We're sorry but your package was lost and/or damaged. You can contact customer support to dispute the claim.

[echoless]

omg no, we're doomed, UPS and "handle with care" doesn't mix!

[CSGDuncan]

Send it back. Or at least give it to CBC employees first

So you are concerned about someone stealing them or sabotaging them but you provide a flight pattern, departure time, couriers, and ETA's to the country.

Hope no one steals it from the doorstep. Is it armed with glitter bombs?

Give it to all the Government Officials 1st and let's see what happens.

"We are not responcible for any lost or damaged packages" read the fine print

How responsible when they are worried about theft and hacking and media is giving the name of the courier and the route....👌👌great thinking.

Interesting relationship between Monsanto and Pfizer. Enough said.

Hey CBC why do you keep blocking the video link? Seems to work fine on other

[clintonmarsh]

Use a search engine other than Google and see whats really going on in the world!

Watch out for Hobbs and Shaw. They can steal it from a flying plane

INTERCEPTION BY COVID 19 what a play!!

UPS? Seriously!?

They will either forget to pick it up. Send it to the wrong location. When the government calls UPS to find the parcel you get transferred from customer service to technical support to billing to international billing to Canadian billing to US tracking to international tracking to Canadian tracking. When the parcel arrives it will be now warm. But mostly still good from the best before expiry date.

Not that we have never dealt with UPS before.

Stick that in your arm. (side effects not included)

I wouldn't trust this under any circumstances.

The beginning of the end of the pandemic!
