Packing cubes delivered to Edinburgh
The tram makes Edinburgh Airport genuinely easy, which is why so many trips from the city are carry-on only.
Do you deliver packing cubes to Edinburgh?
Yes, we deliver packing cubes to Edinburgh - free over £20, dispatched within 48 hours and with you inside eight days. The tram from the city centre to the airport makes hand-luggage-only travel unusually easy here, which is why so many Edinburgh trips never involve the bag drop at all.
Edinburgh, the tram and the cabin bag
Edinburgh is one of the best cities in Britain for travelling light, and the reason is dull and practical: the tram. When the airport is a predictable half hour from Princes Street with your bag on your lap, the calculation changes. You stop thinking about what the car boot will take and start thinking about what you can carry up the steps at St Andrew Square.
That pushes people towards cabin-only, and cabin-only is where cubes stop being tidiness and start being capacity. A 40-litre bag packed loose holds noticeably less than the same bag packed in squared-off blocks, because loose clothing wastes the corners.
August is its own packing problem. Festival visitors are here for a fortnight in a city where it can be 22 degrees at lunchtime and 11 degrees and raining by the time a show finishes, and they are usually staying somewhere with a wardrobe the size of a phone box. Packing by category rather than by outfit is what makes a small flat workable for two weeks.
If you are flying home with more than you left with - and at Festival time most people are - a compression cube on the return leg is the difference between closing the case and sitting on it.
What we would pack for this trip
- Six-Piece Navy Packing Cube Set: a category per cube for a fortnight in a small flat
- Black Compression Packing Cubes, Set of Three: for the layers August demands and the trip home
- Clear Toiletry Bag Set of Three: straight out on the tram, straight into the tray
Packing cubes delivered to Edinburgh – FAQs
Do you deliver to Edinburgh?
Yes, on the same terms as the rest of the UK: free over £20, a flat £5.99 under it, dispatched within 48 hours and delivered within eight days. We are online only, so there is no Edinburgh branch to collect from.
What should I pack for the Festival?
Layers, and fewer of them than you think. A fortnight of Edinburgh weather needs one warm layer, one waterproof and clothes that mix, not fourteen separate outfits. Give each category a cube and you can live out of the case in a flat with no drawers.
