Author Topic: New York Minute "Customs Problem"? Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 05-06-2004 05:28 PM                        Anyone else's print being delayed? Ours is not at Seattle ETS, because (they say), ALL prints are being held up at the Canadian border. We'll get our print sometime tomorrow (Friday).... maybe. First I've ever heard of such a thing. (edit) Found out... I guess. Seems some 10 prints have been held up for reasons unknown. Because of that, only will-call accounts... like me... are being delayed. Sometimes, being next door to the depot is not such a good thing!  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Their Hollywood labs are busy too. Kodak routinely ships motion picture film into Canada. But if the paperwork isn't in order, the delays at the border can be frustrating when you're trying to ship or carry items of value like film.  |  IP: Logged
