In a Salam contract, after agreeing with the buyer and receiving the capital for the Salam, is it permissible for the seller to authorize another person or the product manufacturer to send the product directly to the buyer, without the seller taking possession of the product himself, by sending the funds and the buyer's address to the authorized party, knowing that the product is not food and this arrangement was not mentioned to the buyer?

We understand from the question that the seller in a salam contract buys the described commodity from another (a factory or a merchant) and authorizes this second seller to deliver the sold item to the first buyer at the agreed-upon time. There is no harm in this, and it is not selling before possession. Rather, it is the fulfillment of a right established as a debt, and it falls under parallel salam.
