Don’t know if anyone saw this article.

> Netflix typically sends about 13 movies a month to Villanueva’s home in Warren, Michigan – down from the 18 to 22 DVDs he once received before the company’s automated system identified him as a heavy renter and began delaying his shipments to protect its profits.
I have seen this myself as I put a movie in the mail last Monday and I should be getting the next one in my queue tomorrow. 8 days later. The first couple I had were turned around in 3 days.

We can thank ourselves for renting, copying and returning movies within the same day. They can’t keep up with us. :eek:

They can’t afford to keep up. It is pretty shady.

I might have to go back to the MVP program at Hollywood Video. 3 at a time rentals. Some weeks I would go through 6 DVDs. 6x4 = 24 DVDs in a month for the $15 monthly fee. They were losing money on me. I would never rent the new releases until they came to the MVP program. Patience is the key.
