To expand and help you further into this confusing world of pipes and tubes...

You can use Transposer, filter or a wooden pipe with an engine.

The difference is that the transposer and filter is for one of the tubing system while wooden pipe is for the other type. Transposer pulls one item, filter pulls one stack. Wooden pipe depends on which engine you're using. I.e. redstone engine pulls one item.

If you use pneumatic tubes, and/or any version of it, you need a valid receiving storage while buildcraft pipes just pushes items out on the ground if there's no valid destination.
