Why Winnipeg Brands Choose Matrix

Four Reasons Winnipeg 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 Canada.

  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

    A Prairie Freight Hub

    Winnipeg is a major trucking and rail hub for central Canada, so palletized restocks to Los Angeles are routine freight.

Your US Launch Plan

How Winnipeg Brands Launch in the US With Matrix

Getting Inventory to Los Angeles

Canadian brands usually send inventory by truck across the border or ship direct from their factory to Los Angeles.

  • Cross-border truck freight to Los Angeles
  • Factory-direct ocean freight from Asia
  • Every unit counted in ShipHero on arrival
  • Restocks planned with your account manager

Running US Orders From Winnipeg

Winnipeg is on Central time and Los Angeles on Pacific time, and both observe daylight saving on the same dates, so Winnipeg is always 2 hours ahead. Orders placed by 2 PM Pacific, or 4 PM in Winnipeg, ship the same weekday.

  • 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 Winnipeg Brands

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

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

Most Winnipeg 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?

Los Angeles puts your stock on the West Coast, where goods made in Asia land at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Ship factory-direct to us and your US inventory never has to route through Canada.

How does Central time line up with a Los Angeles warehouse?

Winnipeg is 2 hours ahead of Los Angeles all year, so the 2 PM Pacific same-day cutoff is 4 PM your time. Most of your working day overlaps ours, and stock and orders are visible in ShipHero 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 Canada.

Can Winnipeg food brands use your warehouse?

Yes. Matrix is an FDA-registered facility, and lot tracking with FEFO picking ships the earliest best-by dates first, which suits shelf-stable snacks and pantry goods.

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 Winnipeg brands ship inventory to Los Angeles?

Most consolidate stock onto pallets and send it by cross-border truck. Brands that manufacture in Asia can also ship straight from the factory to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Either way, every unit is counted in ShipHero when it arrives.
