Diverting involves buying products in a region where a manufacturer offers a promotion deal and shipping them to another region to sell at full price. This practice may involve buying more than needed for the promotion deal and diverting the excess products to non-deal regions. Panic buying and hoarding refer to buying large quantities of products due to sudden fear or concern, while stockpiling and forward buying refer to purchasing and storing products in advance at a lower price for future use or resale.
