They sell switches, knobs, pots, enclosures and more to build a signature sound. Founders Lawrence and Rebecca now embody \u201cKeep Portland Weird\u201d by running a small business out of their basement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making the Switch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The business started almost a decade ago when Lawrence discovered he could buy parts in bulk and sell them for a profit. He got the domain LoveMySwitches.com and started selling online with BigCommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They use ShipStation to power their order fulfillment operations. With their previous system, they did a lot more manual work which took a lot of time to fulfill a handful of orders. Now, they can quickly create shipping labels and automatically send data to the marketplace and customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delivering to a Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing relationships is a big part of their business. They serve a diverse community of guitar players and pedal makers all across the world. It\u2019s important to them to get their customers the cheapest and most efficient shipping options available. Before, they were limited to just one carrier and set of services. With ShipStation, they can use the best rates and services from USPS, FedEx, and UPS all in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a background in marketing, Rebecca is excited about ShipStation\u2019s branding features. She feels the Branded Tracking Page will provide a touch point between checkout and delivery, where there normally is a <!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-64cb0e84-6b5f-43ae-a17b-5a9540773c33\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-64cb0e84-6b5f-43ae-a17b-5a9540773c33\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-64cb0e84-6b5f-43ae-a17b-5a9540773c33\"><!-- [if lte IE 8]>\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/1746827\/64cb0e84-6b5f-43ae-a17b-5a9540773c33\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-64cb0e84-6b5f-43ae-a17b-5a9540773c33\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" style=\"border-width: 0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/1746827\/64cb0e84-6b5f-43ae-a17b-5a9540773c33.png\" alt=\"brand dead zone\"><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(1746827, '64cb0e84-6b5f-43ae-a17b-5a9540773c33', {}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->.

When they were first getting started with the shipping software. Their mission was to make ShipStation print out shipping labels with minimal clicks. They set automation rules to apply shipping configurations to orders upon import. With Quickship enabled, all it takes is one click to create a label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supply of Passion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lawrence records his own music in the same basement where he does all of his shipping. He\u2019s self-taught when it comes to electronics and says \u201cthere\u2019s something really special about creating your own guitar pedal.\u201d Effect pedals allow guitarist to create new sounds that allow them to create a tone that\u2019s unique to them. Love My Switches is passionate about helping musicians express themselves. They feel very blessed to be able to run a business that helps supply parts to guitar pedal enthusiasts across the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guitar pedal parts company Love My Switches sells supplies all across the world.
