Since its obviously one sided in favor of netflix, allow me to be the only person to provide a different perspective.
After 2 months with netflix, here is why I will never subscribe with them ever again. You make a nice list of movies, and they start to arrive in the mail. Wait a solid 2-3 days and send them back. The first 2 weeks or so netflix would receive all 3 movies at once, and promptly ship out 3 more movies and Id get them within 2 days. Wow this is great right? Definitely. As the trend continued (getting the 3 movies, waiting a couple days and sending them back) they started to only get 1 movie at a time, maybe 2 if I was lucky. I was like wtf, Ive NEVER had anything lost in the mail. Why are they only getting 1 movie a day after I send all 3 back? then another day later they get the 2nd one? Then another day later, maybe 2, theyd receive the third one. I thought it was a little fishy, so after that happened a few times I had enough of them cutting off my movie rentals so much. I decided, instead of sending all 3 back in the separate envelopes they came in, Id just put all 3 dvds in a single envelope and send them back (dropped it off sunday night). Then there is no way in hell theyd receive them separately right? RIGHT ON! The catch? The recieved all of them on friday and they only sent me out 2 movies and I didnt get them until the following tuesday. I instantly canceled and sent a nasty nasty email (twice actually), describing all of that, and didnt get a response.
Basically the moral of the story is dont rent too much, as they will start to cut you off. I cant believe it, because I even waited a couple days or more before I sent them back! Sure I was burning every dvd that entered my house, but like they know that? Im sure your grandparents arent into burning movies and what not, and most likely wont have this problem as they will just watch movies at their leisure and maybe only see 6 a month anyway, rather than the 12-15 I was hoping for. With Blockbuster, I highly doubt they can turn you away if you go into their retail store. “im sorry buy you rent too much, we are gonna have to cut you off for a few days”. Just another perspective I guess.
