Why Bristol Brands Choose Matrix
US customers get domestic delivery speed and tracking instead of an international parcel from the UK.
The US suspended duty-free de minimis entry for low-value parcels in 2025. Import in bulk, then ship each order domestically.
Our Los Angeles facility is FDA registered and ready for cosmetics, supplement and food brands.
Independent brands sell on presentation. We pack US orders with your own boxes, inserts and notes, so nothing feels generic.

Benefits
Orders ship domestically from Los Angeles instead of as international parcels from the UK.
Import inventory in bulk shipments, then ship orders inside the US with no customs step for your customers.
US customers return to a US address. We inspect and restock for $2 per unit, so nothing ships back to the UK.
Connect your Shopify store and TikTok Shop US, with inventory synced in real time through ShipHero WMS.
Ship to US retailers like Erewhon and wholesale marketplaces like Faire, with EDI through SPS Commerce.
Test the US with a small first shipment. There are no order minimums and terms are month-to-month with 30 days' notice.
Your US Launch Plan
UK brands send inventory by air or ocean freight, or ship straight from their manufacturer in Asia to Los Angeles.
Bristol sits 8 hours ahead of Los Angeles, or 7 hours during 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. Anything ordered by 2 PM Pacific on a weekday, normally 10 PM in Bristol, ships from Los Angeles that day, and your account manager is reachable during the overlap with your afternoon.
