It could be they "color timed" the print to be on the cool (bluish) side. Or your screen light could have much higher than the correct 5400 Kelvin color temperature specified by SMPTE 196M.

If the entire print was deliberately color timed "bluish", that is the way they want it to look.

A lab error in color balance would usually affect only one reel. If one reel is really off in color, ask the distributor if it can be replaced.
