Shopping for goods and/or services by catalogue can be the most convenient method for low value home purchases. You place an order for a specific product using the telephone or email, and then the product arrives directly to your home, or to a nearby business retail outlet, where you go and pick it up. In some cases, some merchants allow goods to be shipped to a third party, in the case of sending a gift to someone living somewhere else. A mail-order catalogue, for instance, contains a selection of merchandise offered by a specific company. The companies who publish and operate mail-order catalogues are referred to as cataloguers. They buy or manufacture goods, then market these goods to their prospective customers. Many of these cataloguers are increasingly sourcing their wares from China, where it has become cheaper to manufacture goods and even ship them half way across the world to your door step, than to make them down in your city or town and drive them to your door.
These catalogues are published in the same way as any magazine and distributed usually through the mail and on the internet, which is now the most widely accepted way to order the things you want. It is also referred to as e-commerce or online shopping. Merchants will usually extend a reasonable amount of credit to online or catalogue shoppers because of their low overhead and low cost of their goods reduces their risk and makes it easier for you to buy from them.
