Basically it is someone who "sells" cheap wares on wherever, and steals it to sell it when someone places an order. Usually on a platform like Telegram or similar.

I kept rereading the headline trying to figure out what it meant too. If it's some B*itish idiom I'm not aware of someone please enlighten me.

Like made to order. Stolen to order. Someone is paying someone else to steal it.
