:shrug: 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.

How does an online DVD service work?

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.

I will have to check into this. Thanks!

It is a start

It is a start

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.

Netflix is awesome! I agree with everything Itsbob said above.

Thanks for the info... I was leaning towards Netflix, but didn't want to chose them based soley on itsbob's opinion as I favor Harleys over BMW bikes...

No problem.

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.

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.

I'm gonna go stand by my mailbox now.

I wouldn't do that cuz tomorrow is a holiday and the mail doesn't run on holidays so if I were you (which I'm not) I wouldn't go wait by the mail box until at least Wednesday but you do what you want cuz I'm just sayin...
