Abstract
We consider the scenario where a company $C$ manufactures in bulk pure entangled pairs of particles, each pair intended for a distinct pair of distant customers. Unfortunately, its delivery service is inept---the probability that any given customer pair receives its intended particles is $S∊[0,1]$, and the customers cannot detect whether an error has occurred. Remarkably, no matter how small $S$ is, it is still possible for $C$ to distribute entanglement by starting with nonmaximally entangled pairs. We determine the maximum entanglement distributable for a given $S$, and also determine the ability of the parties to perform nonlocal tasks with the qubits they receive.
