I have had Netflix since June, and I am pretty pissed off at them right now. Everything went well for the first couple of months, but now their service has really begun to suck. I am on the plan that allows me two DVDs at a time, with an unlimited amount available per month. I think that Netflix has been "throttling" me by purposely delaying my shipments. It's not even like I take that many out a month, maybe one or two a week! What's really pissed me off is that 5 out of the 7 DVDs that I have recently rented were unplayable due to excessive scratches and even some pitting! I wrote to Netflix and they told me that their DVDs are inspected before being sent--I don't see how this can be true! To take the cake, they sent me an extra "free" DVD as an apology-it was a copy of the latest movie that I had to send back due to it being so scratched that I couldn't watch it-and the replacement was also unplayable! I'm looking into joining another service. Anyone have another one that is better?

One more thing--I can't go to a Blockbuster video store because the nearest one is over an hour from my house. This is why I rent through the mail.

My beau uses Blockbuster and he is a very picky guy. He also used Netflix, but found that Blockbuster was so incredibly better for his needs (he's housebound), and they ship the next movie so quick, that it will make your head spin.
I think they scan it at the post office, and Blockbuster ships out the next movie BEFORE they even get yours back. I mean, like 24 - 36 hrs later, you have your movie! Incredible.

I have both and really it depends on how much time you have to watch dvds, on netflix you don't have the option to exchange for a free movie at Blockbuster Video right away but you can view alot of movies right away online instead of waiting for them to come to you in the mail. All depends on your needs. Hope this helps.

Blockbuster, because they allow you to return the movies rented to their nearest store, rather then having to return them by mail.

I use Blockbuster too and I haven't had any problems. I always get my movies within a couple days and I haven't had any problems.
