So, that begs the question of why these esteemed 40-store business owners didn't just deal with Apumac. And save $20K in the process.
Edit: and please explain that $900/mo holding fee. $160K (well, $140K or whatever) of Apple iPads is, what, several hundred boxes, tops? Why is that $900/mo? And why hand them over to UPS instead of just keeping them until they're ready to be shipped?
I'm glad they cleared that up, even if their grasp of the language is a bit tenuous.
That's a lot of hours for someone who just sold their identity to a security guard.
They have their own business model and everything...

They can't all go to one address. So UPS is holding them for him and should supposedly work with him until they're ready to enter the shipping process. The $900 fee is that holding fee, per month, of all the pallets.
I don't think he gave his ID...
I got a post card in the mail yesterday stating that I had won 2 tickets to anywhere in the US and all I had to do was call and claim my prize.
I promptly disposed of the post card.
If it sounds to good to be true, IT IS.
I don't know how you can sit idly by and wait for your brother to be arrested and eventually sentenced to prison at worst, or out thousands of dollars at best.

There are 4 pallets, each of which has, what, 50 or so iPad boxes on it (and so they are not all that big), and they are charging $225/month per pallet? That makes no sense.
Neither does ordering the stuff before you're ready to ship it.
Why didn't you just ship it to your house and that of a friend, then hold onto them until it's time to send them over?
Of course, this is all within the fantasy world in which any of this makes any sense whatsoever.
He hates his brother for stealing half of his parents' time and resources. "Moo ha ha," he thinks.
It is unlikely that Apumac would have invested the tens of hours necessary to locate the plug adapters. That alone is worth close to $20K.
Would you list out all the details that incorporate the grand total, from start to finish?
I have no idea. It's just what he tells me. Piecing it together, calls to Apple and UPS, getting adapters, product shipped (that's probably the longest part) all contribute towards it.
Ask him to to do it, send it to you and post it here. Or get him to come online and post it himself.
According to Apumac's website FAQ, they're not an authorized reseller, and they're not getting their product directly from Apple in any event......so why do do the 4, or is it 8, pallets have to go to your brother's address? Or rather "his" addresses?
Do you and your brother still live with your parents? Or is he living somewhere else? What do your parents think about all this, or are they even aware of the situation?
Was a place a lot like your description in So. Cal. they used to have a dozen locations and are down to 6 or so. http://www.prestopasta.com

What exactly is entailed in "shipping products", since presumably, so far, Apple has shipped the palettes here to the U.S. and they are sitting in a UPS holding facility.
