Inventory is arriving in the US soon.

We're shipping preorders in batches from our factory in Vietnam to our warehouse in Los Angeles, to you—beginning with our earliest customers from July 2025. It takes 2-8 days from port to warehouse and we ship your order immediately once it lands. Your tracking email goes out as soon as your batch ships.

Check your inbox from hello@thecarry.co for your batch assignment and estimated ship window. View the table below to view where each batch stands.

Preorders have been broken up into batches.
We're shipping orders from Vietnam to the US in batches to speed of delivery time.

First three shipments are in motion.
Batch #1 has arrived in LA and is being prepared for transit to warehouse, #2 & #3 shipments are making their way to us via direct vessel—the fastest route available, no stops. The remaining inventory follows in 2-3 weeks after.

The quality is there. We made sure of it.
Your Beta Bundle is built, and we're genuinely proud of what's going into your hands. The revisions and refinements we made along the way—they show.

We caught a packaging issue and have a solution.
We’ve had to work through a packaging issue caught in Vietnam. No product was damaged.

We moved fulfillment to LA.
Switching our warehouse to Los Angeles cut 7-10 days off delivery time once inventory arrives in port, instead of shipping from LA to Seattle, then fulfilling.

You may see The Carry in the wild first.
We air-freighted a small number of units for final quality checks, marketing and launch photography. If you spot the vest on social before yours arrives, that's why.
