The management servernotifies the delivery recipient clientof the application for delivery, and prompts the user to designate delivery terms. For example, a delivery terms designation form is provided on a web page, and the URL for that web page is provided in the application for delivery notification. The delivery recipient clientaccesses the web page and refers to a list of products to be delivered to him or herself.
