Netflix Shipping and Receiving Friday, March 10, 2006 (00:35:26) Posted by gummi I've been with netflix exactly 2 months now and have been seeing movies taking longer to be checked in. In fact I dropped my last one off at the post office Thursday and they most likely had it Friday. I received an email saying they received it today. Today is a postal holiday, 1.16.06, is Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday. Well it's evident someone went to work without there coffee this morning and forgot it's a holiday. Google-ing "Netflix Shipping and Receiving" I see this throttling is common practice, some say blockbuster is better some say it's even worse than netflix. I think they should offer a series of truly unlimited plans that allow the next day shipping & receiving but we pay all or part of the shipping. That way you can get 2 movies a week on the cheapest plan! UPDATE: Well somehow I got the next movie on tuesday, I guess it went out early morning tuesday (like 1am). Still, every disc I received took one day, while check-in takes two or three days. Content received from: Gummisoft, http://gummisoft.com
