So far, they are functioning like new. I'm glad I jumped on them (purchased) when I did.
Jojo
Lots of stuff here. Great prices!
Valeria Chaparro
Best customer service with Holly in the jewelry department very kind and was extremely helpful and patient with me.
Kylie Peebles
First time coming into the store and what a pickers wonderland! If you like to hunt for one of a kind pieces or supplies etc. this is the place for you, seriously, never know what you will stumble upon. The owner Matt was a pleasure to chat with and answered any question I had and filled me in on the history of some items. Super laid back, and good prices. Hidden gem and I will definitely be back!
Ana Ortiz
This place is AMAZING!! I have been a "regular" since 2013!! AND let me tell you... if you like to buy jewelry, this is a really good place; you get amazing deals!
PAT GRAY, is the lady you should ask for at the jewelry area...Pat is amazing! I only go if Pat is working, she helps me out and does a great job! She is very familiar with all items available and once she understands what you like, she is great at suggesting other items. Go, Pat!!! xoxoxo, Ana O
Jimmy Bryant
Went during renovation so merchandise was sparse and out of its designated spot. Prices seem to be a little high for some items but overall a good experience.
William Nobles
Very cool store with something for everyone. Will have to go back when I have more time.
Dale Crear
Nice day trip. I would be disappointed if I had to drive more than 3 hours.Hit and miss deals. Some things are waaaaay overpriced to be used merchandise. Nice little eatery inside. Not for a full meal but to hold you over until mealtime. Very clean and overall friendly staff.
Jerome Burless
I bought a pair of Bose headphones online for $70.00 the thing retail for $300.00. The description of the headphones said they showed sign of wear and with the heavy discount I was not sure how bad they would be because the pictures made it a little hard to tell. However I can say that I since received them and they basically look brand new they even came with what appears to be the original case. I could not be happier with my purchase.
Jessica Clark
So many options, the store just keeps going for both men and women clothes. Love this place! We will definitely be going back!
Jennifer Buckley
Enjoyed first trip today. Soo many items! I also had a cup of Brunswick stew; very tasty.
Beverly Etheridge
Unique concept and store. Wide variety of items and prices. The staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. I will return if given the chance
Christi Martin
This is probably one of the most unique and enjoyable places to visit in Scottsboro, AL. Not only can you find some of the best deals you'll ever find, but there are some very nice and good people working there as well.
Steve Wells
Wanted to do a more thorough review, because the place warrants it. Personally, it is worth the drive every so often, because it is kind of like a high-end thrift shop. The reason it is 4-star and not 5-star is that I feel like the pricing is a little high for some things.
They have a large selection of electronics, and they are aren't in bad shape, but the pricing is about the same as anywhere else. The good news is that if you have to buy second hand or want to you can get some nice stuff at a fair price.
There is a lot of clothing in the store and it is all of very good quality. Some of the stuff looked new, and probably was. I got the feeling that not everything there was "Unclaimed Baggage," but a mix of overruns and end of season items from retailers. That's a good thing. I found a belt that was new for about half the price or maybe less than in stores.
Finally, the star to me is the "junk" electronics area near the books, sporting goods, electronics case and actual bags. If you are looking for a travel adapter, they have it... cheap. They also had some interesting audio gear, and even fiber jumpers. If you are a tech guy, this place is a gold mine.
Michael Morgan
Actually had a lot of stuff, and very good prices.
Cecil D. Knight Jr
My thoughts only so,,,the men's stuff should be in the main building. Now in other out building. Spread onto 2 floors. It is a long route from Men's to roll back to main building, go in side entrance, roll to far right side, roll up steep wheelchair incline to get to bathroom next to electronics. All else fine, handicapped parking, entrances, etc. Wife and I both found "treasures" we did not expect. Thanks Again
Candra Chambell
I loved it! A must visit in my book. I got a couple of amazing deals. My must-see sections are the handbag section and the electronics area. The prices are very reasonable for the electronics and the handbags. There are a few things that I would consider over-priced. Some of the clothing and jewelry were definitely not realistically priced. However, if you are will to dig you can really catch some great deals!
Ashley Doufexis
I’ve been shopping with Unclaimed Baggage since I was 7 or 8 years old—almost 30 years! I love that each trip is so unique in the things that I find. I’ve always had a pleasant experience in the store—everything is clean, organized and lots of variety. There is even a coffee shop with cafe and bakery items which means you can take shopping breaks and pretty much stay for a whole day! 🤪
Michele Kelley
We have been stopping at Unclaimed Baggage every time we go to Florida for years and years. Always love discovering new items. Plan on spending a couple hours to look around.
Chasity Boggs
Go with time to spare if you are looking for a bargain. Upscale atmosphere with accommodating staff. No, you will not find a $400 jacket for $3 but you will find that same jacket professionally cleaned and organized for $200 or less. Best buys are on higher end items and electronics.
Peggy Franklin
Great place.... amazing!!! Jean was super helpful as was everyone at the place. Great day, great experience, great buys!!!
Jody Guffey
A nice place but high on there prices
James Lee
Always great deals with friendly people.
Blake Bishop
Thank you Cathy for you help in jewelry to locate a new replacement wedding band.
The store is awesome, lots of history all around, high quality items.
Kenya Bradshaw
There was something for everyone. Whatever you could beblookikg for it was here. Lots of high end selections at bargain prices. Lots of treasures you didn't even know you were looking for but end up taking home with you bc "I just couldn't leave that there at that price" LOL.
A must visit at least once or twice or...
Emily Crenshaw
So cool!!! There are a few hidden gems but I've noticed they mark a lot off stuff the same as retail and even saw some used Walmart items marked more than they are new in store. Love checking out ever so often since it's never the same stuff. Love the sandwich/ coffee shop inside but they're really pricey... but worth it as it's quality and made from scratch
Lucyna Frendi
Great place to shop for jewelry , I had a wonderful experience many , many times . My most recent was 2 weeks ago , I was assisted by Ms Pat Grey : very attentive , most knowledgeable about the gems , patient , didn’t rush me , gave me personal attention and time until I found , what I was looking for . I love all the jewelry staff , they are most pleasant ladies , very polite and helpful ! Thank you so much .
Andrew Segal
At one point in time this place was great but it has become something of a victim of its own success and it no longer houses all great deals. The problem is that they have different people setting pricing... some set lower prices than others. There are some very good bargains but do not expect this across the board ....it is more like a treasure hunt where there are some great deals among a lot of not so great or mediocre bargain's. Also many people come with "buyers fever" from other states and countries and the store seems to be able to charge higher prices due to this.. There are still good bargains but be aware you will need to look- not everything is a bargain.
I do think it is worth a trip but only if you are aware of and willing to search for the bargains: if you expect everything to be a fantastic price you will be disappointed.
The staff is extremely nice and friendly. The " returns" policy is terrible- all you will get is a store credit -not of much use if you leave the area or do not frequent the store.
Native Song
Always good to drop by and check out new things!
Let's Be Us
We visited Unclaimed Baggage Center today and not only did we find some great clothes and even a piece for our GoPro, but the service from the employees was incredible. Mary S. at the jewelry counter took time to chat with us about the store’s history and process and showed us some incredible pieces in the jewelry cabinet. We also spoke with Gracie at the checkout line who was so sweet, welcoming, and personal. Thanks for a fun afternoon, unclaimed baggage team!
Louisa Franklin
We purchased a brand new suitcase and a beautiful ruby and diamond ring in a white 14k gold setting. The ring is stunning, and Mary S., our salesperson, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. What a fun visit!
Isabella
It’s not really a thrift store, but more of an outlet of discounted goods and clothes. Don’t come here expecting it to be super cheap and then you won’t be disappointed. They do stock some interesting items. The book section itself is worth the stop if you are an avid reader because books on the best seller list are priced at $2-3. They have clean restrooms, a place to grab coffee, snacks, or a sandwich, and there’s even a sitting area on the porch if you want to hangout for a bit while you eat. It really is the perfect stopping place if you’ve been on the road for a while. I guarantee you’ll find something you like. They would totally earn 5 stars if the prices weren’t so high!
Tommy Reynolds (Oldest Software Guy)
My advice is simple: something catch your eye? Buy it on sight; it won't be there when you come back. This business buys lost luggage by the truck-load and sells it retail. There is no fixed inventory which means every visit is to a new store. It also explains my shopping rule earlier.
SWMBO understands this rule quite well. Apparently she is passing that lore on to the Urchin most earnestly. Help, I'm outnumbered.
Jake Conner
Not everything in the store is a bargain by any means.. But there are some good deals. I got a $600+/- Hugo suit for $125 in great condition. It's definitely worth the trip if you're looking for clothes.
thomas harris
Great service thanks Linda holt &bebith dixon
Traveling
This was a fun place to visit. They have just about everything. Prices are great! I waited at jewelry counter for a long time, no one came, I went looking from there.
Marissa Sealey
This place is very big. I loved jayda c. She was very helpful with showing me where things were and helping me in the fitting rooms.
Prestyn Chapman
Love this place! They have some amazing deals on stuff. I do wish that their selection was bigger, but this might just be due to the drastic decrease in air travel in the past year, meaning there is less unclaimed baggage to sell. In the past, their selection was much bigger. Anytime I am in the area, I will definitely be visiting.
donna rothamer
Uhhhhhh, MY NEW FAVORITE 🤗😃 just drop me off & pick me up at closing 🤣 I mean really, they got sooooo much great stuff, & I am loving them prices 😁 name brands....and there is no junk here( at least I didn't see any...& I did only look in areas I was interested in.....so cut me slack if u go and see otherwise 😆) I am FOR SURE GOING BACK ❤❤❤❤❤
Blake Bishop
Thank you Cathy in jewelry for help in locating a replacement wedding band.
The store is awesome, history all around you and great quality of items all around to buy.
David Crow
Super interesting, basically a big thrift shop. Some awesome finds. I'd definitely bring a southern family to get all their clothes before a ski trip. Some prices are strange: being threadbare is no discount, but new with a button missing might be half off. Good tech deals, too. Almost no luggage, oddly, but that makes sense considering it was likely broken while getting lost.
Heather Carr
Store was clean and cafe had good food. My kids found good bargains, but we were all a little disappointed that we didn't see more odd finds. You can get notifications if new things come in, so if you lived closer, you might have a chance to see more interesting stuff.
Roger Cotton
Unclaimed Baggage is a must-stop when you're in the area. Inventory constantly changes so you never know what you will find.
I go primarily for cameras and electronics. Always good prices.
Felicity Komosumee
I'm a huge fan of the labyrinth and was excited to see hoggle! The cloths was a great variety but price was so so. Was sad to see a used night gown robe more pricey than the brand new one at its original store but hey, it was interesting and the employees was very nice!
Damian Quattlebaum
Not sure what I expected when I walked in, but after my first visit I would say it's like a "marginally more upscale Goodwill store". I hoped to find a deal I just couldn't pass up, but that didn't happen. However, if you get invited to a party that has a "theme", this place probably can help you get your costume started...no matter what kind of party you need an outfit for.
Bo Gregg
Love this place! Always find good clothes to wear at well below retail price! It's a never-miss version of a thrift store!
Not to mention their social media program is very engaging! They keep you updated on new arrivals and goings-on at the store. 10's (5's) all around!
Darrell Gilliam
There were pretty decent prices on the clothes, shoes and belts. Books - great. Apple electronics I can get new for the same price on Amazon. They had three pistols I could buy for at least $100 cheaper online. If you know what it is you’re looking for, you can sort through their products and find some great deals - but not everything.
Alex McAlpin
Easton Smart is a very helpful associate.
They've always got awesome stuff, I love it.
It may not be that great to some others but that's their opinion. Definitely not mine.
You will find things here that you won't find other places, and to me that's a good thing.
They have free Wi-Fi so you can research your purchases before buying, even though there is literally 0% cell phone service in their building.
Haunted Heather
Used to be a fun and valued place to find nicer things at a deep discount. Was nice to be able to have things I would have never had the budget for before. Now it's just another high priced resale store. Disappointed...
FunghiTRUFF13
They’ve changed over the years, yet it’s always hit or miss with this place since you never know what’s there, though it’s fun to skim through.
AnnaLee Tillman
You never know for sure what you are going to find, but it is a treasure trove of surprises. Found a gorgeous suit, shoes, tie, and shirt for our son and the price was incredible!
Graham Manor
Never a dull moment, and always a good thrift at unclaimed. On top of the excellent inventory and thrifty pricing, their staff are super courteous and accommodating. Mark specifically went out of his way to give my 2 year old a chocolate chip cookie when he was acting out. Highly recommended
Ethan Grabowski
First time shopping experience was very enjoyable! Major discounts on name brands, wide selection of clothes, shoes, books, and electronics. Got about $250 worth of clothes for $100, would definitely recommend checking out if you're in the area.
Erin Seals
What bad can be said about this place. Nothing. That's what. I loved shopping there today. I got some really good deals on some books. Always will return. There's always something different.
Nathan Machen
This place has a little bit of everything. They have a really good selection but they are starting to sell prices for retail in electronics or it would be a 5
J. Kevin Humler
Got a whole summer wardrobe for under $200. Would have cost me quadruple if not for Unclaimed Baggage. Thank you!
Elaine Mayes
World renowned place to shop! You can certainly find some great bargains here for the whole family. The cafe has delicious food and exceptional coffees & teas. Be sure to check out the other building for “last chance” bargains, children’s clothing & toiletries. Don’t be in a rush— you might miss the book or technology sections near the mezzanine.
Paul Silva
A nice place with higher-end gently used products at great prices. Perhaps because it was crowded there, we got no help from the staff.
Benjamin Doggett
The place mainly sells clothes, everything else is limited and I found the prices pretty high for for what is essentially a thrift shop. I was hoping to find more "stuff" at a place where all the airlines dump their unclaimed luggage.
Mikki Hess
The store is a great place to go. We never k ow what you are going to find. We stopped this year not as much Stuff as last year. But what do you expect when covid had everything shut down and so much restrictions on. Glad they survived and still here.
Jason Lawrence
Amazing store and Holly was super helpful. We always enjoy stopping at Unclaimed Baggage when passing through to Huntsville!
Robert Brown
How have I not reviewed this place yet?
I've been going to the Unclaimed Baggage Center since at least college. I've found all sorts of things: cameras and luggage during art school, outdoor backpacks and gear when I started backpacking, headphones, an iPad Pro, Patagonia shorts and jackets, etc. etc. I've even found a brand-new espresso machine and coffee grinder!
There's an art to shopping the UBC. They receive new unclaimed baggage about 90 days or so after airports recover them from lounges, seats, and airplanes, so if you're wanting to see what kind of haul you can find post-Christmas, you'll need to come in March, for instance. Come early, and comb through everything!
Given the nature of the store, there's no telling what you'll find, and there's only one of it unless UBC bought an unclaimed freight container, then you'll see a WHOLE lot of similar items. I saw a whole fixture of Hershel bags on a recent trip, as well as anything United By Blue has ever made.
If you're curious about something, put it in your cart and try it on - the dressing room staff are more than happy to let you try about anything on, and will replace items that don't work out for you. The electronics staff will let you play with items to make sure they work, and will hold it for you until EOD.
A few things to consider: you may find a killer tripod, digital camera, or pair of headphones, only to realize they're missing a component - charging cables are often nowhere around - so don't be afraid to pull your phone out and research items before buying. Along the same lines, sometimes equipment - a tripod and fluid head, say - will separated, so dig around and see if you can find all the components before purchasing.
Play with cameras and laptops THOROUGHLY before purchasing. They have a tight, but still generous, return and exchange policy, but they have different rules for different categories, plus it requires another trip to Scottsboro.
A few gripes that altogether have knocked off a whole star. This has been a gradual change, but the UBC has gotten wiser about pricing, especially electronics. Sometimes they can still have good deals - my iPad Pro was priced $150 lower than Apple for the exact same product - but sometimes I'll see things, especially Apple laptops, priced higher, sometimes MUCH higher, than even retail stores. I get wanting to price competitively and get as much money as you can, but don't rely solely on eBay. After all, if it isn't a good deal, people aren't going to buy it, and that means more stuff sitting on shelves. Don't be afraid to price research if you're unsure about whether it's a good deal or not. Don't be afraid to pass on an item, and don't be rude or confrontational; the floor workers have ZERO power to haggle or adjust prices. When in doubt, roll the dice and see if a manager will - you never know!
The other gripe I have is the UBC online store. Don't get me wrong, there is still a TON of stuff to find in the brick and mortar store, but I've wondered if diamond-in-the-rough finds like my Patagonia jacket are a thing of the past, because they scooped up a similar find for the online store. I recently found a Taylor Stitch shirt jacket for $30 (!) on their online store, but my recent trip didn't find many name brands in-store outside of the unclaimed United by Blue freight. I understand the online store, but I hope it doesn't diminish the in-store experience that brings so many people to Scottsboro.
greg thacker
Heard so much about this place. Visiting a friend in Chattanooga, he suggested we make the trip over and the place doesn't disappoint.
Tons of clothes for men and women. Books and electronics.
Nice little coffee shop. Georgia our barista was great and she alao helped us at the electronic counter. Great customer service! I will be back...
Sarah Wright
This was an interesting store, as long as you know what you're looking for. Some of the clothes are really expensive, but the books are very cheap. They have a lot of reasonably priced name brand shoes. Overall, it's a great place to go and look at all the stuff, but I don't know that it would be worth a special trip.
Mike Fay
Nice place. No real bargains.
amanda g
I have always loved coming to this store. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Yes, sometimes I may not find anything, but some days I will find some really awesome deals. They put new merchandise out throughout the day. Just because you didn't find something one day doesn't mean you won't find something else the next day!
Also, the chicken salad in the Cups cafe is great! -Amanda

My daughter and I went there for a few hours. They had a lot of name brand clothing items. She bought 3 coats including a Kenneth Cole that was only $25. They had a large selection of books and jewelry as well as quite a few tablets and mac books. We will definitely be going back.
