channel stuffing

A fraudulent practice in which a company inflates its sales revenues by enticing wholesalers and/or retailers to order more product than they realistically expect to sell in the normal course of business. This is typically accomplished through extra-deep discounts and an understanding that the unsold product can be returned at a later date.
