Why Cork Brands Choose Matrix

Four Reasons Cork 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 Ireland.

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

  4. 4

    Costs and Revenue in Dollars

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 Ireland.

Your US Launch Plan

How Cork Brands Launch in the US With Matrix

Getting Inventory to Los Angeles

Irish 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 Cork

Cork is 8 hours ahead of Los Angeles for most of the year. For a few weeks each spring and autumn, Ireland and the US change clocks on different dates, and the gap drops to 7 hours. The 2 PM Pacific same-day cutoff is 10 PM in Cork, or 9 PM during those weeks.

  • Orders sync automatically from Shopify
  • Same-day shipping by 2 PM Pacific
  • Stock and orders visible in ShipHero 24/7
  • A US account manager on Pacific time

FAQ

US Fulfillment Questions From Cork Brands

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

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

Most Cork 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 Ireland first. LA also puts you close to California, one of the biggest DTC markets in the US.

What is the time difference between Cork and Los Angeles?

Usually 8 hours, dropping to 7 for a few weeks in March and around early November when the two countries change clocks on different dates. The 2 PM Pacific cutoff is 10 PM in Cork, or 9 PM in those weeks.

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 Ireland.

Why work with a 3PL that prices in US dollars?

Your US revenue arrives in dollars, so dollar-denominated fulfillment costs line up with it directly. Quotes are itemized in US dollars, with no setup or platform fees.

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.

How fast can we start shipping US orders?

We onboard brands within 24 to 48 hours. Your store is connected right away, and same-day shipping starts as soon as your inventory arrives in Los Angeles and is counted.

How do Cork brands get inventory to Los Angeles?

Irish stock usually travels by air freight into LAX or by ocean freight into the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. If you manufacture in Asia, ship factory-direct and skip the trip through Ireland.
