How odd. In Chicago, I had boxes that had been shipped and held in their
shipping and receiving which I was forced to take into the lobby for the
purpose of unpacking and putting the equipment on carts before I was
allowed to take them into the colo and install in our cabinets. The
reverse procedure was used to pack up the boxes I was shipping home, I had
to take the equipment out of the colo to the lobby and THEN pack it up, IN
THE LOBBY. Needless to say, I found this policy a royal pain in the
youknowwhat. They claim this is a company-wide policy, but if it is it
hasn't been enforced in Seattle (SE2) or in DC (DC2). I have yet to test
how they enforce it in Santa Clara (SC4).
