Disclosed is an image-formed product ordering system including: a first hardware processor that acquires image forming job information from an orderer terminal of an orderer of an image-formed product; an image former that generates the image-formed product by forming an image on a recording medium, based on the received image forming job information; and an ejector that ejects the image-formed product. Only a deliverer associated with the image-formed product is able to receive the image-formed product ejected from the ejector.
