Benefits

What Osaka Brands Get With a US Warehouse

Faster US Delivery

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

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 Japan.

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.

Air Freight From Kansai

Urgent restocks can fly from Kansai into LAX, close to our warehouse, while regular stock comes by ocean.

Your US Launch Plan

How Osaka Brands Launch in the US With Matrix

Getting Inventory to Los Angeles

Japanese 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 across Asia
  • Every unit counted in ShipHero on arrival

Running US Orders From Osaka

Osaka is 16 to 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles: 16 hours while the US is on daylight saving time, 17 hours from early November to mid-March. US orders placed by 2 PM Pacific on weekdays, 6 AM or 7 AM the next morning in Osaka, ship that same US day, so your US fulfillment runs while your office is closed.

  • 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 Osaka Brands

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

How can an Osaka brand sell in the USA without its own US warehouse?

Most Osaka 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 Japan 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.

Is the time difference between Osaka and Los Angeles a problem?

It usually works in your favor. Osaka is 16 or 17 hours ahead depending on US daylight saving, so orders placed by 2 PM Pacific (6 AM or 7 AM next morning in Osaka) ship while you sleep. Your account manager replies during the overlap with your early morning, and ShipHero shows stock and orders around the clock.

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 Japan.

How do Osaka brands send inventory to Los Angeles?

Regular stock usually crosses the Pacific by ocean into the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Urgent restocks can go by air freight into LAX. We count every unit when it arrives.

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 Osaka snack and food brands ship US orders from Los Angeles?

Yes. Our Los Angeles facility is FDA registered, and we track lots and best-by dates with FEFO picking. Weekday orders placed by 2 PM Pacific ship the same day.
