A suburban neighborhood in south Denver received an unusual delivery of over 800 boxes from the Japanese toy conglomerate Hasbro. Despite the area having strict HOA regulations prohibiting commercial chaos, the residents were unaware that this industrial freight was arriving. The documentary narrative captures the delivery process, the coordination involved, and the reasons behind importing what was deemed 'dead inventory.' This scenario highlights the unexpected intersections of business operations and suburban life, as well as the complexities surrounding the management of surplus products.
Receiving industrial freight deliveries, freshly cleared through international customs, probably wasn't explicitly prohibited in the homeowner's handbook. But then, why would it need to be?
Balancing four at a time on a handcart, it took 200 trips through the open garage door and down the unfinished basement steps.
5,800 miles away, a man in middle management at the global Japanese toy conglomerate, Hasbro, must have been very pleased.
Those boxes were dead inventory, wasting space in a nondescript warehouse. They should have been headed for a landfill and a tax write-off.
