Description

  The present invention relates to a merchandise ordering and delivery system suitable for merchandise in which it is difficult for each retail store at the end to secure a sufficient assortment of goods because the number of items is very large.

  For example, pet products, such as pet goods, and products that have a very large number of items or products with a relatively short life cycle, where new products are frequently launched, end product lineup It is impossible in reality because of the size of the store and other relationships, only stock representative products are in stock, and other products are ordered based on negotiations with customers etc. In general, sales methods are ordered from wholesalers, but in recent years, non-store retail sales methods using websites on the Internet are also spreading. In other words, as it is clear without disclosing patent documents etc., retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, etc. have opened websites on the Internet, accepting orders from end users using this website, There is known an internet-based non-store sales system that delivers ordered products to the orderer.
