Why Lisbon Brands Choose Matrix

Four Reasons Lisbon 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 Portugal.

  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

    Cutoff at 10 PM Lisbon Time

    Lisbon is usually 8 hours ahead of LA, so the 2 PM Pacific cutoff lands at 10 PM your time and a full day of US orders ships the same day.

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

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 Portugal.

Your US Launch Plan

How Lisbon Brands Launch in the US With Matrix

Getting Inventory to Los Angeles

Portuguese 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 Lisbon

Lisbon is 8 hours ahead of Los Angeles for most of the year, and 7 hours 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.

  • 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 Lisbon Brands

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

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

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

What is the time difference between Lisbon and Los Angeles?

Usually 8 hours: Lisbon 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 Lisbon 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 Portugal.

Can a Lisbon startup start small in the US?

Yes. There are no order minimums and no setup fees, and terms are month-to-month with 30 days' notice. Brands from 50 to 50,000 orders a month use the same pricing structure.

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.

Can Lisbon home goods and ceramics brands ship US orders from Los Angeles?

Yes. We store home goods in bins or on pallets, pack orders in your branded boxes with your inserts and ship weekday orders placed by 2 PM Pacific the same day.
