Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wholesalers who solicit orders from retailers and other wholesalers and have the merchandise shipped directly from a producer to a buyer are known as drop shippers. They do not handle the actual goods and mainly focus on taking orders and arranging delivery. Cash and carry wholesalers sell products directly from their warehouses, rack jobbers manage inventory on behalf of retailers, truck jobbers deliver goods directly to retailers, and manufacturer's representatives act as intermediaries between producers and retailers.
