Author Topic: Deluxe getting out of the film shipping business Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-15-2011 02:33 PM                        I haven't seen this anywhere else on the forum, but I just got a note from our booker saying that Deluxe is getting out of the film shipping business. He says, "During the next several weeks there will be confusion about where prints are shipping from and when they will arrive. Do not expect your prints to just show up like they used to. Please do not hesitate to call and ask about how your print is going to arrive." So if Technicolor is out of the film making business, I guess that means Technicolor will now be shipping all Deluxe prints, no? If anybody needed any further proof that film is on the way out, this should be it.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-15-2011 02:35 PM                     I saw a post that said exactly that; Deluxe prints, Tech ships. Efficient, huh!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 08-15-2011 02:39 PM                     Thus, the end of the "grey can/FOX BOX" era? Then, we're back to two colors: Orange (TECH), and yellow (Cinedigm).  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 08-15-2011 03:47 PM                    Didn't see anywhere that they where dropping digital hard drive shipping so you should still see a Gray box for the hard drives. So Gray, oranage and yellow will still be around for that.  |  IP: Logged Jen Pelto Film Handler Posts: 30 From: Muskegon, MI, USA Registered: Aug 2011 posted 08-15-2011 04:42 PM                     The operations manager (I believe that's her title?) with MTD (private courier of Deluxe) keeps telling us that it's their week. It's been the last week for a few weeks now. Any day now, I expect the switchover in our part of the country.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.
