Weird Packing Tips You’ve Never Thought of

Weird works—trust us. Some of the most unusual and creative advice is also the best, even when it comes to packing. So with the help of some of our well-traveled readers, as well as our social media friends and followers on Twitter and Facebook, we’ve compiled a list of nine outlandish packing strategies that are as practical as they are unusual, from sending luggage through the mail to giving up luggage altogether.

We hand-pick everything we recommend and select items through testing and reviews. Some products are sent to us free of charge with no incentive to offer a favorable review. We offer our unbiased opinions and do not accept compensation to review products. All items are in stock and prices are accurate at the time of publication. If you buy something through our links, we may earn a commission.
