All you need to do is make use of a higher dimension to pack stuff into. And then mass produce to bring costs down. How hard can that be?

Skippy the Magnificent will solve this for us.

(reference to a character in the Expiditionary Force series by Craig Alanson

Only a very small portion of his physical presence is in local spacetime, with the rest in higher spacetime. He can expand his physical presence from the size of an oil drum or shrink to the size of a lipstick tube. He can’t maintain that for long without risking catastrophic effects. If he did, he would lose containment, fully materialize in local spacetime and occupy local space equal to one quarter the size of Paradise. The resulting explosion would eventually be seen in the Andromeda Galaxy.)
