I think it's a shopping service.  You can pick which company you want.  It's not really a good because it's a not tangible product.  It's not exactly clear what the precise definition of your choices are, though.

Drop shipment or [drop shipping] is a type of retailing where the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead passes the customer's order and shipment details to the wholesaler, who then dispatches the goods to the customer directly. The retailer makes their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price.\n\nSome retailers may still keep "show" items on display in stores, so that customers can inspect an item similar to those that they can purchase. Other retailers may only provide a catalogue or Internet presence.\n\nDrop shipping can occur when a retailer (who typically sells in small quantities to the general public) receives a single large order for a product. Rather than route the shipment through the retail store, the retailer will arrange for the goods to be shipped directly to the purchaser

Are you going to TT before or after delivery?\n\nIf it is before delivery, ask yourself how much trust and confidence do you have on the seller that you will get the right type of goods that you ordered.\n\nIf it is after delivery, I think there is virtually no risk at all when your TT vide a reputable bank.

Are you refering to distribution channels? Manufacturer-->Wholesaler-->Retailer-->Consumer\n\nI think I'm forgetting one. Sometimes there is also an agent. You may also be refering to the push and pull strategies. Push is when the the Manufacturer encourages wholesalers to buy who  encourages retailers to buy who encourages Consumers to buy. Pull is when Manufacturers advertise encouraging consumers to ask retailers for a product (like drug companies telling you to ask your doctor about pill X).
