Packing cubes delivered to Aberdeen
Aberdeen flies a lot of working travellers, which means shirts that need to arrive flat rather than folded into a corner.
Do you deliver packing cubes to Aberdeen?
Yes, we deliver to Aberdeen. There is no shop to visit - we are online only - but orders over £20 ship free, leave within 48 hours and arrive within eight days. Aberdeen International handles the shuttle traffic to London and Amsterdam, and the harbour handles the overnight boats north to Orkney and Shetland.
Flying out of Aberdeen
Aberdeen does a kind of travel most of the country does not. A large share of the traffic through Dyce is people going to work rather than on holiday - offshore rotations, three weeks on and three weeks off, and a bag that has to hold work clothes and civilian clothes at the same time. That is a folding problem, not a volume one.
The trick for a rotation bag is to stop treating it as one bag. Keep the offshore kit in its own cube and never unpack it between trips; keep the going-out clothes in a second. You repack one of the two and the other stays done. Shirts that have to arrive flat go in a firm cube on top of the stack, not underneath the boots.
The other Aberdeen trip is the boat. NorthLink sails overnight from the harbour to Kirkwall and Lerwick, and a ferry cabin has roughly the storage of a wardrobe with the door taken off. Cubes are the only sensible way to live out of a bag in that space: lift two out, leave the rest in the case, and you can find a jumper at 6am without turning the light on.
Aberdeen weather also earns a mention. Even in July the wind comes off the North Sea, so the coat you pack for a Scottish trip is heavier than the one you would take from Exeter - and a heavy coat is the single thing most likely to stop a case shutting.
What we would pack for this trip
- Grey Packing Cube Set, Six Pieces: enough cubes to keep the work bag and the home bag separate
- Navy Compression Cubes, Small Medium Large: for the North Sea coat that will not otherwise fit
- Men's Hanging Wash Bag: hooks over a rig or ferry cabin door where there is no shelf
Packing cubes delivered to Aberdeen – FAQs
Do you deliver to Aberdeen and the north-east of Scotland?
Yes, and to AB postcodes generally, at the same price as anywhere else in the UK - free over £20, a flat £5.99 under it. Delivery to the north-east occasionally runs a day longer than the central belt, which is why we quote eight days rather than a tighter promise.
Are packing cubes any use for an offshore rotation?
They are one of the few situations where they genuinely change the routine. Keeping the work kit permanently packed in its own cube means you repack half a bag instead of a whole one, and the clothes you actually want at the end of a trip are not buried under three weeks of workwear.
