Essentially, it's where you have some performance mods done and list them on a sheet of paper, which you 'mail' along with your PCM to some tuner. Then they 'mail' your PCM back to you to be re-installed.
It's an "in the ballpark" sort of tune.......not quite as good as if the vehicle was right there and could be run on a dyno to allow some 'fine-tuning'.....but better than no tune at all.

I would suggest just getting a dyno tune rather than doing a mail order tune.
