FinerWorks offers FREE order fulfillment in the form of white label (drop shipping) for artists and photographers who want prints shipped under their name or brand.
This brief guide is meant to highlight those features we offer at FinerWorks for artists and photographers who use us as their order fulfillment service. At FinerWorks, we believe providing reliable order fulfillment must be simple. In addition, we want artists and photographers to be confident that their customers will receive the prints exactly as intended. There is no application process, and it does not take any special knowledge or technical expertise. If you know how to access photos or image files off your computer and use the Internet, your basic requirements have been met. If you have used FinerWorks before for online ordering, this guide will help you make sure you have not overlooked some of the tools we offer.
What is Drop Shipping?
One of the first things we did when we built our initial ordering system over a decade ago was provide an automatic drop shipping option. Drop shipping simply means you do not need to carry any inventory or worry about packaging and shipping. You commission the drop shipper (which would be FinerWorks) to send the order to your customers, but branded under your name, so it looks like you or your company shipped it.
Many big online companies rely on this method either solely or to let them ship products that they normally would not be able to inventory. Amazon.com uses this method for some of the items sold, and at the individual level, eBay and Etsy sellers use this method all the time.
How it Works
At checkout in the area where you select your “Shipping Method,” there will be a check box you can click to indicate you want it drop-shipped. If you provide a valid address in your account’s business profile, we will automatically check this for you. The order is then shipped and made to look like you are the sender. No information about us will be included. Prices will also be removed from the packing slip.
Some Examples
Mugs
We have built in volume & bulk discounts that will cover most scenarios; however, if the scope and size of the order is not listed when checking pricing, please contact us with the details of what you want to order and the time frame so that we can work out the fulfillment and pricing of the order.
Most people order online via our website’s Print Online Setup Tool. Using this method, you will upload your image file(s), select the product type, styles, and size of print you want, then add the item to your shopping cart.
Some businesses that use us may have their websites connected to us, either through our Order Fulfillment App or one of our legacy integrations, which allow for batch order submissions.
FinerWorks is unable to accept orders by phone or email.
Yes, they are; however, for the maximum life of the imaged product, we recommend hand washing.
We strive for excellent color accuracy, but some slight variation may occur due to the differences between screen and print, especially with sublimation. You can order a sample mug if you’re concerned about precise color matching, especially before you place any large bulk orders.
Nope! You can order just one or as many as you need. Whether you’re creating a custom gift, testing a new design, or fulfilling an order for your online store, we’ve got you covered.
However, you can likely save when ordering in bulk since many of our products have built in volume discounts.
Production typically takes 1–3 business days. This is just an average and may take longer during busy seasons, such as around the holidays or when inventory is being replenished. Shipping times vary by location, but we offer standard and expedited shipping options to meet your needs.
We take great care in packaging, but if your mug is damaged during shipping, we’ll replace it at no cost. Just contact us with a photo of the damage and your order number.
Dye-sublimated mugs are perfect for:
- Photographers offering personalized gifts
- Brands and businesses using logo mugs for promotion
- Gift givers looking for unique custom items
We use professional dye-sublimation equipment and blank mugs specifically coated for vibrant and lasting results. Unlike at-home kits or DIY options, our process ensures consistent quality, scalability, and fulfillment services—especially valuable if you’re selling online.
