Recently I ordered a soft toy from Amazon, its huge in actual size, like 3ft or something but Amazon had vacuum packed it to the size of a laptop. Since then I started wondering if I could use that.
I’m moving across country, normally I’d leave most of my clothes and blankets here because they are bulky and puffy and take up a lot of space. But in reality they are very light. And I always tend to travel light from the 50lb weight limit, it’s just that the clothes take up almost all of the space where I can’t push it any further.
So I was starting to consider if vacuum packing would be a good idea. In my mind if I can use that I can even compress my pillows and take them with me and then leave them in the sun for a couple days to let them stretch out.
Do the magic bags and vacuum bags sold on Amazon and Walmart do job effectively enough if anyone has experience with them.
The difference in my situation is that I do not have to pack the bags on the way back so I was considering purchasing a pump and bags separately, and then I could just leave the pump instead of half my stuff.
If anyone has other suggestions let me know as well.
Thanks a lot
