Did you order from Apple?
 
There are restrictions on how devices with lithium batteries get handled, so maybe that has something to do with the "dangerous goods" warning.
 
Hello again. Thanks for info. I talked to both ups and Apple. They had no further info except that the parcel was stopped at us customs. Never made it over the border to Canada.

so now what do I do? I need a new computer. If I order through Apple again will the same thing happen. Should I just buy from a Apple retailer in British Columbia?
 
Wait for 72 hours for a possible update to the shipping.
Try to refrain from checking UPS during that wait time.
(Be patient, my friend)

This happened to me, did you ever get this item delivered?
