direct shipping
Factory-to-door delivery
Direct shipping is the delivery of goods straight from manufacturer or producer to consumer, bypassing traditional retail channels.
The term appears frequently in wine commerce, where direct shipping laws vary by state and determine whether wineries can ship to customers' homes.
In e-commerce, direct shipping often means the seller never handles inventory—orders go directly from supplier to buyer.
