A system and method of handling purchased goods, are disclosed. The system of handling purchased goods includes a graphical user interface that provides a user at least one fictitious mailing address and access to at least one vendor and a distribution center correspondent to the fictitious mailing address, where the user orders goods from the at least one vendor, and where the goods are consolidated at the distribution center for provision to, and return by, the user.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented system comprising at least one computerized memory communicatively associated with at least one processor programmed for providing for the handling purchased goods, comprising:

a graphical user interface that provides a user at least one fictitious mailing address and access to at least one vendor; and

a distribution center correspondent to said fictitious mailing address;

wherein the user orders goods from the at least one vendor, and wherein the goods are consolidated at least at said distribution center for provision to, and return by, the user.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising a box store for receiving the consolidated purchased goods from the distribution center and arranging the purchased goods for provision to the user in an arranged fashion.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising the step of providing a recommendation engine, wherein unpurchased goods are suggested for inclusion with the purchased goods based on user attributes.

6. A method of handling purchased goods, comprising the steps of:

providing a computer-implemented system comprising at least one computerized memory communicatively associated with at least one processor programmed for providing access to a graphical user interface;

providing a user at least one fictitious mailing address and access to at least one vendor through said graphical user interface; and

providing access to a distribution center correspondent to said fictitious mailing address;

wherein the user orders goods from the at least one vendor, and wherein the goods are consolidated at least at said distribution center for provision to, and return by, the user.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein payment for the goods is made after receipt of the goods by the user.

11. A computer-implemented system comprising at least one computerized memory communicatively associated with at least one processor programmed for providing for the handling purchased goods, comprising:

a graphical user interface that provides a user at least one fictitious mailing address and access to at least one vendor; and

a means for distribution correspondent to said fictitious mailing address;

wherein the user orders goods from the at least one vendor, and wherein the goods are consolidated at least by said means for distribution for provision to, and return by, the user.
