Connect using LA Sublimation Fulfillment Service
LA Sublimation fulfillment offers convenience and efficiency, saving you both time and money. As your products are produced, we’ll drop-ship orders directly to your customers, allowing you to focus on growing your brand.
When you first sign up and connect your LA Sublimation account with your Shopify storefront, we’ll automatically set up LA Sublimation as a fulfillment location and assign product weights accordingly.
Following the Shopify setup process outlined below, shipping rates are calculated by weight and vary depending on the contents of the order. These rates are based on publicly available calculations, so our charges are competitive—or often lower—thanks to any applicable discounts applied before billing. We always use the best available rate based on the destination, package weight, and delivery timeline requested by your customer.
1) SEND US YOUR INFORMATION
To help get you set up, please email us your return (or ship-from) address. This is the address where any packages returned by the postal service will be sent.
If you’d like your logo to appear on packing slips and shipping labels, please also send us your logo in JPG format. Make sure your logo meets the following specifications:
- Dimensions: 300 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall (WxH)
- Black logo on a white background for best display (no colors or gradients)
- Clear and visible brand name with minimal detail
- JPG file format only
Note: Packing slips are black & white. Red is used for instructional purposes above only.
2) SET UP SHIPPING PREFERENCES IN YOUR SHOPIFY
The next step is to set up your shipping preferences in Shopify. Shopify offers helpful support articles to guide you through this and other shipping-related topics, including:
-

Rates and methods
We recommend starting with Shopify’s standard rates and then adding a 10% buffer to account for any pricing fluctuations.
