mail-order business
A mail-order business sells products directly to customers through catalogs, phone orders, or online platforms, then ships the items to their homes. Customers browse the catalog or website, place an order, and the company processes it, packaging the product for delivery. This model allows shoppers to purchase a wide range of goods without visiting a physical store, often offering convenience and access to products that may not be locally available. Mail-order businesses have evolved with technology, now primarily operating online, but the core idea remains delivering products directly from seller to customer via mail or shipping services.
