Abstract
A system and method for providing a multiple party order coordination system includes a process for providing a multiple party order coordination system whereby a given consumer, i.e., a first party, is provided the opportunity to try and combine one or more of the given consumer's product and/or service orders with one or more other consumers' product and/or service orders, i.e., with one or more other parties' product and/or service orders, into a combined multiple party order. A communication system is provided whereby the multiple parties can communicate, and/or negotiate, and/or coordinate, the merger/combination of their respective orders and establish one or more operating parameters such as, but not limited to, purchase dates, delivery dates, delivery locations, purchase price, and payment method and timing. The multiple parties' individual product and/or service orders are then merged into a single combined multiple party order that is then placed through one or more purchase systems provided by, or otherwise associated with, the process for providing a multiple party order coordination system.
