The journey from a factory in Vietnam to our shipping facility in the US can be unexpectedly long and unpredictable, depending on various outside factors, such as weather conditions, manpower, and even climate change.

It's also one part of our production process where we constantly look for ways to reduce our impact.

📍 Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Finished products are loaded into shipping containers

Each product’s carton is specially designed to minimize airspace and maximize density in any shipping container or vehicle to decrease the carbon footprint of transport.

 

📍 The Ocean

We choose ocean freighting because it is widely considered to be the most eco-friendly option. Long-haul air freight generates 47x as much greenhouse gas emissions as ocean freight, per ton-mile.

 

The ocean freight journey from Vietnam to Texas usually passes through the Panama Canal to the port of Houston. A recent drought in Panama limited the number and size of ships that could pass through the canal, creating a new unexpected logistics challenge.

 

When they arrive in the US, they must pass through US customs inspections before being transported to our warehouse

*You know those little “Made in” labels that you find in almost all products? If US customs inspects a shipment of goods and doesn’t find these labels on each product, the entire shipment can be rejected from entering the US.
