By the late 1800s, railroads carried goods just about everywhere, from coast to coast. In rural areas, horse-drawn carriages could still be seen, and some salesmen (they were most always men back then) used this method of transportation. But mostly, Sears (which was then called Sears Roebuck) became known for their successful mail order business. People would receive the Sears catalog, choose what they wanted, write to Sears to let the company know, and the merchandise would be mailed to them.
I have seen catalogs selling ready for assembly buildings, plans, lumber, nails etc to be shipped by rail.

There were many goods and services required in the United States during the 1800's. The goods people needed included tea, coffee, fabric, cotton, sugar, horses, leather, and more. The services required in the colonial states included plow making, horse shoes, mill services, leather tanning, furniture making, veterinarian services, medical care, and others.
The North used railroads for importing goods.

One other technological innovation that led to an increase in markets for goods manufactured in the Northeast during the early 1800s was the development of canals. Canals, such as the Erie Canal, provided a cheap and efficient mode of transportation for goods, connecting the Great Lakes to the Hudson River and enabling the movement of goods from the Midwest to the Northeast. This allowed for easier and faster trade, opening up new markets for Northeastern manufacturers.

Alvah C. Roebuck was a co-founder of Sears and Roebuck along with Richard W. Sears. He went to work for Richard Sears in 1887, and the two ended up forming the company in 1893. Roebuck took charge of the heavily technological division of the company, that sold optical goods, watches, phonographs, and more.

By mail. Sears Roebuck and Co. Published a catalog each year, with everything form clothing to jewelry to tools to furniture to medicine to food to guns to... well, you name it, if it existed, Sears sold it. People ordered by mail, and Sears mailed or shipped their products back to them. Sort of like Amazon without the computer. By the way, check your library and see if they can get you a copy of the Sears 1898 catalog. It has been reprinted in a hardcover version- fascinating to look at what you could buy.
