And it has nothing to do with dental hygiene. A brushing scheme is when an Amazon seller sends packages to random addresses. They then can rate this "sale" as a "verified buyer". The more positive ratings they have, the higher the seller appears when someone does a search for products they have for sale. The packages are sent to random people that, I guess, they get off the internet. The package will contain some cheap item or items that ship easily. It has no return address. Just the recipients name. I'm still learning about the logistics but I think the seller will hire a company that specializes in helping them improve their Amazon position. About a month ago, my wife received an Amazon box that contained several pairs of athletic pants. No one in the house ordered them. The first instinct was to check out how to return them but without a transaction number, there is no way to do it. Strange, but this was just the start of it. The next day, another package, more pants. Then the next day and the day after that and just about every day for the last 5 weeks. Sometimes two boxes in a day. As of today, we have received 145 pairs of athletic pants! They are mostly white but a few black ones and today for the first time, we got some grey ones. Mostly size medium with a few XL's thrown in for good measure. They are brand new pants in sealed plastic just like you would get if you bought them in a store. Because they are unsolicited, they belong to the recipient and are considered a gift. Most of them we have given to a couple of local charities and some of our young neighbors are sporting them on the basketball court. It has turned into a SNL skit and we try to guess how many and what color we got today. So is anyone in S&W land getting unsolicited packages? I just wish I could get on the list that sends out unsolicited boxes of primers!
