Why Hobart Brands Choose Matrix

Four Reasons Hobart 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 Australia.

  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

    Across Bass Strait Once

    Tasmanian stock already crosses Bass Strait to reach the world. Send it to Los Angeles in bulk once instead of shipping every US parcel from the island.

Benefits

What Hobart Brands Get With a US Warehouse

Faster US Delivery

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

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 Australia.

Shopify and TikTok Shop US

Connect your Shopify store and TikTok Shop US, with inventory synced in real time through ShipHero WMS.

Retail and Wholesale Ready

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

Your Packaging, Packed in LA

Branded boxes, inserts and gift notes travel with your stock, so US orders still feel unmistakably Tasmanian.

Your US Launch Plan

How Hobart Brands Launch in the US With Matrix

Getting Inventory to Los Angeles

Australian brands usually ship by ocean across the Pacific or by air for urgent restocks. Both routes land close to our warehouse.

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

Running US Orders From Hobart

Tasmania changes clocks on different dates from California, so Hobart is 17 to 19 hours ahead of Los Angeles: 17 hours from April to early October, 18 hours in the weeks around each switch, and 19 hours from November to March. The 2 PM Pacific same-day cutoff falls between 7 AM and 9 AM the next morning in Hobart.

  • 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 Hobart Brands

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

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

Most Hobart 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?

Freight from Australia crosses the Pacific and lands at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the largest port complex in the US and close to our warehouse. An East Coast warehouse adds a cross-country leg before your stock is even on the shelf.

What is the time difference between Hobart and Los Angeles?

Hobart is 17 to 19 hours ahead of Los Angeles, depending on the season. Orders placed by 2 PM Pacific, which is between 7 AM and 9 AM the next morning in Hobart, ship the same weekday.

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 Australia.

Is Matrix FDA registered?

Yes. Matrix is an FDA-registered facility, which matters for Australian 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 keep our Tasmanian branding on US orders?

Yes. We pack with your branded boxes, inserts and gift notes, and build gift sets as their own SKUs, so US customers get the same unboxing as customers at home.

How do Hobart brands get inventory to Los Angeles?

Stock from Tasmania typically crosses Bass Strait to a mainland port, then travels by ocean freight across the Pacific to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Air freight into LAX suits urgent restocks.
