ABSTRACT:
Method for making delivery of products more efficient, and having deliveries made that are convenient for delivery recipients. When a user (delivery recipient3) purchases a product from a vendor and applies for delivery, a management server4accepts a delivery application from a vendor client1. The management server4notifies the delivery recipient client3of the application for delivery, and prompts the user to designate delivery terms. For example, a delivery terms designation form is provided on a web page, and the URL for that web page is provided in the application for delivery notification. The delivery recipient client3accesses the web page and refers to a list of products to be delivered to him or herself. Moreover, the delivery recipient designates delivery terms when he or she is certain of his or her schedule. A delivery business is notified of these delivery terms.
