Hi all,

Can somebody help me to weight the Grasso Cinebook case that can hold 2 x 800'.

ps: this is a type of library case like the picture below:

As you may have known, I bought tens of films from Trevor and some of them were inside this case. I want to measure the exact weight of the case so I can calculate the exact shipping cost from NZ to buyres. I don't want to overcharge shipping by guessing the weight. The guy who helped me does not have a scale, so I don't want to bother him with another works.

If you don't have the 800' but have the one for 2 x 600' please measure for me so I can roughly guess for the 800'.

You can tell me either in metric (grams/kg) or unit (Lb) system.

Please measure it WITHOUT reel or films inside.

thanks

Hi Winbert,

I just weighted some of my Grasso boxes and can tell you that the weight of each empty box is 650 gr.
Reel size is 240 mt.

ciao

Mine weighed in at 667 grams, so 650-700 gr would be a could standard for it.

Thanks guys,

Man...that is real heavy. NZ post (and Royal Mail UK) are the post office using a real-weight calculation in sending items. So even the cost for sending 150 and 152 grams is different.

Most Post office are usually rounding up for every 250 grams or 500 grams. In fact Deutch Post (operated by DHL) rounding up until 2 kg for the same cost!

I think I would just send the films without the case by putting them in cardboard.
