    APL offers both manifested and unmanifested pallets and truckloads.

    In the case of unmanifested pallets and truckloads, we will do our best to describe the mix of products, provide many pictures and a detailed description, but APL does not inspect or go through these pallets in detail making it impossible to have a list of all items contained on the pallet or truckload.

  • What are Customer Returns?

    Customer returns are items that have been purchased either from a brick and mortar store location or an online/ecommerce marketplace.  The condition of these items varies greatly based on the retailers specific return policy.  The more strict the return policy the better the quality of returned merchandise (typically but not always).  The merchandise contained in a customer return lot or truckload is not always 100% customer returns.  Often times retailers mix overstock, seasonal, shelf pull and new merchandise in with returned merchandise.  Customer returns are not for everyone as these lots and truckloads require processing, testing and minor repairs of the merchandise to maximize your profit.

  • Is there a warranty on the items?

    All customer return goods are always sold with no warranty or guarantee. Any warranties found with the goods are invalid and cannot legally be used. For most lots and truckloads the buyers is required to deface UPC bar codes and remove stickers form the merchandise before reselling.

  • What condition are the items in?

    This depends on the type of lot or truckload you purchase.  Overstock and shelf pull lots will contain less than 5% damage.  Customer returns will typically have a mixture of items in various conditions and damage rates vary based on the retailers specific return policy.
