blockbuster.com

Anyone join this service? They are $5.00 cheaper than netflex every month, and I was curious how the service is?

My sister is here with me... she said she just switched to them. She used to used the Wal-mart video service. She said they sent her three right a way... no long wait at all... but she hasn't been using it long enough to give a full review.

Pick the movies you want, they mail them to you. I also think they send you return envelope mailers so you dont have to pay to ship them back...

You sign up for service, with whoever, netflix.com, blockbuster.com, walmart has one and a few other places have them. You make a list of movies you want to see, and with the service I signed up for, they send you 3. Once you are done watching them, you put them in a pre-paid envelope and mail them back. They will send the next movie on your list. So, no returns, all done door to door. The fee is a flat rate and you can watch as many as the back and forth shipping allows within the month.

NETFLIX is worth the extra $5, it's based in Gaithersburg. or one of its distribution ceinter is there,, and the turn around time on the movies is about TWO days (Drop old movie in the mail on Monday, new Movie on Weds or Thur).. no waiting a week or two for your next one.. it is also online,, and you can preorder new releases.. If I want one it gets here the DAY of its release.. Have been a VERY hapy customer of theirs for two years..

I'm seriously considering signing up with one of these companies... I'm looking for updated opinions as to whether or not current users are happy with their service.
