I like the convience. I just went online and made a queue (list of movies I wanted to see) and they send one (or more depending on what I have sent back or not) and they normally are here the next day. Some movies on my queue are really old and have had to be shipped from other locations and the mail time tends to be 2-3 days on them. The only problem I've had with them so far, is last week I received two movies, one was broken in half, the other had a triangular crack in it. I reported them damaged and sent them back, they sent replacements. The first one was fine. The second one, however, the sent me back the exact same one I sent them that was cracked. I sent them an email about it and am awaiting a response, but in the meantime they are sending me another movie.
Aside from that one issue, I love it, it's a lot cheaper than renting at the video store, I can keep the movies as long as I want and I don't have to leave my house or stand in line to get a movie.

If you are constantly renting movies, Netflix is great! Its a much better deal than renting dvd's for $4 for a couple days. Its got a great selection of movies and tv series. (Its awesome if you want to go through a seasons of tv shows)The best deal is you have the dvds for as long as you need them.
I've been using Netflix for about 6 months, and havent had any bad experiences.

They are an ok company. Just that my friends had experience with the mail man stealing the DVD's. No joke. I had an ok experience with them also just that sometimes the newer DVD's were hard to get right away. Blockbuster offers the same online thing and you get more. I tried that also but I don't like going into the store to get the free in store DVD's. I think Vongo is horrible don't try that no a lot of selection there.

I had Netflix for about a year and a half while I was in college. They were very prompt getting my DVDs to me. But I lived near a shipping station.
For the most part their selection is about as good as you can expect. With new releases there's usually a little bit of a wait. One DVD in that entire time arrived broken, but they replace it no questions asked.
All in all, I'd recommend it if you rent a lot of movies.

I liked Netflix and they are pretty good, and they have loads of movies -and plenty of differnet plans to chose from but sometimes you have to wait for them to send a movie to you
their main competitor is blockbuster video (in my own opinion)
they have a better deal, as you exchange a DVD you got
from Blockbuster online at most any Blockbuster Video store
at no charge and thats on topic of what your plan is..
and you can do that on a Sunday or a holiday when theres no mail.. (you cant do that with netflix)

i have had really good experiences with netflix, they let you keep the movie for as long as you want and you just have to pay the monthly fee every month. You can also choose how many movies you want sent at once. They ship them when they tell you they say they are and for me i have never had a bad disc.

i've been using netflix for about 6 months now. movies usually arrive in 2-3 business days. i get 3 movies out at once for about $20/month. no limit as to how many movies you can rent for the month. i haven't had a problem with netflix so far. i don't even go to the movies anymore, except for movies with a lot of special effects. i just wait for it to come out on dvds.
it's good if you have movies to catch up on and there are no late fees. you can keep the movies as long as you like. the website is really easy to use. it recommends movies based on your past selections, so it helped me expand my movies horizon.

Very good experience. Sometimes a lag in delivery or a bad disc happens. For the most I am happy with the sevice that NETFLIX delivers.

I had a good free two week trial with them. I didn't continue after that though. It wasn't because anything bad happened, I just didn't want to pay. So if you have $10 a month, I'd say go for it. The DVD's get to you fast and they have a lot of titles.

Its about 80% Good, 20% Bad.
I love the idea off movies in my box. I get one about every three to four days. But they do make errors, get alot of scatched non working dvd's and they tend to not get here the day they say.
They have been sued for purposely delaying shipment of dvd's to give less service of dvd's so they get the money and you get nothing.
