An order is placed by a purchaser at a client system and received by a server system. The server system receives purchaser information including identification of the purchaser, payment information, and shipment information from the client system. The server system then assigns a client identifier to the client system and associates the assigned client identifier with the received purchaser information. The server system sends to the client system the assigned client identifier. The client system receives and stores the assigned client identifier. In response to an order indication, the client system sends to the server system a request to purchase the identified item. The server system receives the request and combines at least one previous purchase associated with the client identifier of the client system to generate a single order for billing and shipment.

1. A computer-implemented method in a client system for ordering items, the method comprising: receiving, from a server system, by a computer of a client system a client identifier of the client system;persistently storing the client identifier at the client system; andfor each item of a plurality of items: providing for display, at the client system, information identifying the item and an indication of a single action that is to be performed to place an order of the identified item, wherein the single action is an only action required by the client system to complete the order of the identified item without requiring the client system to confirm the order following performance of the single action; andin response to the single action being performed, sending to the server system a request to order the identified item and the client identifier, the request to order being a single-action order request indicated by the single action and the client identifier identifying account information of a user;wherein the sending causes the server system to determine how to combine and to combine into a single order the single-action order request indicated by the single action and one or more previous single-action order requests associated with the client identifier. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the single order includes single-action order requests placed within a certain time interval of each other. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the single order includes single-action order requests placed within a time interval of 90 minutes of other single-action orders. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the single order includes combining single-action order requests based on availability of the items. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the availability of items is categorized as short-term or long-term, wherein short-term corresponds to orders available to be shipped in less than one week from the request to order and long-term corresponds to orders available to be shipped in more than one week from the request to order. 6. The method of claim 4 wherein the availability is categorized as short-term or long-term, wherein short-term corresponds to orders in inventory and available to be shipped upon sending of the request to order and long-term corresponds to orders not available to be shipped upon sending of the request to order. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the client system and the server system communicate via the Internet. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the single action is clicking a mouse button for a cursor positioned over a predefined area of the displayed information. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein providing for display includes providing partial information supplied by the server system corresponding to the identity of the user of the client system. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein providing for display includes providing partial shipping information supplied by the server system. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein providing for display includes providing partial payment information supplied by the server system. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the single order further comprises one or more additional orders associated with the client identifier of the client system. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the single order includes sibling single-action order requests corresponding to orders with a common destination. 14. A computer-implemented method in a server system for receiving item orders, the method comprising: transmitting, from a server system, to a computer of a client system a client identifier of the client system for persistent storage at the client system;for each item of a plurality of items: providing for display, at the client system, information identifying the item and an indication of a single action that is to be performed to place an order of the identified item, wherein the single action is an only action required by the client system to complete the order of the identified item without requiring the client system to confirm the order following performance of the single action; andreceiving, in response to the single action being performed at the client system, a request to order the identified item and the client identifier, the request to order being a single-action order request indicated by the single action and the client identifier identifying account information of a user; anddetermining how to combine and combining, at the server system, into a single order the single action order request indicated by the single action and one or more previous single-action order requests associated with the client identifier in response to receiving the single-action order request. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the combining into the single order includes combining single-action order requests received at the server system within a certain time interval of each other. 16. The method of claim 14 wherein the combining into the single order includes combining single-action order requests received at the server system within a time interval of 90 minutes of each other. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the combining into the single order includes combining single-action order requests based on availability of the items. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the availability of items is categorized as short-term or long-term, wherein short-term corresponds to orders available to be shipped in less than one week from the request to order and long-term corresponds to orders available to be shipped in more than one week from the request to order. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the availability is categorized as short-term, or long-term, wherein short-term corresponds to orders in inventory and available to be shipped upon sending of the request to order and long-term corresponds to orders not available to be shipped upon sending of the request to order. 20. The method of claim 14, wherein the client system and the server system communicate via the Internet. 21. The method of claim 14, wherein the single action is receiving a notification of a performance corresponding to clicking a mouse button for a cursor positioned over a predefined area of the displayed information. 22. The method of claim 14, wherein the single order further comprises one or more additional orders associated with the client identifier of the client system. 23. The method of claim 14, wherein the single order combines sibling single-action order requests corresponding to orders with a common destination. 24. The method of claim 14, wherein the combining into the single order further comprises: combining at a first stage those of the single-action order request indicated by the single action and the one or more previous single-action order requests in which all items are available for shipping into one or more groups of sibling orders for delivery to a common destination; andcombining at a second stage those of the single-action order request indicated by the single action and the one or more previous single-action order requests in which not all items are available for shipping into one or more groups of sibling orders for later delivery. 25. The method of claim 1, wherein, following performance of the single action, the user is provided a limited period of time during which he can still perform a second action to cancel the order. 26. The method of claim 14, wherein the server system does not transmit over the internet any sensitive information of the user or the client system. 27. The method of claim 1, wherein the client system receives a confirmation that confirms that the order has been placed via the single-action order request and provides an opportunity for the user to review and change the order that was placed. 28.
