Mail order is a term which describes the buying of goods or
services by mail delivery（邮递）. The buyer places an order for the
desired products with the salesman through some remote method
such as through a telephone call or a website. Then, the products are
delivered to the customer. The products are typically delivered
directly to an address supplied by the customer, such as a home
address, but sometimes the orders are delivered to a nearby retail
location for the customer to pick up. Some businessmen also allow the
goods to be shipped directly to a third customer, which is an effective
way to send a gift to an out\|of\|town friend.
A mail order catalogue（目录）is a publication including a list of
ordinary goods from a company. Companies who publish and operate
mail order catalogues are treated as cataloguers within the industry.
Goods are produced by people all over the world, such as in Australia,
the USA, Canada, China etc. And now many cataloguers,
just as with most retailers（零售商）, are increasingly buying goods
from China.
