It was shipped by UP*

My friend meant to send it to a collector in US for evaluation but he called back the 11 lb parcel before it ever cleared the customs. It stuck in Louiseville and back-and-forth many times between the customs and the UP* broker for 2 weeks, When the original 11 lb parcel was sent back to my friend, it became a 1 lb Purolator envelope with a box of damaged contact lens. My friend queried the UP* driver and the driver also concurred that the envelope could not be the original 11 lb parcel as it says on the return label. So my friend refused the envelope, and UP* started a tracer routine. Finally, somone senior explained to my friend that his original 11 lb parcel with the watch was wrongly sent  to a recipient in Vancouver BC who was supposed to get the contact lens. When UP* sent the same driver to collect the 11 lb parcel, the recipient denied receiving trhe 11 lb parcel ever, and the driver swore that he remembered delivering it to that recipient. The RCMP police was involved now, and I think UPS was responsible in a way as the driver or anyone in the delivering chain failed to recognise the discrepancy between the actual weight of the item and what it says on the label (i.e., 1 lb and 11 lbs). My friend thinks it is a kind of setup between the UP* people and the recipient.
