I have bought many items from dealers that have been shipped direct from the manufacturer. It’s called drop shipping. I prefer that method, it saves time and the shipping cost!!
Drop shipping is a form of retail business in which the seller accepts customer orders without keeping stock on hand. Instead, in a form of supply chain management, the seller transfers the orders and their shipment details either to the manufacturer, a wholesaler, another retailer, or a fulfillment house, which then ships the goods directly to the customer.
