Author Topic: Technicolor Film Boxes Breaking Up? Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 07-26-2010 11:29 AM                     ^^^ Inception was Deluxe. But that still doesn't get tem off the hook for thinking it's cool to send a single, 80-lb box. edit: And I'm sure Deluxe's new "policy" of using 2-boxes per shipment was to deal with rules with UPS. When I worked there, they had a loose policy that anything 70-80 lbs and above was supposed to be carried by two people and were labeled as such for worker safety.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-26-2010 01:00 PM                        Girl Who Played With Fire was TES and 7 reels and like I said elsewhere it all came in a single box. Deluxe currently has local couriers, so not everybody uses UPS for Deluxe prints.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-26-2010 01:24 PM                     One thing this thread has proven that cannot be argued, Technicolor cares more about their customers than Deluxe does. This is proof.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-26-2010 01:28 PM                        No they don't. They would have shipped your Inception in one box.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 07-26-2010 05:34 PM                     Interesting though why TECH just doesn't use these 4 reel boxes all the time - be like "orange can" shipments, just easier for UPS to handle..  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 07-26-2010 06:29 PM                     quote: Monte L Fullmer Interesting though why TECH just doesn't use these 4 reel boxes all the time - be like "orange can" shipments, just easier for UPS to handle.. Like I said, I'm pretty sure that it's a weight requirement. Like you can send one item that's less than X pounds and if you go over that, they switch to two boxes.  |  IP: Logged
