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（
