UK Mail, formerly known as Business Post, is a postal service company operating in the United Kingdom, which has competed with the Royal Mail in collection and distribution of mail since the deregulation of the postal service in January 2006.

Its distribution network delivers mail to local Royal Mail sorting offices for last mile delivery through downstream access.

Mail order is the buying of goods or services by mail delivery.

The buyer places an order for the desired products with the merchant through some remote method such as through a telephone call or web site.

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 occasionally the orders are delivered to a nearby retail location for the customer to pick up.

Some merchants also allow the goods to be shipped directly to a third party consumer, which is an effective way to send a gift to an out-of-town recipient.

Delivery is the process of transporting goods from a source location to a predefined destination.

There are different delivery types.

Cargo (physical goods) are primarily delivered via roads and railroads on land, shipping lanes on the sea and airline networks in the air.

Certain specialized goods may be delivered via other networks, such as pipelines for liquid goods, power grids for electrical power and computer networks such as the Internet or broadcast networks for electronic information.

Express mail is an accelerated mail delivery service for which the customer pays a surcharge and receives faster delivery.

Express mail is a service for domestic and international mail and is in most countries governed by a country's own postal administration.

Since 1998, the international accelerated delivery services are governed by the EMS Cooperative.

Logistics is generally the detailed organization and implementation of a complex operation.

In a general business sense, logistics is the management of the flow of things between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet requirements of customers or corporations.

The resources managed in logistics can include physical items such as food, materials, animals, equipment, and liquids; as well as intangible items, such as time and information.

The logistics of physical items usually involves the integration of information flow, materials handling, production, packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security.
