reshipping

Forwarding received packages

Reshipping is sending goods onward to a different destination after receiving them.

The term appears in logistics and e-commerce, but also in fraud schemes where criminals recruit people to receive stolen merchandise and forward it elsewhere, obscuring the trail: He didn't realize the reshipping job was a scam until police showed up.
