A pair of Victoria student societies are on the receiving end of what would appear to be an expensive practical joke.

Student societies at the University of Victoria and Camosun College have been receiving mysterious parcels in recent weeks, containing everything from electronic items to sex toys.

B次元官网网址淚 wouldnB次元官网网址檛 say anythingB次元官网网址檚 worth over $50 at this point, but itB次元官网网址檚 pretty substantial,B次元官网网址� said Michael Glover, Camosun Student Society services co-ordinator. B次元官网网址淲e got a turntable that plugs into USB, but none of us have any records.B次元官网网址�

He said theyB次元官网网址檝e probably received 30 or 40 items in all over the past three months or so, all coming in Amazon packaging.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檝e talked to Amazon to try and find out whatB次元官网网址檚 going on and theyB次元官网网址檙e as perplexed as we are,B次元官网网址� said Glover.

Pierre-Paul Angelblazer, UVic Student SocietyB次元官网网址檚 interim director of outreach and university relations, said they have also been receiving numerous packages for the past few weeks.

B次元官网网址淭heyB次元官网网址檙e generally fairly valuable things,B次元官网网址� he said, adding the first packages were donated to the campus food bank.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e continuing to get the packages but weB次元官网网址檙e just turning them away and having them shipped back to Amazon. WeB次元官网网址檙e not opening the boxes anymore.B次元官网网址�

Glover says Victoria schools arenB次元官网网址檛 alone in receiving the mysterious packages, as heB次元官网网址檚 heard of schools around B.C. and across the country who have been receiving them.

He said the student society hasnB次元官网网址檛 decided what to do with all of the merchandise that includes a dash cam, a pair of HDTV antennas, fishing tackle and sex toys.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檝e got about $1,000 worth of merchandise here. If theyB次元官网网址檙e sending them to 100 student unions, thatB次元官网网址檚 $100,000 [not including the shipping],B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淎mazon is winning, someone is winning, but what all this junk is for B次元官网网址� I have no idea. WeB次元官网网址檒l go fishing later? Some lucky student will win a vibrator?B次元官网网址�

Glover said the latest shipment arrived on Thursday, and the student society is just waiting for the issue to resolve itself.

B次元官网网址淔or us itB次元官网网址檚 kind of neat B次元官网网址� itB次元官网网址檚 like B次元官网网址極h, what did we get today?B次元官网网址� And if you need an HDTV antenna in black or white, weB次元官网网址檙e your guy.B次元官网网址�
