Product distribution is how products get from a company to their customers. Sometimes people buy products at stores, but more often companies will ship the products (send them) directly to customers. To do this, companies must have a way of getting their products to customers in a timely fashion and at an affordable price. This can be done by either hiring their own drivers or finding a company that will help them with shipping. The company may also need warehouses to store the products in and then pack and ship them. Distribution is a very important part of any business and is necessary for products to reach customers.
