A fulfillment center is a large warehouse that ships products for many stores. For the retailer, the advantage of a fulfillment center is that their store does not have to stock any merchandise to do business. (no risk) For the customer, the disadvantage is that your personal information such as name, address, phone number and possibly credit card number must be transfered to the fulfillment center for processing. (high risk) Your personal information can be used according to that fulfillment centers policy and that policy may not be identical, or even similar to the store at which you made the purchase.

A fulfillment centers database of customers who have purchased similar products is worth huge amounts of money to marketing companies and if you purchase from a store who uses a fulfillment center, your name could be on their list to sell.

The Internet is full of web sites that are simply "fronts" for large fulfillment centers. Most of these sites are participating in the fulfillment centers "affiliate" program and they receive a commission on every sale they generate. If you purchase from one of these sites, many times you find that there is no customer service, only finger pointing and junk mail.

We suggest that you review the privacy policy and shipping policy of any online retailer before you make a purchase. This is especially important when purchasing "adult" products, since adult online retailers are notorious for selling your personal information to mailing lists and marketing companies. If the retailer does not specifically state that they do not use fulfillment centers, you may want to consider that before making your purchase.
