It is about the phrasal verb sent away for sth. Sorry if this is a silly question. I just learned that you say you sent away for something when you write and ask for it to be posted to you. In our era we buy so many things online so I was wondering if you can use sent away if you email the company instead of writing an actual letter. If not what are the expressions that mean you ordered a product online. Thanks in advance!

I can't see why you shouldn't use this term for email orders & online purchases, but I think I have not heard anyone do so. I ordered it online. I ordered it by email. I suspect not so many order by email, as email is not secure. I bought it online.
