Sunday Carry

You already own nine reusable bags. They are in a ball under the sink, or going soft in the boot, or sitting on the kitchen bench on the exact morning you needed them. That is not the missing piece, and buying a tenth is not either.

The missing piece is that a bag has to be packed.

You stand at the end of the checkout and play Tetris. Bread somewhere it will not get crushed. Tins somewhere they will not crush anything. Something soft on top, something awkward going in sideways, and the whole time the next person's shopping is arriving behind yours.

Then you solve the same puzzle again at the car, and again at the front door.

That is where the weekly shop actually costs you. Not the aisles. Not the queue. The few minutes at either end where you are doing a packing problem with your hands full.

And you will do it again next week. And the week after that.

It is a bag that lies flat.

You put it down and open it out, and your shopping goes straight onto it instead of down into it. Nothing gets posted through a narrow opening. Nothing has to go in a particular order.

When you are done, you bring the sides together and it closes around what is on it.

There is nothing to pack, because you are not filling a bag. You are loading a surface, then closing it.

We are not going to pretend this is technology. It is fabric and a sensible idea. What it changes is not the shopping. It is the part at either end that you stopped noticing was a choice.

• You stop playing Tetris at the checkout, because everything is in front of you while you load it instead of disappearing into a gap.
• You stop buying reusable bags you already own, because the reason you keep buying them is that they are never with you, and this one lives in the car.
• It is there for the shop you did not plan, the one on the way home from somewhere else, where you would otherwise take the plastic ones at the register.
• It opens flat into a mat, so the same object works on a Saturday. A park, the sideline, the beach. You did not pack it and you did not go back for it, because it was already in the boot.
• You bought it for Tuesday. You will remember it for the Saturdays.

You can find something that looks like this online for about half the price. You should know that before you buy from us, not after.

So why is ours seventy.

Two honest answers, and they are the only two we can actually stand behind.

One. Someone actually answers. hello@sundaycarry.shop is a real address and a real person reads it. When something goes wrong you are talking to the person who chose the product, not to a queue.

Two. We sell one thing, so we have nowhere to hide. Not a category, not a catalogue, one product. If this is bad, we have no other line to sell you and no way to bury the complaint. That is a worse position for us than for a store with three thousand SKUs, and it is the whole reason to buy from a store like this instead of a marketplace listing.

Go and read the returns policy on whichever cheap one you are looking at, before you buy it. We are not going to tell you what it says, because we have not read them and we are not going to guess in order to win an argument. We will tell you exactly what ours says, in full, further down this page. Put the two side by side and decide for yourself.

And a third answer we are not going to give you. We are not going to tell you ours is better made, because we have not put it side by side with a cheaper one and measured it. When we have, we will tell you exactly what we found, including if the answer is that they are the same. Until then we would rather leave the claim out than make one we cannot back.

Shipping is calculated at checkout. Standard from A$11, Express from A$15. Australia-wide.

Thirty days to change your mind, counted from the day it arrives.

If it is not for you, email hello@sundaycarry.shop with your order number. No form, no reason required, and no phone call where someone tries to talk you out of it.

Send it back unused, clean and in its original packaging and we refund you. Return postage is yours to cover. If it turns up faulty or damaged, we cover the lot.

We answer every email ourselves, within one business day.

We cannot promise this changes your life. It is a bag.

What we are promising is narrow, and we think it is worth seventy dollars: the few minutes at either end of the weekly shop get simpler, and they get simpler every week for as long as you own it.

If the way you shop now does not annoy you, keep your seventy dollars. Nothing here is broken enough to need fixing if you have never once stood at the boot working out how many you can carry.

Click the button, pick how many you want, and put your details in. Card details go straight to our payment provider. We never see them. You will get an order confirmation email within a couple of minutes. If it does not turn up, check your junk folder, then email hello@sundaycarry.shop and a person will sort it out.

You are going to do the shop this week. You did it last week and you will do it the week after. That is the entire case for this, and it is why we think it is worth seventy dollars: it is not a thing you might use, it is a thing you will use on a fixed schedule for as long as you keep eating.

Most of what you buy gets used less than you expected. This one gets used every week, whether you meant to or not.

P.S. The thirty days is the part we would pay attention to. Take the time, decide properly, and if it is not for you, email us inside the thirty days with your order number and we will refund you. Unused, clean, in its original packaging, and the postage back is yours. That is not fine print, it is the whole deal, and it is why we can afford to be this blunt about the cheaper ones online.
