My neighbor has blockbuster and I receive his movies in the mail every week. I give them to him when I see him, which is once a month. So I'd say blockbuster has some bugs.

If I want one it gets here the DAY of its release.. Have been a VERY hapy customer of theirs for two years..
YUP!!!

We've been doing it for a few months now and are thrilled... New releases get there same day as released. Only ever got 1 cracked DVD but it was replaced quickly.

Every now and then I'll get an email from Netflix asking about delivery time, asking "did {blank} movie arrive on Friday the 6th, Saturday the 7th, etc." I'm always at a loss, because they've always arrived a day or 2 before the first listed option!

what's itsbob said is still true-- mail a movie back Monday and you'll have a replacement NLT Thursday.

More importantly, can you get whoppers, popcorn, jujube’s and snowcaps w/that online order?

I have Netflix and they're great. I am impressed by their speed especially. Very fast when processing returns and shipping out the next DVDs on your queue. They also have a huge collection of DVDs so you can get more obscure or older things in addition to the hot new releases (oh, and TV show season discs are offered as well). Right now I have Ultraviolet home from Netflix and The Libertine and The Matador are on the way. Their DVDs arrive fast and in excellent condition. Itsbob is right -- Netflix is great.

I signed up with Netflix this afternoon and really enjoyed selecting some of the older movies I want to share with my son, but have had a hard time finding... "Eddie and the Cruisers" and "Harlem Nights" are two movies he has never heard of that I really think he will enjoy... the third movie on the way is "Blazing Saddles" which should be right up his humor alley...

I'm gonna go stand by my mailbox now.
