Do any of you return trailers to Buena Vista? I was just wondering because they used to send me pre-paid mailing labels for the return cartons, but recently I have not gotten any. I think Fox is the only studio serious about trailer returns. Just checking to see what the story is.

We get return labels for Sony trailers which go to NSS, so I often stick BV trailers in with the Sonys.

Paramount sends labels, but they're not prepaid....cheapskates.

Fox Sony and BV send us the pre-paid labels. If you want to return WB trailers call TES and ask them to send you "Jiffy Packs." Each pack will hold 6 regular sized trailers.

Something I've considered but have not done yet is sending trailers back in the cans if they're the same studio as the movie. Hell, if someone gets that print for a second run they'll need them anyway, just takes out the middle man.

New Line has also sent me pre-paid return slips. I do agree that Fox seems to be the only one that really pursues it.
