Why Bristol Brands Choose Matrix

Four Reasons Bristol Brands Fulfill US Orders With Matrix

  1. 1

    Ship Like a US Brand

    US customers get domestic delivery speed and tracking instead of an international parcel from the UK.

  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

    Your Brand Story Travels Intact

    Independent brands sell on presentation. We pack US orders with your own boxes, inserts and notes, so nothing feels generic.

Faster US Delivery

Orders ship domestically from Los Angeles instead of as international parcels from the UK.

No Duties on Every Parcel

Import inventory in bulk shipments, then ship orders inside the US with no customs step for your customers.

Easier US Returns

US customers return to a US address. We inspect and restock for $2 per unit, so nothing ships back to the UK.

Retail and Wholesale Ready

Ship to US retailers like Erewhon and wholesale marketplaces like Faire, with EDI through SPS Commerce.

Your US Launch Plan

How Bristol Brands Launch in the US With Matrix

Getting Inventory to Los Angeles

UK brands send inventory by air or ocean freight, or ship straight from their manufacturer in Asia to Los Angeles.

  • Air freight into LAX
  • Ocean freight into the Ports of LA and Long Beach
  • Factory-direct shipments from Asia
  • Every unit counted in ShipHero on arrival

Running US Orders From Bristol

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.

  • Orders sync automatically from Shopify
  • Same-day shipping by 2 PM Pacific
  • Stock and orders visible in ShipHero 24/7

FAQ

US Fulfillment Questions From Bristol Brands

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

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

Most Bristol 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.

How do we work with a Los Angeles team from Bristol?

Bristol is normally 8 hours ahead of Los Angeles (7 hours 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). Your morning is our late night, so most brands handle questions in their late afternoon, when our day starts. Orders placed by 2 PM Pacific on weekdays, usually 10 PM Bristol time, ship the same day.

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 Bristol snack and food brands store products with you?

Yes. Our Los Angeles warehouse is an FDA-registered facility, and we track lots and best-by dates with FEFO picking, so older stock ships first.

Can a small Bristol brand test the US market without a big commitment?

Yes. Matrix has no order minimums, no setup or platform fees and month-to-month terms with 30 days' notice. We work with brands shipping from 50 to 50,000 orders a month on the same pricing structure.
