Imagine coming home and finding your doorway covered by Amazon packages: hundreds of boxes you never ordered, and they all have your address but someone else's name on them.

That's what happened to Cindy Smith when Lixiao Zhang shipped 1,000 headlamps, 800 glue guns, and dozens of pairs of binoculars to her house.

She contacted Amazon, and they initially thought it was a brushing scam, where an online vendor creates fake sales in order to inflate the number of 5-star reviews.

But when Amazon dug into it, that was not the case. The merchandise was unsold items being cleared from Amazon's fulfillment centers to make space for more.

It turns out that with the current cost of International shipping, it's cheaper for a Chinese company to take a loss and dump old merchandise en masse on a random American consumer than have it shipped back to China.

A DC woman got a bunch of children's bedding, and a Californian woman got 100 portable heaters.

Amazon has banned the sellers responsible for abusive behavior.

Smith is determined not to let her headlamps, binoculars, and glue guns end up in a landfill.

"A lot of people told me I was weird," Smith said. "I would drive around with headlamps and glue guns in the car. I gave them to everybody I met."

She's right. That's pretty weird.

So, what cheap Chinese product would you wish to have 1,000s of show up at your door?

Personally, I'm crossing my fingers for computer cords. The wife says I have too many laying around, but you never know when you might need them.
