Why Birmingham Brands Choose Matrix

Four Reasons Birmingham Brands Fulfill US Orders With Matrix

  1. 1

    Ship Like a US Brand

  2. 2

    Skip Customs on Every Order

    The US suspended duty-free de minimis entry for low-value parcels in 2025. Import in bulk, then ship each order domestically.

  3. 3

    FDA-Registered Warehouse

    Our Los Angeles facility is FDA registered and ready for cosmetics, supplement and food brands.

  4. 4

    Small Items, Scanned Every Time

  • Every unit counted in ShipHero on arrival

  • Orders sync automatically from Shopify
  • Same-day shipping by 2 PM Pacific

FAQ

US Fulfillment Questions From Birmingham Brands

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

How can a Birmingham brand sell in the USA without its own US warehouse?

Most Birmingham Shopify brands start by shipping US orders from home, but every parcel crosses customs, pays international postage and takes longer to arrive. With Matrix, you send inventory to our Los Angeles warehouse in bulk, and US orders ship domestically the same day when they're placed by 2 PM Pacific.

Why use a Los Angeles warehouse for US fulfillment?

If your products are made in Asia, they can ship from the factory to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach without routing through the UK first. LA also puts you close to California, one of the biggest DTC markets in the US.

What is the time difference between Birmingham and Los Angeles?

Usually 8 hours: Birmingham is ahead. For two to three weeks in March and about one week from late October to early November, when Europe and the US change clocks on different dates, the gap shrinks to 7 hours. Our same-day cutoff is 2 PM Pacific on weekdays, 10 PM Birmingham time on most days, and ShipHero shows your US stock and orders at any hour.

Can you fulfill US orders from my existing Shopify store?

Yes. We connect your Shopify store through ShipHero WMS, so US orders route to our Los Angeles warehouse automatically while you keep selling in the UK.

Is Matrix FDA registered?

Yes. Matrix is an FDA-registered facility, which matters for UK cosmetics, skincare, supplement and snack brands storing products in the US.

What does US fulfillment cost?

Pick and pack starts at $1.50 per order plus $0.35 per additional item, dropping as low as $0.50 per order at volume. Bin storage is $0.25 per day, there are no setup or platform fees, and everything is quoted in US dollars.

Can you pack Birmingham orders with our own branding?

Yes. We use your branded boxes, inserts and gift notes, and we can build gift sets or bundles as their own SKUs so they ship as one item from Los Angeles.

Can Birmingham accessories and beauty brands ship US orders from Los Angeles?

Yes. We store your stock in bins at $0.25 per bin per day, scan every pick in ShipHero WMS and ship weekday orders placed by 2 PM Pacific the same day, so small pieces reach US customers quickly and correctly.
