I guarantee you they aren't "fake" shipping.  In order to that, they would have to put companies down for shipments they didn't ask for, which will get them in enormous trouble.  I mean, it's possible but since MS knows they are under scrutiny from outside due to their size, I doubt anyone in the company would risk that.

i meant specifically 'shipping' to retailers. What would shipping over sea to storage be called?

Oh you mean like moving the assets internally from one warehouse near the manufacturing house to another MS warehouse.  That really wouldn't be anything to report.  Shipments refers to actual sale of assets from MS to some third party distributor, that's what gets reported.  There have been cases of companies moving product to a warehouse, putting a company down for the shipment until the end of the quarter, then canceling the shipment as a "mistake" after the quarterly report was already out in order to inflate sales.  But that's illegal.
