Rent Dvds from NETFLIX? Think Again...

[96RS Alex]

If you don't use Netflix, skip this topic but for those that do, read on.

I had recently quit BlockBuster for their late fee schemes and decided I'd try the Netflix 3 Dvd monthly trial for $17.99 therefore saving myself the hurried trips to return dvds before 12 noon at a BlockBuster Video store less than 3 blocks from my residence.

The initial Netflix trial was going great until I been observing a slowdown in delivery times, not getting my selections on time for the weekend and the new releases would be on a "Very Long Wait" status. I figured it was just the holiday season and still no dvds in my mailbox as of this moment. I have returned the Lord Of The Rings 1,2 & 3 on 11/18. My queue has not received them yet either.

So I Googled " Netflix Sucks " and came up with this very informative link that will open your eyes. http://www.manuelsweb.com/netflix.htm

There's a website saying every business sucks. When you have a big company, you're bound to piss people off no matter how hard your try.

I don't have it, but I know someone who does, and their turn-a-round is 1-3 days. It all depends on your location to their warehouse.

IMO, it's better than blockbusters 'automated purchase program' AKA Their no late fees program.

well I use bloackbuster online, same thing as netflix, and I have been generally happy with it. If you dont get a movie in 3 days, you click a thing telling them never received, and they ship it immediately. Once I lost a movie, I clicked lost movie, they said thanks for your honesty and shipped the next one on my list. and the price is a bit cheaper too.
my 2 cents

I just watch them in the theatre before they are on video. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I used Netflix last year for a few months. It was great. From the time that I dropped a movie in the mailbox to the time that the new one arrived was at max three days, every time. I loved the service. I never had a problem with Netflix when I used it

So, how long have you guys all had the service? I read through the website 96RS Alex posted and everyone on that site says how great the service was for the first few months and they had no complaints at all. Not 'till after the first few months the service went to hell, (They are calling it the Bait and Switch). That includes people who live no more than blocks away from a distribution center.

Im just curious because I was actually thinking about getting this service, but if they are going to start screwing you 6 months down the road because you rent too many movies, whats the point? It actually makes sense to me, if you go through movies quickly, of course they are going to screw you over by slowing you down. They have to ensure they make a profit off you.

Blockbuster Online is way better than Netflix. I'm locked into the 14.95/month 3 rentals out plan untill next year. I use the 2 free in-store coupons/month for renting PS2 games, and they usually give you other freebies like a free previously viewed DVD. I recommend Blockbuster over Netflix. The delivery turnaround is usually 2 days

Also, what does the OP mean by "late fee schemes"?

queen.. i think you should stay out of alex's way.. people dont take too kindly to users who have problems with eachother, its just annoying. Why comment on his posts? Just keep your head up and try to coexist. Besides, women are known to be more mature than guys. You got any pics of your car by the way?

I, too, have read MANY posts; many of which hasn't any constructive content in them what-so-ever. So, what exactly is your point? &lt;boys will be boys I guess&gt;

Stay out of Alex's way??? What is THAT supposed to mean? Sorry, but had to stoop to his low level to prove a point. I think the females on this board &lt;don't take to kindly&gt; to posts such as promoting PORN &lt;a TOTAL lack of respect towards the females on this board&gt;. THAT, my friend, is immature and falls under the category of &lt;leg-humping&gt; in the board rules! Like I said; had to stoop to the male level of juvenile posts to prove a point. Musta worked; got you males feathers all ruffled! LOLOL. :D A dude asks for POKER sites and gets PORN sites??? Nice! This site needs to ban all females; that way you boys can be sexist pigs all you want.
And, yes, I do have pix of my car. Unfortunately, it was stolen a few years back. Where can I send you the photo's? My email is in my profile.

You're right, it shouldn't have been posted, and I can take your side on that, but you went about getting the post deleted and making your point the WRONG WAY!!! I know I would've been pissed if I was at work and something like that popped up. There are emails to ALL the moderators on this board, including mine. All you had to do was email one of them, and the post or the WHOLE topic would have been deleted. Or if that didn't suit you, there are emails to the administrators as well, and it would have all dissapeared.

But not only have you gone about it the wrong way, you have now judged every male on this board to be a sexist pig, which is far from the fact. We have had MANY female members that have gotten along with the male population of this board. And mostly in part that they are members unlike anyone else, as to they can go thru the right channels to get something changed or deleted if deemed nessecary, but you seem to want to be the exception, because us males are "juvenile". You wanna play mind games with me, then step the **** up, cause I will win, if not, EMAIL A MODERATOR!!!!
