From what I understand, it's a play around the Amazon Inventory Storage fees ([1], [2]), which normally are $0.75 per cubic foot monthly, but grow to $6.90 per cubic foot, if stored for more than a year and not sold.
It's possible to ask Amazon to remove selected items from their warehouse and send to any US address for a somewhat reasonable fee of around $0.32/item ([3]).
What happens here is the Chinese sellers send packages to the residents of the house, and then relist items under a different account, so that the counter is reset and the Amazon storage fees are low again.
That said, the residents of the house run a subpar operation.
That would pretty much explain it. Thanks for taking the time to link it together. Suppose this is a situation of "Don't hate the player, hate the game."
