Why Boston Brands Pick Matrix

Four Reasons Boston Brands Fulfill From Los Angeles

1
Dated Stock Ships in Order
Lot tracking and first-expired, first-out picking keep supplements and wellness products moving before their dates.

Close to the West Coast Ports
Inventory made in Asia arrives at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach near our warehouse, without a cross-country leg first.
3
Same-Day by 5 PM Eastern
Our 2 PM Pacific cutoff is 5 PM in Boston, so weekday orders from your full workday ship the same day.
4
Books and Bundles Handled
Book brands and publishers can ship single titles, sets and bundles built as their own SKUs.

FAQ

Questions From Boston Brands

Still unsure? Call (310) 415-7759 and talk to the team that packs your orders.

Is Matrix located in Boston?

No. Our only warehouse is in Los Angeles, California. Boston brands store inventory there and we ship their orders across the country.

What is the same-day cutoff for Boston brands?

Weekday orders placed by 5 PM Eastern ship the same day. That equals 2 PM Pacific, and the 3-hour gap stays the same year-round.

How long will shipping take to New England customers?

Ground packages from the West Coast take longer to reach New England than packages from a local warehouse. Faster services are available for customers who need them, and every order is rate-shopped for the best option.

How do Boston brands send inventory to Los Angeles?

Current stock usually goes west by pallet or carton freight, received at $10 per pallet or $1.50 per mixed carton. Products made in Asia can ship directly to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Can you store supplements?

Yes. Our Los Angeles facility is FDA-registered, and we track lots and expiration dates with FEFO picking so the earliest dates ship first.

What does fulfillment cost?

Pick and pack is $1.50 per order plus $0.35 per additional item, as low as $0.50 per order at volume. Bin storage is $0.25 per day and pallet storage is $0.90 per day. Postage is separate.

Do you work with book brands and publishers?

Yes. We ship books as single titles, sets or bundles built as their own SKUs, and can supply wholesale partners like Faire from the same inventory.

Do we need to sign a long contract?

No. Matrix is month-to-month with 30 days' notice, no order minimums and $0 setup or platform fees.
