A bassline drops, fog rolls across the stage, and confetti cannons around the venue fire at once. Across the arena, 40,000 phones go up to catch it on video. Nobody in that crowd is thinking about a warehouse. But somewhere back home, packed in foam and taped shut, that exact moment started as a shipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind experiences like these, you\u2019ll find <a href=\"http:\/\/magicfx.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Magic FX<\/a>. The company&#8217;s walls are covered in photos of moments just like it: crowds mid-roar, arms in the air, the second a show became unforgettable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We try to make unforgettable moments,\u201d said Nick Guggisberg, Magic FX\u2019s operations manager. &#8220;It&#8217;s really cool to see both the products in action, but more the reaction of the people in the crowd. That&#8217;s what really gets us going.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magic FX, based in San Luis Obispo, California, makes the special effects equipment behind those spectacles: confetti cannons, smoke cannons, CO2 jets, and handheld gear for artists on stage. Its customers are production companies that run concerts, club installs, and sports team game-day experiences. A handful of artists and teams buy directly, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through 2025, the company operated as Club Cannon. Then came a merger that reshaped the business, and with it, Magic FX&#8217;s shipping needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipstation-freight-1024x576.png\" alt=\"magic fx shipstation freight\" class=\"wp-image-101357\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipstation-freight-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipstation-freight-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipstation-freight-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipstation-freight-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipstation-freight-scaled.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-when-ltl-freight-entered-the-mix\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When LTL freight entered the mix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Club Cannon&#8217;s shipping was mostly parcel: smaller products in boxes. Magic FX&#8217;s equipment is often built for stadiums and arenas, and that shifted the math. About 20% of what Magic FX ships now goes out as freight instead of parcel, and the merger added a consumables business\u2014fluids, streamers, confetti\u2014that moves constantly and in volume. On a given day, Guggisberg&#8217;s team handles 30 to 50 parcels and five to six pallets, in an industry where, as he put it, &#8220;everything is needed yesterday.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The products demand care in transit, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We take great care in our packaging to make sure that it looks exactly the same when it arrives at the customer as when it leaves our warehouse,&#8221; Guggisberg said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magic FX sits at the high end of its market, and the unboxing experience is part of the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ShipStation was already their trusted platform for parcel. Freight was the part that didn&#8217;t fit yet. Before less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping came to ShipStation, freight meant working outside the platform entirely. That meant juggling third-party logistics providers, maintaining direct relationships with freight carriers, and working around an ERP that took three or four extra steps to bridge the two systems\u2014all separate from the parcel side of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;d say on average I have 35 tabs open on my web browser, so anytime I can lose one tab, that&#8217;s a huge victory,&#8221; Guggisberg said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-an-easy-yes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">An easy yes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magic FX was already a committed ShipStation user for parcel, so when the chance to start <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/fulfillment\/shipping\/ltl-freight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shipping LTL freight in ShipStation<\/a> presented itself, Guggisberg didn&#8217;t hesitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-shipstation-testimonial block not-prose\">\n    <div class=\"\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n                        <div class=\"testimonial-contained-bg bg-cobalt-lightest\">\n            \n                            <div class=\"testimonial-stack\">\n                                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item testimonial-item--align-left testimonial-item--quote-large testimonial-item--pos-side testimonial-item--img-quote\">\n                            <div class=\"testimonial-item__quote-mark\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span><\/span><\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"testimonial-item__content\">\n                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item__quote\">\n                        <p>When I heard about LTL shipping in ShipStation, I was kind of banging down the door, to be honest. It was an easy yes. My relationship with ShipStation is a very tight one\u2014I spend a lot of time with it, so as soon as I found out that that was available, I wanted it immediately.&#8221;<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                \n                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item__attribution\">\n                                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item__person\">Nick Guggisberg \u2014 Operations Manager<\/div>\n                                                                            <div class=\"testimonial-item__business\">Magic FX<\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                \n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n            \n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-one-platform-start-to-finish\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">One platform, start to finish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the freight workflow starts as early as the quote. Guggisberg uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/fulfillment\/shipping\/rate-shopper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ShipStation&#8217;s rate tool<\/a> to price shipping before an order is confirmed, then books the freight in the same system once it&#8217;s palletized and ready to go, weights and dimensions included. Bills of lading and pallet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/fulfillment\/automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">labels are automatically generated<\/a> and printed through ShipStation, reducing the manual work involved in preparing freight documentation. The platform also helps streamline freight classification, including the National Motor Freight Classification (NMFC) codes used for LTL shipments.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It was an absolute nightmare when we had to make bills of lading manually,&#8221; Guggisberg said. &#8220;Not that it&#8217;s hard, it&#8217;s just time-consuming and tedious.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The time savings add up: about 5 minutes per shipment, modest on its own, but not across a week of 8, 15, or more pallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-shipstation-testimonial block not-prose\">\n    <div class=\"\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n                        <div class=\"testimonial-contained-bg bg-cobalt-lightest\">\n            \n                            <div class=\"testimonial-stack\">\n                                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item testimonial-item--align-left testimonial-item--quote-large testimonial-item--pos-side testimonial-item--img-quote\">\n                            <div class=\"testimonial-item__quote-mark\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span><\/span><\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"testimonial-item__content\">\n                                    <div class=\"testimonial-item__quote\">\n                        <p>Over the course of a week, our time saved by having LTL in ShipStation adds up to hours.

LTL shipping opened up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/partners\/?country=all&amp;integrations=carriers\">new carrier relationships<\/a>, too, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/partners\/aaa-cooper-transportation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AAA Cooper Transportation<\/a> for lanes Magic FX ships often, like Las Vegas, at rates about $45 cheaper per shipment. At roughly eight pallets a week to Las Vegas alone, that&#8217;s about $1,200 a month back in the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipping-platform-1024x555.png\" alt=\"magic fx shipping platform\" class=\"wp-image-101361\" style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipping-platform-1024x555.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipping-platform-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipping-platform-1536x833.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipping-platform-2048x1110.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/magic-fx-shipping-platform-scaled.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-simple-enough-to-hand-off\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simple enough to hand off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magic FX is training a new shipping and logistics hire, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shipstation.com\/fulfillment\/shipping\/ltl-freight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">having freight and parcel in one platform<\/a> makes that job easier.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It simplifies it for this new employee that we&#8217;re training,&#8221; Guggisberg said. &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to teach them how to use several different websites or softwares\u2014it&#8217;s just all in one place.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Guggisberg, the impact is easy to sum up: &#8220;It went from being a little chaotic and scattered to just being streamlined and simple.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That reliability matters to a company that can&#8217;t afford a dropped shipment on show day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We can always rely on ShipStation,&#8221; Guggisberg said. &#8220;It has never failed us, even when things get really chaotic.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section\tclass=\"wp-block-shipstation-stats block not-prose padding-top--md padding-bottom--md\">\n\t<div class=\"content--lg\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container not-prose\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"stats-grid stats-grid--bar\"\n\tstyle=\"--stats-cols-mobile: 1; --stats-cols-desktop: 3;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"stat-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"stat-number countup\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-countup-value=\"3\"\n\t\tdata-countup-duration=\"2000\"\n\t\tdata-countup-prefix=\"\"\n\t\tdata-countup-suffix=\"\"\n\t\t><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"stat-label\">hours saved a week on freight booking + 5 minutes per shipment<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"stat-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"stat-number countup\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-countup-value=\"1200\"\n\t\tdata-countup-duration=\"2000\"\n\t\tdata-countup-prefix=\"~$\"\n\t\tdata-countup-suffix=\"\"\n\t\t><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"stat-label\">a month in savings on freight to Las Vegas via new carrier options<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"stat-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"stat-number countup\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-countup-value=\"40\"\n\t\tdata-countup-duration=\"2000\"\n\t\tdata-countup-prefix=\"~\"\n\t\tdata-countup-suffix=\"\"\n\t\t><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"stat-label\">parcels and 5-6 pallets per day managed from one platform<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-s-next-for-magic-fx\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s next for Magic FX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magic FX is chasing something bigger: staying the top name in special effects manufacturing, worldwide.
